Accurate Asset Tracking Boosts Small Business Profits And Productivity

By Wasp Barcode

Going out of town for a series of sales meetings, a manager spends an hour tracking down who last used the company's most powerful notebook computer. Alerted to an impending audit, a business owner and accounting manager lose three days verifying and updating the firm's software license records. Asked to provide a report of all the organization's computers and office equipment, an IT manager spends a week scrambling to try and create an accurate accounting.

Combine the hours lost updating the inventory of office equipment and the days an audit can swallow, and it becomes all-too apparent that locating misplaced items quickly erodes a small business' productivity, resources and profitability.
