The universal theme for buying or selling real estate is: location, location, location. It’s much the same way with asset tracking, too. But I’d also add details, details, details.

When entering information into your asset tracking software (ATS), the more the better. Make sure to supply a complete location, and sub-location, list to ATS even if the assets are currently not there. This will help your handheld users be more accurate with respect to location.

Also, when entering information into your ATS, make sure to add specific details to location. For instance, it will be much easier to find an asset in, say, “Room 203” than it would be if it was listed on the “Second Floor.” Our asset tracking software includes up to eight location nodes. You can nail locations down to the country, state, city, building, floor, sector, room, warehouse, stock room, etc. For more information, check out www.cg4.com.
