The Invisible Drain on Your Business

Where's that laptop you bought last year? Who has the company drill? When was that vehicle last serviced?

If you can't answer these questions instantly, you're losing money. Estimates suggest businesses lose 10-15% of their asset value annually to theft, misplacement, and poor maintenance.

For a company with $500K in equipment, that's $50-75K in preventable losses.

What Is Asset Tracking?

Asset tracking is knowing:

  • What you own (complete inventory)
  • Where it is (location tracking)
  • Who has it (assignment and accountability)
  • What condition it's in (maintenance history)
  • What it's worth (depreciation and value)

Tracking Technologies

QR Codes / Barcodes

Simple and affordable. Scan to check in/out or update status. Best for: Tools, equipment, stationary assets.

RFID

Radio frequency identification. Can scan multiple items at once without line of sight. Best for: High-volume inventory, warehouses, bulk check-in/out.

GPS

Real-time location tracking. Best for: Vehicles, mobile equipment, high-value assets in the field.

Bluetooth/BLE

Short-range tracking. Best for: Indoor tracking, finding items within a facility.

Essential Features of Good Asset Software

  1. Complete Asset Database: All equipment in one place with photos, specs, and purchase info
  2. Check In/Out System: Track who has what, with digital signatures
  3. Maintenance Scheduling: Automatic alerts for service due dates
  4. Depreciation Tracking: Know your true asset values for tax and insurance
  5. Reporting: Usage patterns, maintenance costs, loss rates
  6. Mobile Access: Field workers can update status from anywhere

Auditing Your Current Assets

Before implementing software, do a physical inventory:

  1. Walk through every location
  2. Photograph and tag every asset
  3. Record serial numbers, purchase dates, conditions
  4. Identify what's missing, damaged, or obsolete
  5. Calculate replacement values

This audit often pays for itself by finding forgotten equipment or identifying theft.
