Have you ever been in a situation where the local castle dweller has been running amok and you need to locate your torch and pitchfork but just can’t find them? Ever been face to face with a bloodthirsty vampire and found out your garlic wasn’t audited correctly and is a ghost asset, so to speak? Ever miscounted your silver bullet inventory and come up short on the night of a full moon?
Fret not, itemit has the solution. Vampires, werewolves, monsters are just some of the ghouls itemit can help you slay, not least any ghost and zombie assets plaguing your fixed asset register.
So, how can you track your spooky assets with itemit’s asset management system?
Location Tracking with itemit
itemit’s asset tracking software gives you access to many features and functions. Primarily, you can add a list of everything you own, from your favourite vampire-slaying boots, to your favourite chainsaw (depending on the side you’ve chosen). Then, you can track where these assets have been seen.
The quickest way to track assets is using asset tags, QR codes or barcodes, which can be affixed to your assets with ease (no ectoplasm necessary!). Asset tags come in many shapes and sizes and are completely customisable, meaning you can get ones so shiny that even a vampire would see their reflection, or ones so subtle that any ghost would be jealous of how well they blend in.
Then, you can simply scan these tags using the itemit app and, as if by (black) magic, the asset’s last seen location will update, giving you a permanent record of where your assets have been seen.
Auditing, and Busting Ghost Assets
Every time you scan an asset’s tag, its last seen location will update alongside the time of the scan, the date, and the acolyte who scanned the tag. This means you can pull off handy reports of which assets have been seen in the previous 28 days, 28 weeks(, or 28 months).
Not only this, but you can also use itemit’s dedicated audit feature to blast ghost assets and run a speedy stock-check. It works better than any of the other ghost-busting equipment on the market, and you won’t need to worry about crossing the streams because all of your colleagues can use itemit at the same time to contribute to your asset tracking effort!
Decentralise your asset tracking and raise an army to do your dark bidding (which, of course, is filling in any potential gaps in your audit trail before they happen).
Our ghost-busting doesn’t go unrewarded, either, as itemit has won awards for innovation, high ratings, and industry leading software. We’re not full moon-lighting when we put time and care into our system!
Sending Zombie Assets to the Grave
itemit also gives you visibility over maintenance, asset information, depreciation data, and more, and lets you pull off custom reports via pdf or excel export. You can also import existing information, so you’ll be able to exorcise your existing spreadsheets and import them straight into itemit.
With this levels of visibility, it’s easy to see when an asset is at risk of turning into a zombie or a ghost. You’ll be able to scan the asset’s tag to verify it has the correct information associated with it and cure the zombie plague on your records.
When you notice something is wrong with your asset register, it can cause a night of the living dread, so fear not, using itemit can help you keep things clean, tight, and under control with all of these easy-to-use features.
Know what you own, anywhere in the world
itemit’s asset management system is fully cloud-based, meaning you can update your information from anywhere in the world or monitor it remotely. Colleague headed to Transylvania? Monitor that all of your stakes are up to date. Wondering where your mask (we’re talking about PPE, of course) was last? Check the asset’s last seen location to retrieve it. Need to stock check your brooms and black cats? Run an audit.
Rest easy knowing that your asset tracking software is handling everything, even on this hallowed eve.
