Capturing hardware asset tag details and tracking – especially using barcoding – is typically regarded as a mandatory activity by auditors looking at capital asset treatment and is very useful in:   • • • linking assets across procurement, finance and IT operations processes ; automating repetitive processes such as MADC (Move, Add, Deletion & Change) and ; reducing human errors ;   Asset tagging also acts as a method for reconciliation of invoice to goods receipt to disposal, creating a ‘stock pool’ as new items arrive and are scanned into the repository or CMDB and old items are disposed and are scanned out of the repository. Based on experience we recommend that our clients examine asset tagging more holistically, considering the use of barcodes and readers to increase MADC process automation where possible and practical. The infrastructure required is not expensive and only requires ruggedised PDA readers with lasers embedded, simple PDA based workflow which is user definable and wireless communication from the readers back to a simple staging database. So whether you are looking for basic self-adhesive or RFID enabled tags and/or readers we can find the most cost effective solution to your asset tagging & barcoding needs.
