What this means is that it’s highly likely your equipment will be returned to you. 

Your colleagues will be aware that everything is tracked. What this means for you in terms of security is that things may no longer go missing. When you can see where your equipment is and even who has it, your list of lost equipment becomes shorter. 

If something does go missing, all that you need to do is log into your software and see where it’s located. You may even be able to see who used the piece of equipment last. This may prove helpful when it comes to searching for that lost asset.
