• What features should I look for in an asset management solution?

  Asset management solutions help manage and track financial, physical, and digital assets. The visibility provided by these tools simplifies asset management activities and eases the associated decision-making. Before looking for a solution, note all your business’ unique needs, so you can ensure they’re met with the right solution.

  Some features to look for may include:

  • Asset tracking: Real-time visibility into your entire asset portfolio, without limitations or caps.
  • Usability: Users should be able to perform their duties easily with a straightforward UI design that’s mobile-friendly, responsive, and Cloud-based.
  • Compatibility: Your solution of choice should be compatible with other software and equipment that your business already uses.
  • Scalability: The right solution will be able to scale and grow as your business does.
  • Permissions and security: It’s ideal to set up role-based permissions, restricting access to only those who need it, and how and when they need it.
  • Customizable fields: You should be able to change the names of fields to accommodate your business’ unique assets.
  • Reporting: Creating customizable reports allows you to see the most important data quickly, how and when you choose.
  • Technical support: The ability to reach out for support and receive quick, quality service is vital to implementing and using a new solution.

  Be sure to test or demo an asset management solution before making a final decision to ensure it has all the features that are most important for your business’ operations.
