Organisation is key for any business of any size and sector. Ideally, business owners will always be aware of where their assets are. It would be reasonable for owners to also understand the value of each asset, the maintenance status, and which employees are using which assets. 

An asset register app can prove to be beneficial to a business as it can effectively help business owners to keep a detailed list of their assets. This can often be easier said than done, particularly if a business has multiple locations. However, the right asset register app can make life a lot easier. Once an asset app has been downloaded, it’s time to prepare an asset register.

Before you prepare an asset register, you should be aware of what is considered to be an asset. Your assets consist of all those tools, furniture, equipment, property, machinery, and land that you use as part of your daily business operations. Your assets may be listed on an inventory and your balance sheet. 

Think about all of the assets that you have and those that you wish to add to your asset register app. You do not have to add all of your assets to the app unless you wish to do so.

If you plan to test out an asset app, consider only adding your most important assets in the meantime. If you should find that your chosen app is ideal, you could add the remainder of your assets. 

Visit all of your locations or walk around your building and identify all of your assets. Make sure you add all of your assets to the app, including the newest assets and those you no longer use. Even the assets that you do not use but remain in your possession are likely to be of value.

Adding assets to any asset register app should be a relatively easy process. Some app providers will offer you the opportunity to attach barcodes to your assets. It’s these barcodes that can help you to track many different aspects of each asset. 

All that is required to add an asset to the register is for you to:

• Attach a barcode to an asset
• Scan the barcode to create a digital profile 
• Add the asset’s information to the register 

Some asset apps allow you to upload photographs of your assets. This can prove to be very useful if you need to find an asset quickly. It can also prove to be useful if an asset has been damaged and you want to show the maintenance team the extent of the damage.

If you wish to enter a lot of information about each asset into the asset register app, you can. However, it all depends on which app you are using. Some apps only allow you to add minimal information such as the product name, serial number, and size or weight. Others allow you to add much more information such as;

• Product name
• Serial number
• Date of purchase 
• Insurance information 
• Warranty details 
• Maintenance schedule 
• Instruction manual 
• Current and former users of the asset 
• Potential resale value of the asset
• Potential current value of the asset 

The more information that you can add about each asset, the better. If you upload a copy of the instruction manual, for example, you can save yourself time in the future. Knowing that you can access the manual via your app means you can potentially find the information you need within moments. You may no longer need to search online for a user manual, you can simply find what you need whenever you need it.

One of the major reasons why business owners like to use an asset register app is that they can offer tracking solutions. The ability to track the location of some or all of your assets can help to boost security. In addition to this, it can help you to understand whether your assets are where they should be. In other words, whether your new fleet of vans has been sent to the correct warehouse. 

As soon as you attach a barcode or in some cases a QR code to an asset, it makes tracking the asset’s location easier. However, this all depends on the app you choose to use. Some simply allow you to track an asset’s details rather than its location. If tracking the location of your assets is important to you, opt for an app that offers you this option.

Using the right app can help you and your business to create an asset register that’s easy to use. If you have any questions about using an asset register, please talk to us. You can reach us now at team@itemit.com.

1. The Life Of Assets Will Be Extended
2. Levels of Productivity Will Skyrocket
3. Operations and Processes Will Be Streamlined
4. Lost Assets Will Be Recovered
5. Ghost Assets Will be Located And Identified

This is where using asset tracking software can make a difference. With the right software, processes can be streamlined and your business can run more smoothly. 

Let’s take a look at 5 reasons as to exactly why your business needs asset tracking software.

A major benefit of this is that assets can be repaired as and when it is required rather than as per a yearly schedule. As a result, the life of assets can be extended and it’s all thanks to asset tracking software. Furthermore, there is a real potential here for money to be saved. When assets are repaired as and when it is required, they are less likely to need replacing. This means that the funds that would have been allocated for maintenance could be used elsewhere.

The need to find the right piece of paper or log book vanishes. This particular task can be undertaken within moments and the asset can be tracked to a specific user. This feature also ensures that the employee can continue with their work rather than having to take time to stop and fill in a form.

One of the major benefits of being able to track your assets is that lost assets can be recovered. Users of tracking software can see the lost asset’s last-known location. Employees can work out where they were the last time they used a piece of machinery. All that they need to do is to log into the software, select the asset in question and they’ll be shown its location. 

Not only does this feature ensure that time spent searching for the machinery can be saved, it also increases security. Should an asset be stolen, it may be possible to see where it is. Therefore, your business may not need to spend money replacing the asset.

This feature alone can help to improve productivity. It ensures everyone is more likely to have the tools that they need to undertake their tasks.

2. Regularly Maintaining Equipment
3. Human Errors
4. Let itemit’s Equipment Tracking Software Help You To Overcome Challenges

Every business owner is likely to have issues with equipment management. This is because every business is likely to have a multitude of equipment in a variety of locations. As a result, challenges may present themselves in all areas of the business. However, with the right equipment tracking software, it is possible for you to overcome such issues. 

Here is where we can come in and help you. We’re a team of experts who can help you to overcome a wide range of equipment challenges. Our software is used by businesses everywhere and your business could do the same. 

Below, you will find details of some of the most common equipment management challenges and how you too can overcome them.

Tracking equipment can prove to be almost impossible. If you have multiple locations, a lot of employees and/or a lot of equipment, tracking it can be difficult. As a result, equipment may be misplaced or even stolen. This results in daily operations failing to run as smoothly as they should. Productivity could decrease and profit margins could be affected. 

With the right equipment tracking software, however, it is possible to remove all of these issues. Using a QR code or RFID tag and our software, you could track your equipment all day, every day. This ensures you may no longer need to replace equipment that has been lost or stolen. It also ensures that your team has access to the equipment it needs at all times. Therefore, productivity can be optimised and your business could benefit.

Maintaining equipment can be a potential issue for businesses everywhere. This is simply because scheduling regular maintenance can be a headache. When equipment is not regularly maintained it can begin to fail. This is where itemit’s equipment tracking software can make a real difference. 

Thanks to the way that our software works, maintaining your equipment can be easier than you think. As soon as you have created a digital profile for one piece of equipment you can create a maintenance schedule. Our software will send an alert to your chosen team members to tell them when maintenance is due on some of your equipment.

When the maintenance team is aware of what needs to be maintained and when, they’re more likely to repair equipment. Therefore, your valuable and essential equipment is more likely to stay in good condition. However, this is not the only useful feature that can help with maintenance. Should a machine, for example, develop issues, a member of your team can alert the maintenance team. It’s possible to do this by simply leaving a message and tagging the maintenance team in the message. This feature ensures that all of your equipment is much more likely to be in good working order at all times.

Should you and your team rely on spreadsheets rather than equipment tracking software, you could find that human errors take place. From time to time, members of your team may make mistakes when entering information into the spreadsheets. Unfortunately, this can result in the data being incomplete and/or incorrect. 

While using spreadsheets can be cheap to use, there is a real risk that mistakes will be made. Additionally, if many people have access to the same spreadsheet they can take too long to load. Spreadsheets can also fail to let you see who has made changes and where. All of this can be resolved by using itemit’s equipment tracking software. 

Our easy-to-use software works to ensure that all of the inputted data is accurate. The process of manually entering information can be virtually eliminated, allowing us to do the hard work for you. Creating useful data and allowing you to export reports when you wish to means you’re more likely to have accurate data to hand at all times. 

Our equipment tracking software is here to help your business to succeed. No matter what type of business you run, where you’re located, or how long you’ve been trading, we can help you. With the touch of a few buttons, your equipment management challenges can disappear. As a result, your business could run more smoothly, more accurately, and more successfully.

The next step is for them to message the maintenance team who can prepare to repair the tablet. As a result, the tablet can be repaired much quicker.

When you know where all of your remote IT assets are, they can be more secure. You’re a lot less likely to lose an asset due to theft or someone simply leaving an asset behind.

When you use our IT inventory management software, you allow for smoother asset management. itemit helps to take the hard work out of managing assets nearby and those that are being used remotely.

We’ll also show you why your business needs an asset register and how your business benefits from having an asset register.

Knowing what assets you have can help you to create an accurate asset register. Your assets are anything that your business uses and is of value.

Before you use your new asset register app, be prepared to go from room to room adding the assets to the register. If you have many rooms or more than one location it may be wise to ask someone to help you with this.

Did you know that you can ask us to add your branding and logo to the QR codes? Simply send us an email and we will respond with a quote. 

As soon as you have affixed a QR code to an asset, you can begin to track that asset. All that you need to do is to scan the code and a digital profile will be created. In this profile, you can add as much information as you wish about each asset. For example, you can add the asset’s:

• Make and model
• Size, and weight

In this guide:

1. What Is Computer Inventory Management?
2. What Are The Benefits Of Having A Computer Inventory?
3. How You Can Save Your Business Money

But what exactly is computer inventory management and how can you make it work for your business? Read on for more information.

• You can track your assets – Being able to see where all of your computer assets are is incredibly useful. If assets are used in multiple locations it makes sense to track them. You can do this by attaching a barcode or a QR code to your assets. 
• Your assets will be in better condition – Most computer inventory management software allows you to set maintenance schedules and reminders. When an alert appears, the maintenance team can action the alert and maintain and repair the asset in question. 
• It’s possible to see who is using what – The check in and check out feature ensures that you can see whether the right member of your team has the right laptop, for example. This feature can also help with security as your team will be aware that you know which computer, tablet, phone, or laptop they are using. 
• Assets can be organised into collections – When assets are organised into collections, it makes it easier to find an asset should you need to. For example, you could add the assets located in the admin department to one collection. When you need to check the maintenance status of the assets in that department, you can simply press a button. You will then be shown every asset that the admin team uses and you can check the status.
• You can eliminate ghost assets – As all assets can be traced and maintained, it’s possible to eliminate ghost assets. This is because every single asset will be accounted for. There can be fewer to no assets left on a shelf for 6 months waiting to be repaired.
• Exportable reports are easy to create – Thanks to the way that computer inventory management works, you can create reports and export them. Every time that an asset is used, data is created. It’s this data that can be added to a report for you to read. As a result, you could have a clearer understanding of how your business is running.  
• Fewer assets are likely to be stolen or lost – Every asset can have a barcode or a QR code attached. This ensures that they can be tracked all day every day. Stolen or lost assets can become a thing of the past as it’s clear each asset is tracked at all times. 

As you can see, there are more than a few benefits to using inventory management software. It’s no wonder that many businesses all over the globe use software such as this to help them.

Your business can also save even more money as every asset is likely to be in much better condition. Assets can be maintained regularly thanks to the maintenance schedules. They can also be repaired when an issue arises. As long as the maintenance team is alerted to an issue such as a broken laptop screen, for example, they can deal with the issue. As a result, less money will need to be spent replacing assets that are no longer used because they don’t work. The issue can be dealt with and the laptop can be used once more.
