itemit’s asset register software offers users the chance to track all of their assets. This software works in such a way that businesses and organisations know where all of their assets are, all of the time.
Local councils can potentially benefit from having an asset register as most administrative bodies have numerous assets. These can include:
- Lands and Buildings
- Community Assets such as instruments for schools to use
- Vehicles, plants, and machinery
- And anything that has some significance to the local community
The right asset register software can monitor assets in a range of ways. Here’s how:
Using QR Codes
When a business, organisation, or council signs up to itemit, they can order itemit's QR tags. These tags help councils to track all of their assets. Users fix the QR tag, for example, to the asset in question and input a few details. These details will be entered into itemit’s system, and help users to track each asset.
Whenever the asset in question is selected via the software, the asset’s last-known location will be shown and updated using your devices GPS. This allows users to know exactly where the asset is at all times. Having this knowledge can be hugely beneficial to local councils. They can see where each of their assets are and retrieve them, should they need to.
The ability to retrieve assets means that ghost assets can be a thing of the past. Ghost assets are assets that have been lost, stolen, or damaged, but are still accounted for. When a local council has fewer ghost assets it means that they’re more likely to have the equipment they need.
Maintaining Equipment
All local councils have a lot of equipment. From tools to machinery, computers to vehicles, councils have more equipment than people realise. From time to time, equipment can be susceptible to wear and tear. In addition to this, equipment can become damaged.
It’s important that local councils have the equipment they need so they can complete much-needed tasks. However, if equipment is damaged, it will need to be repaired. However, having equipment repaired is not always easy. The good news is that itemit can help.
When the right asset software is used, maintaining and repairing equipment becomes easier. Users can leave a note in the equipment’s menu detailing any issues and asking for repairs to be carried out. The maintenance team will receive a notification and they can schedule repairs.
The maintenance feature means that all equipment can be repaired as and when is needed. In addition to this, regular maintenance schedules can be set up. This allows for all equipment to undergo regular testing and inspection. What this means for local councils is that they will always have equipment, tools, and machinery that is in good working order.
