How Motherson Reduced Physical Asset Reconciliation Time by 75% with Smart Tracking
Introduction
Customer Case: MOTHERSON — Manufacturing & Office Asset Management (tag8 Partner)
Motherson, a global leader in automotive components and engineering solutions, manages over 5,000 industrial and office assets across 14 site locations in India and Bangladesh. Moving away from clipboard-and-spreadsheet-based management, Motherson deployed tag8's Smart Asset Platform to achieve real-time visibility and operational efficiency at scale.
The Challenge
Motherson's industrial and office assets represent one of their biggest investments, and proper location, maintenance, and lifecycle management are critical for maximum ROI. The previous manual approach — using spreadsheets and physical checks — created delays in reconciliation, errors in data, and difficulty locating misplaced assets across distributed sites.
The Solution
- 5,000+ assets tracked with QR and NFC tags across 14 locations.
- Smart mobile phone scanners and checkout terminals for fast, easy scanning.
- Batch asset management — add, transfer, and assign assets in batches for faster processing.
- Visual analytics and map views for real-time operational insights.
- Bi-directional synchronization keeping mobile devices updated in real time.
- Instant asset assignment via NFC, barcode scan, or name search.
Implementation and Results
The implementation of SmartX HUB delivered measurable, transformative results for this company:
- 75%+ reduction in physical asset reconciliation time — from 12-15 weeks down to 3 weeks.
- 60% reduction in tagging and onboarding time using mobile app and pre-printed dynamic tags.
- Daily stock-take capability with lost-and-found tracking.
- Real-time bi-directional sync across all mobile devices.
- Instant asset assignment with a swipe of a finger.
Conclusion
Motherson's 75% reduction in reconciliation time is a benchmark result for manufacturing asset management. By replacing clipboards with smart tracking, the company improved operational efficiency while keeping cost and service as top priorities.
