Asset Management.
Definition.
Asset management systems track specific individual items, usually
identified with a UIC or unique identification code. In most
cases the UIC is encoded either in bar code format on an asset
identification label, or by means of an RFID tag. Hand held
devices are used to perform audits, or to track movement of
items. The systems generally include detailed reporting
functionality, and can exchange information with back end systems.

Linkages.
Many linkages are possible, but most systems rely on linking people,
places and things - each asset is identified as being in a specific
physical location, and the responsibility of a specific individual.
Receiving.
Systems track the original receipt of an item, and a clone function
simplifies data entry, which can be done on a desktop or mobile unit.
Audit.
Audits can be completed quickly, easily and accurately. The
use of bar coded asset identification labels and hand held readers
means that an asset can be audited in less than a second.
Because locations can be identified in a similar fashion, mistakes are
reduced.
Because all transactions are timestamped, and data entry is automated,
(through the use of bar codes and scanners), data integrity is
high. Users will have a great deal of faith in the accuracy
of the final reports.
Disposal.
Disposal is tracked by the system, is fast, and is accurate.
Specific notes can be attached, or standard client documentation can be
easily integrated into the system.
Maintenance.
Maintenance can be tracked by the system, maintaining an accurate
historical record. Again, bar codes guarantee accuracy, and
guard against abuse. A planned maintenance function can
enable future activities to be planned.
Available packages.
Options range from the very basic, for small organisations with limited
needs, to fully comprehensive enterprise wide systems. Click
