What is asset tagging?

Asset tagging is the practice of attaching tags to assets in order to distinguish them individually and keep track of data as it travels from real-time location through to maintenance history. As the name implies, it entails correctly assigning tags to collect data about a company’s physical assets. These tags can be applied to both fixed and mobile assets located at various sites and warehouses. Asset management software then enables a comprehensive view of everything owned.

Why asset tagging?

Asset tagging protocols are critical for companies that rely heavily on their assets to generate income. By tagging and labeling assets you can collect a variety of information and store it in a digital asset register. Tags and labels ensure assets are accounted for at all times, and making that information accessible reduces the danger of losing critical resources like spare parts, tools, or stock.

In a workplace full of movable assets spread across several sites, manually looking for a specific object is time-consuming. Tag each item, and you can instantly discover and identify any asset that has been tagged.

The procedure also minimizes the expense of replacing lost or stolen equipment, especially when done digitally. Construction businesses alone lose an estimated $1 billion each year through a lack of asset visibility.

In addition, asset reporting lets you link new assets into your existing asset management system. An asset report can be sent out daily, weekly, or monthly, and works as a tracking tool for every PC delivered in the previous period.

From factory to desk

The simplest way to track your hardware assets is to label them physically during manufacture. A label is printed as the system progresses through the manufacturing process, capturing the information relevant to that particular system. We can also write a 10-character alphanumeric customer asset number into the system BIOS, so your system management software can remotely interrogate a machine for identification.

Our asset reporting service lets you integrate new assets into your existing asset management systems and receive a report by email daily, weekly, or monthly. It is also an effective way to identify PCs shipped in a particular time frame. Tag your systems before distributing them to your staff: purchase, ship, and have hardware ready for your employees using COLAMCO’s services. Systems are scanned into hub services and recorded using barcode data once placed in their shipping boxes.

You don’t want to wait weeks for new IT assets when you can have them up and running in days. You have probably spent a lot of time and money acquiring the right equipment for your business, so being able to control how each item is progressing matters.
