Asset tracking is essential to companies who have IT equipment, valuable goods and hardware. These assets generally require significant capital investment and extensive maintenance cost to your business.
Asset tags are primarily for managing and reconciling ownership of the company’s asset as well as recording the location of the asset. Asset tags can be attached to both fixed assets and movable assets - these are items that hold value for the company. Asset tags can also help you track the life of the asset, this is useful to know when the asset will need to need to serviced or replaced and will help prevent major equipment downtime.
Asset tagging also addresses issues that many companies may experience such as;
- Theft of assets: Theft is a huge cost risk to businesses, and asset tagging will help identify any assets that have gone missing.
- Unauthorised moving of assets: It may be that an asset gets moved from one location to another by mistake; for example, if someone switches PCs in the office.
- Ensuring that the right asset is removed and/or repaired: You may find yourself with two assets that look the same and have identical item barcodes, but one asset is of greater worth to your company than another, so it is important remove or repair the correct asset – asset tags will help you identify which asset is which.
Here at Label Source we provide many different asset tags:
The barcode asset tag is a secure, low cost way to report the asset to the inventory or your company’s asset database.
Serial number asset tags are useful if you want to have a unique serial number on your assets, to prevent issues such as the removal of the wrong asset.
Tamper-proof asset tags are used as security tags as these leave a “void” pattern on the tag should the asset be stolen or removed.
