The cost of living is rocketing, meaning more people and businesses are trying to cut back. What you may not be aware of is that itemit’s asset management software can help you to save money. 

As many people are aware, an asset register is a wholly useful tool. It’s where you can successfully log all of your business’s assets. With the ability to customise an asset register, businesses can create an IT asset register or a register that’s specific to their industry.

The right asset management software can save you money in a variety of ways. Some of the ways that you can save money include:

When you have a complete record of all of your assets your operations will be more accountable. You will be able to see which assets you have, where they are, and who is using them. You can do all of this at the touch of a button, thanks to the way that itemit’s software works. 

When you have an asset register it helps every asset to come to life. In other words, every asset will be accounted for. You can build up an asset history and see how it is used throughout the asset’s life cycle. As a result, assets are a lot less likely to become lost or get stolen. What this means is your business is a lot less likely to have to spend money replacing lost or stolen assets. They can be accounted for all day, every day. 

Asset records can also help you and your business to save money by allowing you to account for the assets you own.

It is entirely possible for you to save money by tracking your assets. We have already seen that you can add assets to a register. However, you can go one step further. itemit’s asset management software allows you to track your assets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

When a QR code or a barcode is attached to an asset and assigned to it, it can be tracked. All of your assets can be added to the software as unique profiles. This ensures that you can track each and every one of them. 

As soon as your assets have been tagged, you can scan the tag and see the asset’s profile. Alternatively, if the asset is not nearby, you can select the profile and see where the asset was last seen.

In addition to being able to see the asset’s location, you can see who is using the asset and why. As a result, you have a trail of asset use. Not only can having this information to hand save time but it can save money as well. We have already seen that tracked assets are less likely to become lost or stolen. However, there is an additional benefit. 

When you track an asset using our asset management software you will have the chance to report any issues. Should something go wrong with an asset, you can leave a note for the maintenance team. The note can be left in the system and the maintenance team will receive an alert. As a result, the asset in question can be repaired and put back into circulation. 

When assets are repaired and maintained more often they are likely to last longer. Therefore, there will be less of a need to replace the asset as it will be in a better state of repair. Ultimately, this means you can save money.

From time to time, almost every business has ghost assets. These are assets that the business owns but no longer uses. Some ghost assets have been put to one side because they no longer work. Other ghost assets have simply gone missing. 

Thanks to the way that our asset software works you can effectively eliminate ghost assets. By monitoring your assets all day, every day, you can say “Goodbye” to ghost assets. As a result, you can save money or divert it elsewhere.

As you can see, it’s possible for you to save money while the cost of living rockets. All that you need to do is use itemit’s software and make use of its features. Saving money is more important now than ever. Businesses and individuals are looking for new ways to help cut the cost of living. itemit can help you with this.

itemit exists to make your life easier. The asset register software is here to help you to build an asset register and track your assets all day, every day. However, not everyone is aware of how to go about building an asset register. This article contains some tips that can help you to build a register so you can track every asset all of the time.

One of the first things you’ll need to do is to create an asset profile. Simply log into itemit’s menu and get started. As soon as you have created a profile you’ll be able to add multiple details about each asset. This will allow you to have a lot of important information to hand when you need it the most.

The next stage of the asset register creation process involves adding the relevant information. You can include information such as the asset’s name, serial number, brand, weight, colour, price at purchase, date of purchase, insurance and warranty details, and more. Users can even add a photograph of each asset, should they wish to. There’s also an option to add notes for future reference. 

Users can add as much or as little information as they please. The more information there is about each asset, the easier they will be to track. In addition to this, knowing you have easy access to an asset’s insurance details just makes sense. It can save a lot of time and effort if you can simply read the information you need and make a claim. 

Users can also communicate with those who also use itemit’s software. For example, you can leave notes for the maintenance team, should an issue arise. Alternatively, you can leave a note so that next time you use the asset you know how to make use of its functions. This is very convenient and just one of the reasons why businesses are signing up to use itemit.

As soon as information about each asset has been added, you can add a QR or barcode. It’s these codes that help you to track your asset’s location. 

Simply attach a QR or barcode to the asset in question and scan it. Once you have, you can assign the QR or barcode to a particular asset. It’s this that helps you to track the asset in question. In future, should you wish to see where the asset’s located, you can simply search for it in itemit’s menu. As soon as you’ve found the asset in the menu, simply click on it. When you do, you can see the asset’s last-known location. 

Attaching a QR or barcode to an asset can be useful in other ways. For example, should you come across an asset and you’re not sure it’s being used, scanning the code can tell you. Information such as the current user (if entered) or the asset’s maintenance history can be readily available. Having all of this information to hand on the asset register can be very helpful. For example, should something go wrong with an asset, users can see the asset’s history and who may have been using it. With this information, users can find out why the asset might not be working and book it in for repairs.

Should you wish to, you can export a report on some or all of your assets. The reports in question can contain as much or as little information as you please. Reports may come in handy when you wish to send your insurance company details of your assets, for example. Alternatively, it may simply be useful to see which assets you have and which are used the most. 

Reports do not have to be exported, however. Creating a report is very easy and it can help you to understand your business as a whole. For example, you could see how well your business is performing just by seeing how many assets you have. Alternatively, you could simply use the information to help you to understand the value of your business.

Thanks to the way that itemit’s software works, you too can build an asset register with ease. Our software is uncomplicated and easy to use. With the ability to help you create a register of your assets, you can use the software to your advantage.

1. QR Tags
2. RFID Tags
3. GPS Tags
4. itemit’s Asset Tags Solutions

Asset tags are designed to help organisations track the location of their assets and provide information on how those assets are behaving. With various options to choose from it can be difficult to work out which type of asset tag is the ideal solution for you and your team. Read on to discover what each type of asset tag has to offer.

You’re probably already familiar with QR codes in your daily life. They’ve become a common feature of modern transactions and are even popping up on advertisements and posters.  QR codes are similar to barcodes but have the capacity to hold much more information. Their 2D design consists of tiny black modules arranged in a square and can be scanned easily by a smartphone camera. This simple design makes QR codes quick and cheap to produce. Plus, this type of asset tag is the most durable and resilient one on the market. 

itemit offers both vinyl QR code stickers and anodised aluminium QR tags that come in various sizes, ranging from 15 to 23 millimetres. Our tags have been developed to be exceptionally durable, so if your tagged assets are going to be subject to extreme or hazardous conditions then this type of QR tag might be the right one for you.

There are two main types of RFID tags: passive and active.The tag power system defines which type of system it is.

Passive tags are small in size and rely on the tag reader for power and, as a result, have a transmission range of a few metres.They typically last around 20 years and are fairly cheap compared to active tags. Their small size also means they are able to fit into almost any package or product, making passive tags a great choice for tracking equipment, supply chain management, and access control. 

Active tags are typically larger in size than passive tags but usually no bigger than a smartphone. This type of tag incorporates a transmitter with a battery in a single unit. They have significant data memory and can transmit up to 2000 metres continuously or when activated by a reader’s radio signal. Their ability to cover great distances make them popular in the construction, mining, oil and gas industries. 

Although an active tag can communicate at a much longer range, a passive RFID tag is often still the preferred choice as it is significantly cheaper at the point of sale as well as longer term since passive tags do not require battery replacements. In most use cases, having a shorter read range is an advantage as you can be confident that the tagged item is right in front of you or the reader.

GPS asset tracking is a system that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track the location of assets in real-time. GPS tags are the most advanced on this list and enable companies to read and record locations in real-time, providing continuous information about an asset’s location. This type of tag is commonly used to track vehicles, trailers, containers, and other types of equipment. However, these detailed insights also make them more expensive than other types of tags.

itemit offers a range of asset tags so you can find the one to suit your needs, depending upon the nature of your industry and the conditions your assets are exposed. With itemit you can mix and match different asset tracking technologies, so you can use QR, RFID, and GPS tracking all from one system so you can choose the right type of tag for each asset. You can add various details on the tag including manufacturer’s information, maintenance dates and location details. However, the key to maximising rate of return on assets is to deploy asset tracking software.You can use the software to record and store information as well as run asset performance reports, allowing you to identify weak areas and work on them to boost equipment ROIs.

Asset managers are tasked with taking care of a business’s assets. However, asset managers can make mistakes from time to time. With the use of the right asset tracking software, asset managers avoid making mistakes. When mistakes are made it can prove to be quite costly. However, the right tracking software can help you to put an end to the mistakes. 

Below, you can find details of some of the most common mistakes asset managers make.

Not all asset managers take a sufficient amount of time to understand what’s on their inventory. As a result, it may not be clear what assets a business has. Without the correct information, businesses may not know just how many assets they have. In addition to this,  it isn’t possible to know just how well a business is performing.

With the right asset tracking software it’s possible to quickly and easily enter multiple pieces of information about each asset. When multiple pieces of information have been entered, asset managers have much more control. They can understand many different aspects of every asset. In addition to this, they can help to prolong the life of every single asset.

Additional information can be added to asset tracking software. Failing to understand the importance of such information can lead to wasted time. For example, when insurance details are not added, searching for them can take time. However, when the information is added to the software it can be retrieved quickly. 

Some of the information that can be added includes the asset’s:

• Name
• Model and make 
• Serial number
• Warranty details
• Insurance information 
• Date of purchase
• Price of purchase 
• Estimated value
• Estimated resale value 
• Maintenance schedule
• List of users 
• And so much more

When as much information is added about an asset as possible, it can save time. It also ensures that the much-needed information can be achieved as and when it’s required. There’s no need to go sorting through numerous files to find the information you need. As long as the required information has been added to itemit, it can be retrieved as and when it’s required.

Some asset tracking software allows users to track the location of their assets. This can prove to be very useful. When assets are tracked it’s possible to see the asset’s last-known location. Additionally, when assets are tracked it’s possible to see the maintenance status, the last users, and many other details. This just adds to the level of convenience. 

When asset managers do not track the location of their assets they miss out. Additionally, there is a chance that assets can be lost or stolen. When assets are tracked they offer an extra level of security. They are less likely to be lost or stolen and users feel more responsibility for them. 

Tracking assets is easy when the right software is used. This is where itemit can come in and help. Our asset tracking software can help asset managers to track their assets 24 hours a day.

When asset managers do not make use of maintenance reminders and schedules, they miss out. Assets are a lot less likely to be repaired as and when they’re required. In addition to this, there is always a chance that each asset does not undergo yearly maintenance. 

When asset managers use our asset tracking software they can set up maintenance reminders. The reminders can be set as and when required. As a result, the asset manager will receive a notification at the chosen time. This ensures that the assets in question are much more likely to be maintained. When assets are maintained they are less likely to break down. What this means is that assets can last longer. In turn, businesses may spend less money on replacement assets. Therefore, the funds can be transferred to other departments.

When asset managers fail to use itemit’s asset tracking software they miss out. itemit is full to the brim with a wide range of features. Thanks to the way that the software works, asset managers will have more control over their assets than ever before. 

Ultimately, this means that the business as a whole can run more smoothly. All assets can be accounted for, monitored, tracked, and maintained with ease. This is why more and more businesses are now signing up to make use of itemit’s features.
