FMIS discuss the three keys to finding the right asset tracking software and how it can benefit your business. Three Keys to Finding the Right Asset Tracking Software.
Maintaining visibility over the location, status, and history of assets is essential for all asset-heavy businesses.
This leads to the question: how do you identify the right asset tracking software for your needs?
Scope
What features do you need?
The first thing to consider is the scope of the software you need.
Asset tracking is just one element of asset management, alongside maintenance and accounting.
Scale
Does the software match the scale of your project?
Systems
What type of implementation do you need, and how will the software fit into your business?
A key aspect of this is the decision around cloud-based SaaS or on-premises implementation. Here’s a closer look at the pros and cons of both.
Cloud-based software
Simple, secure, and easily scalable, cloud-based asset tracking is ideal for smaller organisations with less complex asset management needs. Cloud-based options are quick and easy to set up, causing minimal disruption to business operations.
On-premises software
Benefits of on-premises software include greater control over the solution and less dependence on an external vendor and their hosting. Plus, hosting it in on-premises servers can offer peace of mind about data security.
