What is Asset Management?

Asset Management in short 

We define asset management as a system of managing, organising, and maximising value from company objects or valuables. Asset management takes place across all company departments from management, to accountants and engineers and operators.  

When properly deployed, asset management helps stakeholders, decision makers, and employees predict and oversee the life cycle of an asset.  
 

What can Asset Management do: 

• Gain overview of all valuable assets  
• Schedule maintenance 
• Locate assets  
• Managing inventory  
• Plan upcoming purchase 
• Document invoicing 
• Improving compliance 
   

3 steps why Asset Management is Important? 

1.  Keep track of all valuable assets 

Both managers and employees will know where the assets are located, how they are being used, and the recovery of tools can be done more efficiently within a live map.  

2. Helps identify and manage risks 

Asset management through an equipment control service will help identify and manage risk arising from use and plan for maintenance. This means that a company will always be prepared to act on potential risks. 

3. Removes ghost assets in the company’s inventory 

Ghost assets are any valuables that is lost, stolen, or not being used but is still shown as active on your lists. With a digital tracker you will gain control even of your ghost inventory.
