Learn How to Better Keep Track of the Fixed Assets You Use to Run Your Organization Every Day
Tracking fixed assets is an important concern of every company, regardless of size. Fixed assets are defined as any ‘permanent’ object that a business uses internally including but not limited to computers, tools, software, or office equipment. Without an accurate method of keeping track of these assets it would be very easy for you to lose control of them.
If you’re like most companies, you probably started tracking your fixed assets in a spreadsheet years ago, when your company was much smaller and had far fewer fixed assets. And now, as the spreadsheets have grown in size and number, you face significant challenges to track the location, quantity, condition, maintenance and depreciation status of all these fixed assets.
At this point, many companies turn to fixed asset tracking software.
Fixed asset tracking software allows companies to track what assets it owns, where each is located, who has it, when it was checked out, when it is due for return, when it is scheduled for maintenance, and the cost and depreciation of each asset.
Fixed asset tracking software is often used to track both information about an asset for financial reporting purposes as well as the physical location of an asset.
