For any company, no matter how large or small, buying new equipment doesn’t end after the purchase. In fact, the list of obligations will have just begun which is why a SharePoint / Office 365 Equipment Tracking system can really pay off especailly if you are already running Microsoft Office On-Premise or 365 Online.
First, though, what kind of equipment are we talking about? Depending on your industry, the list can be quite varied:
All of these have unique requirements: some are non-mobile and must be maintained on-site, some are portable and usage may need to be monitored, while all likely require both preventive & ad-hoc maintenance. Of course each item also has its own financial history: costs, depreciation, procurement history, warranties, and so on.
Procurement and Asset Management Departments may have the best intentions, but keeping track of a myriad of equipment-related details requires a robust and comprehensive software solution.
Crow Canyon’s SharePoint & Office 365 Equipment Tracking solution provides a holistic picture of exactly what’s going on with your equipment. Our intuitive dashboard interfaces convey critical snapshot data of your equipment so that you can quickly discern key information, such as a breakdown of your assets by category, by vendor, by status, by type, by department, and by location. Like all interfaces, what you see is 100% configurable and can be customized according to your own specifications.
Key features include:
Drilling-down on specific items reveals a wealth of detailed information, such as identification/serial/barcode numbers, type, category, current status, make, and model. The equipment’s history is also displayed, providing you with at-a-glance data about what’s been going on with your items.
A typical item history may display:
Additional sub-tabs in the SharePoint & Office 365 Equipment Tracking interface provide you with the option to drill down even further into specific aspects of the item. For example, Check In/Check Out sub-tab in the graphic below displays detailed historical data about who has used the item, when it was returned, when it will be returned, and who is ultimately responsible for the item.
Our Facilities Management work order system empowers your organization to take Equipment Tracking to the next level by adding a range of preventive maintenance features for your equipment management needs.
The solution, which integrates fully with the Equipment Tracking system, boosts your range of equipment management features by introducing the following functionality:
Managing your company’s equipment is an ongoing process that requires a significant number of resources. As organizations grow it is easy to lose track of your assets, resulting in increased costs, mistakes, lost documents, and missed opportunities (e.g., expired warranties, lapsed service maintenance, and reactive policies). Proactively managing your equipment is critical to keeping down costs and boosting your bottom line. A comprehensive equipment tracking and service request management system can make all the difference in your company’s approach to asset management.
