How Bain & Company Gained Complete Asset Visibility with RFID and CRM Integration
Introduction
Customer Case: BAIN & COMPANY — RFID Asset Management
Bain & Company, a leading global management consulting firm founded in 1973, needed a modern approach to tracking IT equipment, tools, lighting, and other assets across their offices. Through tag8's RFID-powered asset tracking solution integrated with SmartX HUB technology, Bain achieved complete visibility with CRM-driven work order management.
The Challenge
Without a system to track and monitor assets, knowing their location, condition, usage, and ownership was difficult — leading to asset loss, theft, misplacement, and duplication. Without automation, performing and documenting asset operations manually consumed significant time and effort.
The Solution
The Solution
- RFID tracking of IT equipment, tools, lighting, and office assets.
- Full CRM integration creating automated Work Orders for project managers.
- Distributed deployment and collection of assets at customer sites.
- 3,000 assets tracked with RFID tags across 2 floors.
- 2 RFID handhelds for rapid scanning operations.
Implementation and Results
The implementation of SmartX HUB delivered measurable, transformative results for this company:
- Elimination of human errors through automated data entry and verification.
- Granular, precise location data on every asset’s movement.
- Automatic anomaly detection for inventory discrepancies.
- Enhanced real-time visibility improves efficiency and stocking accuracy.
Conclusion
Bain & Company's deployment shows that even consulting firms with distributed, dynamic asset needs benefit from RFID-powered tracking. With CRM integration automating work orders and RFID providing real-time visibility, asset management becomes effortless.
