What is Asset Management Software and what are the benifits?
Asset management software should be simple to use on a variety of operating systems, both at PC and network level, with fast data entry, and instant status reports.
Many business users may have ‘spread sheet’ based property registers, or could create them for such purposes. To be worthy of consideration, any asset management software should be capable of providing most of the following:
- hold multiple products (databases) in the same program, and be networkable.
- Display default common asset description fields for fast data input and easily customised views.
- Integrate with RFID and/or barcode scanners
- Contain in-built depreciation routines for assessing financial year values.
- Track the change history for every field belonging to an asset
- Allow sorting and filtering via simple mouse clicks
- Allow simple import and export to other programs
- Have in-built security and self build lists from existing data to save typing when adding new asset details
The benifits of Asset Management software should include:
- Easy input from labels, micro chips, databases barcode readers and PDA's
- Audit and Booking
- Live, missing and dispossed items
- Printed reports
- Export to XL spreadsheets and PDA's
- Movement tracking
- Book value depreciation
- Values and sums insured
- Asset history, maintenance
