Tracking fixed assets sounds so simple, but actually, it’s not. Staying up to date on an asset's location, current condition, purchasing history and depreciation is a challenging job for managers, supervisors and especially those who handle fixed asset management from multiple locations. This blog will introduce a mobile-first fixed asset tracking system and detail how it can help companies like yours better monitor fixed asset management at each step of the process.
Fixed Asset Tracking Challenges
If you don't know the exact number and types of assets you own and their working condition, you may end up buying them twice. While many assets remain in good condition for a long time (up to several years), others become obsolete within a short period. If you neglect fixed asset tracking and maintenance, their value decreases and you potentially overpay on insurance and taxes.
Believe it or not, many organizations still use manual, inaccurate, and time-consuming processes such as spreadsheets, logbooks, or worse, while tracking fixed assets. These tedious manual processes may cost organizations thousands of dollars in replacement, reordering, repair, paying fines, and lost productivity. Beyond the costs, these processes negatively impact the organization's products and services and result in decreased customer satisfaction.
Mobilize Fixed Asset Tracking Intelligence
Fortunately, there are easy to use intelligent technologies that can help. Replacing antiquated manual fixed asset tracking with modern solutions and systems enabled with smart technology drastically reduces the costs associated and helps maintain higher accuracy at your year-end financial statements. By simplifying fixed asset tracking with modern technology, organizations can improve an asset's lifespan, minimize equipment unexpected failures and downtime, and control ghost assets.
It's critical for enterprises in asset-intensive industries to have easy and real-time access to information on their fixed assets to determine the useful life of assets – which are worth keeping and which are costing them more than they're worth. If you are looking to upgrade your fixed asset management tool's capabilities, you will need to ensure the technology is compatible with your existing applications.
