itemit’s GPS Tracking software can help you to track your organisation’s assets with ease. Thanks to the way that it works all types of assets can be tracked. Organisations can track laptops, printers, scanners, mobile devices, and many other smaller assets using itemits QR tags which will offer a last seen location using GPS, upon being scanned.

Whilst larger items can also be tracked using GPS trackers, which are most suited to assets such as vehicles, and machinery.

If your organisation has vehicles, they can be tracked very easily. Regardless of what type of vehicles you have, there really are no limits.

• Delivery trucks and vans
• Courier motorcycles or bicycles
• Ice cream vans
• Taxis
• Buses
• Cabs
• Roadside rescue vans
• Sports equipment vans 

It doesn’t matter how large your organisation is or what you do, if you have a fleet of vehicles, then tracking them with itemit could be the solution for you!

When a user logs into itemit, they can see the vehicle’s last-known location providing a GPS tracker has been fitted. With this information, users can understand just how much progress a driver has made and which route they’ve taken. They can also form an idea as to how much longer the driver will be before they’ve reached their destination.

When organisations use machinery in different locations, tracking the assets can prove to be very useful. Machinery hire companies, for example, can track the generators they hire out. Construction companies can work out where the road marking machinery is.

Being able to access this at the touch of a button can bring peace of mind. Additionally, it can help users to locate the machinery that may not be where it should be. For example, stolen or lost machinery can be found with minimal effort.

Organisations that hire out portable cabins all over the UK will know exactly where the cabins are located. They can also tell which company has the cabins, how many they have, and when they expect to return them. If this was not enough, users of itemit’s GPS Tracking software can receive maintenance alerts, should a portable cabin become damaged. To do so non-itemit users can report an issue using itemits public profile feature! Whilst those with the app can simply scan the tag, or log into the app to locate the asset and simply report the issue. 

GPS Tracking software can prove to be highly useful. When it is used to track assets that move between locations, assets are less likely to go missing. Additionally, users can understand whether they have enough assets or whether more is required. 

Assets that are in high demand can become overused and potentially damaged. This is where having additional assets can be very useful. itemit’s tracking software can let users know how often assets are used, helping users to understand whether more assets need to be purchased.

itemit’s GPS Tracking software works by showing users where the asset’s last-known location is either through live update as long as a GPS tracking device is fitted or with a manual update upon QR tag scans.

However, before asset tracking is possible, users need to input the asset’s details into the system. To do this all that is required is for the user to scan a QR tag and input the asset’s information or add the asset into the system creating its very own profile and then add a GPS tracker! As much information about each asset can be inputted as the user wishes. However, the more information there is in the system, the more helpful it will be. 

For example, Asset A’s name, serial number, model number, insurance and warranty details and cost of purchase can be added. Additionally, photographs of the asset can be added. 

As soon as the required information has been added to the system, the asset in question can be tracked. Assets can also be checked in and out of a warehouse or store room. When tracked assets are checked out in an employee’s name, they’re much more likely to take care of them. The overall benefits see assets less likely to be lost, and this therefore increases visibility for managers. 

Let itemit help you with your GPS Tracking needs. It is possible for you to track a wide variety of assets from the largest to the smallest. GPS Tracking is relatively easy and it can take moments to locate each asset.

Whether your organisation owns vehicles, machinery, portable cabins or any large equipment, it can be tracked. There are no limits as to what can be tracked, and this is what helps to make itemit’s tracking software incredibly useful.

Here at Itemit, we know how important it is that you have complete control over all of your assets. Here is where our Hardware Asset Management can help. Thanks to the way our software works it can help you to keep on top of all of your hardware all of the time. 

No matter where you work or what type of business you run, it’s crucial that you know where your hardware is. When you do, ghost assets are eliminated and users take more responsibility for the assets they have signed for them. 

Below, you will find the details of 5 types of hardware that you can track with itemit’s asset management software.

While it can be relatively easy to control the whereabouts of desktop computers, laptops and tablets are different. Devices such as these may be taken from office to office every day. This can potentially make it hard to stay on top of which employee has the device. 

This is where placing a QR code or RFID tag can help. Once the code or tag has been attached, it can be scanned. If the device’s details have been added to the system, it’s possible to track its location. 

Should your employees need to take laptops and/or tablets off the premises, they can be tracked. Additionally, ensuring that every user signs the devices out, they are less likely to lose them.

Some workplaces use scanners to aid in stock control. Goods might be counted using a scanner, products may be received into the warehouse, or barcodes may be used to create orders. 

Scanners can prove to be highly useful tools, essentially making an employee’s workload easier. However, scanners can also be misplaced, or lost in the warehouse. Should a scanner have a QR code or RFID tag attached, management can locate them instantly. This ensures that replacement scanners are less likely to be purchased.

Construction businesses and manufacturers often use a wide range of tools. Tools can be expensive and an integral part of any business. However, from time to time, tools can go missing. Whether they go missing intentionally or by accident, the cost of replacement can be quite high.

When tools are frequently used in multiple locations, there is always a risk that they may not be returned after use. Here is where adding an RFID tag or QR code can prove to be invaluable. The mere addition of a tag shows that the tool in question is being tracked. itemit’s Hardware Asset Management software acts as a security measure, and tools are more likely to be returned.

Machinery hire companies take a risk when they hire out their equipment to individuals and businesses. There is no guarantee that machinery will be returned, even if a deposit has been accepted. Here is where the right Hardware Asset Management software can help. 

When each piece of machinery is tracked, the company that hires it out can locate it at all times. In addition to this, should the machinery return damaged, a request can be put in for it to undergo maintenance. The maintenance team will receive a notification from the software, detailing which piece of machinery needs to be repaired. This can help to speed the repair process up, This helps to ensure that the machinery is ready to hire out sooner rather than later.

Our hospitals are in urgent need of the right equipment so that patients can be diagnosed and treated quickly. itemit’s Hardware Asset Management can help hospital departments to track equipment all day, every day. 

Much-needed equipment can be tagged using a barcode, and hospital workers can locate it at all times. As long as they are logged into the system, they can see where the equipment’s last known location was. With this knowledge, the team will no longer need to search for the equipment. Rather, they will know that it’s located in a particular part of the hospital. This can help to save time and ensure that patients receive the care that they need more quickly. 

Our asset management software can also be ideal for use in Doctor’s surgeries and in the community. Helping to lower the risk of equipment going missing, our underfunded health service can spend the funds elsewhere.

itemit’s Hardware Asset Management software is incredibly useful. It can be used in a range of environments, ensuring that it is possible to track many different types of software. 

Contact itemit today to find out more about our Hardware Asset Management software and how it can help you. You can reach our customer service team at team@itemit.com. Alternatively, you can sign up for a 14-day Free Trial so you can see how well our tracking software works for you.

Keeping your assets organised can help to make life so much easier. Knowing where all of your assets are all day, every day, can help you to complete work faster. You will no longer need to search for a long time to find the assets you need. You can simply locate the assets quickly and use them to undertake the task in question.

To track assets, all you need to do is scan the barcode and you’ll be shown a menu. Input the asset’s details into the menu and enter as much information as you wish. Once you’ve entered everything you’ll need to save the details and you’re done. The next time you scan that particular barcode, the entered information will be shown. 

Here at itemit, we are more than happy to supply you with QR codes should you require them. However, you may not always need to purchase codes and tags. Most books, for example, come with barcodes. Therefore, adding books to the system will allow you to locate them, find out the book’s purchase date, whether it’s a first edition, who owns the book, and more. 

Anything that already has a barcode can be added to itemit’s system, making them easier to track. 

Whether you work for a company or you simply want to track your books at home, you can. Scanning each book’s barcode allows users to input details about the book itself and its possible location. 

Users can note that they have placed the book in a specific room. This ensures that the next time they open the software, they can see that they have a general idea about its location.  However, itemit’s software will show the user where the last known location is. What this means is that finding the book in question can be easier. It’s not simply in the spare bedroom, it’s located on the bookshelf on the right-hand side.

As the software makes issue reporting very easy, assets are more likely to be taken care of. What this essentially means is each asset will have a longer lifespan. In addition to this, companies may no longer need to spend quite as much money replacing assets. As a result, more money can be spent elsewhere, helping the company to thrive. This is what the right Barcode Tracking software can do for you and your company.

Photographs are not the only thing that users can upload. It is also possible to upload forms and manuals. Manuals, for example, can be highly useful when users are trying to ascertain how to use machinery for the first time. However, manuals can go missing or become damaged over time. This is where having the manuals in itemit’s system can prove to be highly useful.

All that users need to do is select the manual and they’ll be able to access it. There is no need to look for the manual or order a new one online. The manual will be easily accessible for people to use as and when it is needed.

itemit offers high-quality Asset Tracking Software that helps all kinds of businesses to track their assets. However, some businesses use spreadsheets instead. Spreadsheets are a relatively easy solution to asset tracking, but they don’t offer all of the features that tracking software does.

There are many disadvantages of using spreadsheets as opposed to Asset Tracking Software. These disadvantages include:

Spreadsheets do not tell users who the last person to update the spreadsheet was. In addition to this, changes can be made without requiring permission. There is also a risk of other people accessing private information from the spreadsheet. 

Spreadsheets can be somewhat unreliable as they may not always function and they can often be hard to read. Those who access a spreadsheet via a mobile phone or tablet may have to scroll to reach one end of the spreadsheet. There is a real potential here for users to insert or read data from the wrong row or column.

When it comes to using spreadsheets, it is completely possible for them to be time consuming. Users may have to wait a few minutes for large spreadsheets to load. 

When it comes to updating spreadsheets with work orders, spreadsheets don’t always offer much help. A user could access the spreadsheet to determine what task they have to undertake next. After completing the task, the user will need to access the spreadsheet once more to fill in the details and update the work order’s status. Again, this can be somewhat time consuming.

It is thought that an estimated £98 billion every year is wasted due to human error. It’s easy to enter incorrect information into a spreadsheet. There will be no way of knowing who entered the information or even why it was entered in the first place. 

• For example, an extra 10,000 tickets were issued for a London Olympics swimming event.
• A power generation company once suffered $24 in losses due to an error that resulted in them buying higher-priced contracts 
• A large bank once purchased 179 more contracts than they needed to because someone had hidden some cells rather than deleting them.
• A pension fund company had £4 million worth of profits slashed due to a spreadsheet error.

The list goes on. We humans can make errors without even realising it. However, most of these errors can potentially be avoided if the right tracking software is used.

Some of the advantages associated with itemit’s Asset Tracking Software include:

Users will receive real time updates whenever they log into the system. It’s clear to see where assets are, who has updated the system and what updates have been made. No matter where the user is, the software will work and there’s little room for error.

Thanks to the way that itemit’s tracking software works, security levels will be increased. As every single asset will have a QR code or RFID attached, they are less likely to go missing. In addition to this, users may have to check the items in and out when they are used. This not only creates historical data, but it automatically places more responsibility on the user.

It is possible to create highly detailed information when tracking assets. Information such as the date of purchase, insurance and warranty details, and estimated lifespan can prove to be very useful. These pieces of information are hard to add to a spreadsheet. Thanks to the way that itemit’s software works, users can add as much information as is required.

Assets will automatically have increased longevity as they are more likely to undergo frequent maintenance. This is thanks to the maintenance schedule that can be set up in the system. As long as the schedule is adhered to, every asset will be taken care of and faults can be remedied.

As soon as an employee knows where to find a much-needed asset, they won’t need to spend time looking for it. In addition to this, should the asset be used by another employee, they can put in a request for it. This helps to eliminate time spent negotiating usage. However, there is another benefit to this. When a particular asset is frequently used, managers can make clear decisions about whether a new asset needs to be purchased. Purchasing further similar assets can help to improve employee efficiency even further. Without being able to access data that indicates how often an asset is used, managers may not know there is a demand for it.

itemit’s Asset Tracking Software surpasses spreadsheets and can be beneficial to businesses of all shapes and sizes. If you wish to use software that is superior to spreadsheets, or you simply want to track your assets efficiently itemit can help.
