itemit is equipped with a host of helpful features to make sure you know where your equipment is and what it is doing. Equipment tracking can benefit a range of different industries, including construction, manufacturing, IT, healthcare, hospitality, education among many more! If your business or organisation relies on the fluid movement of assets then equipment tracking can help you.

What is Equipment Tracking?

Equipment tracking is a way of keeping a record of everything a business owns. As pieces of equipment are physical objects they are known as tangible assets, this includes:

• Appliances
• Computers
• HVAC equipment
• IT equipment
• Lights
• Production equipment
• Furniture
• Copiers and printers
• Safety equipment
• Signs

You can attach physical asset tags or barcodes to these, allowing them to be easily tracked. Each time the barcode or tag is scanned, the location of the asset is automatically updated in the online asset register. The type of tag you choose depends on the application but they all achieve the same outcome: letting you know where your asset is and how it’s behaving. Asset tracking software provides a centralised platform that keeps  all the relevant information about your assets, such as location, contact information, owner, and maintenance history, in one place.

The Benefits of Equipment Tracking

Equipment tracking helps to protect your valuable assets. There are numerous benefits to knowing where your assets are and what they are doing. First and foremost, keeping up-to-date profiles of your assets helps to prevent asset downtime whether this is due to theft, loss, or maintenance issues. Tagging and tracking your equipment also gives you greater clarity on expenditures, financial audits, and inventory management. This reduces the risk of inaccurate data records and subsequent accounting and auditing problems. By keeping accurate records of all your assets you might also experience insurance benefits. If you can document that your equipment is being used responsibly, you may receive lower insurance costs.
