What Is an Equipment Tracking System?

An equipment tracking system is a cloud-based asset management solution for businesses to monitor and track their tangible assets from a centralized platform. It helps collect real-time data about their physical assets, get visibility into their location, utilization, and maintenance history, and generate audit trails using reporting functionality. An equipment/asset tracking system uses identifiers such as barcodes, RFID tags, etc., for tracking assets.

How Do I Track Small Equipment?

If you own a business that uses many small tools and equipment, like a construction business, you can conveniently track your equipment by creating and assigning QR code tags and barcode tags. QR codes and barcodes can be easily scanned using your phone camera's built-in scanner, enabling you to quickly read crucial asset data. Install RedBeam's app to further simplify the process.

Why Should I Track My Equipment?

Using asset management software like RedBeam helps track your company's valuable assets, big or small, and protect them from theft. When you track equipment using an asset management system and maintain up-to-date records for all your assets, your employees, especially those spread across different sites, will be more accountable if anything is broken or lost.

What Does Asset Tracking Software Do?

An asset-tracking software tool is a digital alternative to manual tracking methods that helps users track and manage physical assets with real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities. It offers increased visibility into an asset's location, utilization, and condition, helping consolidate asset information into a single platform. It is widely used for tracking equipment inventory and movable assets across various industries.

What Are the Essential Parts of an Asset Management Program?

An effective asset management program is founded on a dual-benefit strategy. First, it should involve the use of a potent asset tracking solution that allows you to scan equipment—be it manually operated or electric-powered equipment, small or heavy equipment—and record quality information about each asset. Second, it should include up-to-the-minute reporting to generate detailed reports to monitor the entire lifecycle of your assets. RedBeam offers a robust equipment tracking solution that features robust reporting capabilities and a user-friendly interface that can be accessed by unlimited users at a time to allow seamless asset data updating and editing.

Can I Use ReadBeam to Audit My Assets?
