Keeping accurate, up-to-date information on asset status and location is a tough chore for organization of all sizes. Fixed asset tagging offers a cost-efficient, easy-to-implement way to determine, enter and update asset information to ensure financial records are current and correct at all times.
The Enterprise Fixed Asset Tracking Challenge
Managing and tracking fixed assets is an imperative for each and every enterprise, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Although the importance of this topic is very well understood by companies’ financial experts, controllers and executives, large companies have struggled with traditional processes and expensive software to track and reconcile their physical assets to retrieve up-to-date information on their current location and their current state of operation on a periodic basis.
The problem with not properly maintaining records of fixed assets and where they are located, is that there is no information by which to check that all assets are still in place months or years later. Moreover the problem becomes much more complex in business scenarios where these assets constantly move across locations and business partners. This lack of asset knowledge can make an organization vulnerable to unaccounted for asset disappearance. If it is known that no measures are in place to track the company’s property, what is there to prevent or recognize theft?
Take Preventive Measures before your Next Theft Occurs
An enterprise can take preventative measures to protect its investments by implementing a mobile fixed asset tagging and reconciliation solution. Simple and cost effective mobile solutions integrated to your SAP or ERP system can track fixed assets along with barcode tracking tools, which then later make physical audits faster and more accurate. The practice of tracking assets and conducting periodic physical audits can help better manage an asset register and recognize theft. It also has the added benefit of helping to notice shrinkage, deterioration, misuse or loss of assets.
