What Is PPE Tracking Software?

What Is Asset Tracking Software?

Asset tracking software is a system where you’ll be able to log unique assets and add data to their profiles. In other ways, each piece of equipment will have its own profile on your asset management system.

Then, on each assets’ profile, you’ll be able to add crucial information. This will include usage and bookings data, but will also include safety information, such as manuals or a mark to verify that the PPE has been approved.

You’ll be able to use asset tags to monitor your equipment’s movements and usage, as well as speed up the process of changing and updating any crucial information.

All you need to do is tag the asset to link it to its corresponding asset profile on your asset tracking software. Then, you’ll be able to scan the asset’s tag in your asset management app to retrieve the profile, as well as update the last seen location.

How You Can Use PPE Tracking Software

PPE tracking software can be used to monitor asset changes and usage statistics. This way, if your PPE needs to be cleaned or disposed of regularly, you can use an asset management system to keep up with and track these changes.

If you’ve received a new batch of PPE, you can log it onto your system when you’re sorting it, marking which PPE is approved and which is not. itemit is already being used for this to track PPE related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For example, you’ll be able to assign assets to contacts and users to keep a clear visual flow of your equipment.

Overall, PPE tracking becomes more transparent and ensures the safety of your colleagues, as you’ll be able to fill any gaps before they occur while keeping track of asset usage.
