Track it

Article Abstract:

Companies are spending as much as 20% more than they should because their assets are underutilized, inefficiently maintained and/or stolen. In 1993 alone, UK businesses lost assets estimated to be worth around 10 billion pounds sterling to petty theft. Such losses and overspending can be avoided through effective management and tracking of company resources and assets. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of asset management systems that are available in the market. One of these is the barcode technology which is now increasingly used to streamline and accelerate asset tracking activities in sectors outside the retail industry. Aside from barcoding, many asset management packages offer automation of data collection, collation and reporting.
