Many companies are now realising the importance of tagging all the assets they own. Expensive items such as laptop computers, clothing, tools and other sensitive equipment can all be tagged with a unique tracking code so that it can be found at a moment’s notice.
There are many benefits of using asset tags, some of them are detailed below.
Proof of ownership
Many insurance companies will ask you to provide proof of ownership if you were to make a claim for missing or stolen items. Asset tagging is a great way to provide proof of ownership.
Tracking similar items
Many items used in business are similar or the same. The only way then of identifying between them is to individually tag them with a number or a barcode so they can all be identified.
Recognising equipment
If you fix asset tags on all the items you own you won’t have a problem recognising your own goods.
Rental equipment
Companies who hire equipment on a daily basis need some way of identifying their equipment. And asset tagging this equipment is a great way to do this.
Electrical checks
If items in your business need to be checked for electrical safety from time to time, a great way to distinguish between these items and collate a record of when the item was last tested is to use asset tags.
