The Benefits Of Fixed Asset Register Software

Overall, great fixed asset register software saves your business time and money by:

• Improving asset-level operations
• Speeding up asset discovery
• Reducing the chance of ghost and zombie assets
• Reducing lost assets and duplicate assets
• Assisting in business decisions

Your inventory will need to be tracked in bulk and granular data isn’t needed, where you need to know specifics, such as location, with your fixed assets.

So, your fixed assets will be assets such as laptops, phones, furniture, equipment and tools to name a few examples. To create an accurate view of your asset register, these will all need to be added to your fixed asset register software as unique, digital profiles.

This way, you’ll be able to add and pinpoint asset-specific data, such as maintenance data and bookings information. A spreadsheet isn’t the best way to do this, either, as the data you need will be in one cell of many, where fixed asset register software gives you a cleaner view through the use of asset profiles.

Fixed asset tags are physical tags that you stick onto your assets. They contain a unique code that you can link to your assets by scanning their tags.

Every time you scan an asset, the last seen location, the user who scanned the tag and the time of the scan also gets logged, meaning you get a full audit trail and can pinpoint where and when issues were reported.

Being able to view what you own is critical, too. Ghost and zombie assets can cause fines, a lack of accountability, and a breakdown in your asset tracking efforts and so an up to date register mitigates this. Asset losses and duplicate purchases are also reduced in the process.

Fixed asset tags and fixed asset register software features also save you time, helping you deliver projects on time and under budget. Fixed asset tags open up bulk actions, such as full audits of which assets are in which locations and the ability to bulk book out assets to yourself or your colleagues.

All of your day to day asset tracking operations and edits are pulled into a reporting page automatically. You can use this to filter and report on specific data, such as maintenance information, or you can export this as a pdf or excel sheet to create a snapshot fixed asset register, ready for tax, insurance, and accounting purposes.

itemit’s system is highly scalable and highly customisable, meaning you’ll be able to share the system with your colleagues and reduce the asset tracking load.

As all of your data gets pulled into your reports automatically, it’s very easy to keep up to date on your audits and asset information. Then, you can run streamlined, simple, and customisable reports on all of this data, finding everything you need to know in an instant.
