Benefits of Collaborating with Vendors Using Asset Tracking Software

Posted on August 15, 2017 by admin

asset tracking software The best strategy for a business to obtain a greater return on investment (ROI) is to manage its affairs to create workflow efficiencies and economies of scale. Most businesses often fail to realize that their vendors (a.k.a suppliers) play a critical role towards their success in the market and ultimately profit maximization.

Inadequate vendor management practices can hinder your work routines by slowing down productivity and creating inefficiencies. For instance, a business does not possess a uniform record about the types of assets purchased from different vendors. Trying to find a solution to this situation will lead to wastage of resources. Vendor management through manual spreadsheet records does not suffice to business needs of today, as it lacks accessibility and automation.

How to Tackle Poor Inventory Management using Asset Tracking Software

Posted on July 18, 2017 by admin

Profitability and good inventory management are connected. Good inventory management boils down to accountability. Using a robust asset tracking software, you need to account for what’s coming into and out of your inventory. A study by the Gartner Group has shown that 70% of all businesses have ineffective inventory management systems in place, to the extent that the difference between their actual and projected inventory can be as large as 30%!

For the majority of businesses, inventory is a major asset, but if inventory is mismanaged it can create endless problems such as inconsistent high or low stock levels, miscommunication between warehouses and delays in fulfillment. It’s important to protect your business from poor inventory management. Unfortunately, many wholesalers rely on employees to manually monitor and react to changes in inventory. This approach exposes a business to errors and increases the risk that can impact its reputation. In order to be effective, asset management solutions, therefore, need to not only manage assets but to find a way to make your assets part of a larger managerial ecosystem.
