Saving money and bypassing budget issues
When constructions have an asset management system in place that’s not manual, it will help save money in a variety of ways, including paying employees for multiple hours of manual tracking as well as helping to keep the budget predictable and steady.
Tracking down stolen, lost, or missing assets
It can be impossible to find assets which have been lost, stolen, or are simply missing (known as ghost assets). With robust asset software, educational institutions can track these items down and ensure they’re accounted for within the database.
Enforcing accountability for anyone who touches assets
Many times, manual asset tracking means someone forgets to mark down who last used or touched an asset, which means that a person can’t be held accountable should something go wrong. This situation is significantly reduced when everyone is required to properly track and record their asset usage in the asset tracking system.
Keeping everything in a centralized database accessible by as many users as needed
With manual asset tracking, contractors and staff must usually be able to access the job sites’ local network to edit their asset spreadsheets. But a cloud-based platform means as many of these professionals as a school needs can keep track of assets from wherever they are, whenever they need to.
