Challenges Faced

The client has more than 100 different things like computers, screens, and keyboards etc, but they didn’t put labels on them, so it’s hard to know which is which. When someone needs one of these things, they have to send an email to a storage place and wait for permission. All the information about these things is kept in a big spreadsheet, which isn’t very good at keeping track of things. Also, because the company has offices in four different places, it’s even harder to know where everything is. They don’t know how many times they fixed a computer or when its warranty ends. This causes a lot of problems for them.

No Labels on Assets:

The organization's assets, including computers, screens, and keyboards etc. lack identification labels, making it difficult to identify and manage them

Excel-based Tracking:

Asset data is stored in a large Excel spreadsheet and updated manually which results in delay in getting updated report.

Multi-Location Challenge:

The organization's operations are spread across three different places, making it even harder to keep tabs on asset locations and status.

Lack of Lifecycle Information:

The organization doesn't have a good way to track the history of assets, such as how many times a computer has been repaired or when its warranty is expiring. This creates operational issues and underutilization of assets.

Unavailability of record level attachment reports:

The client uploads images of assets in accounting system; however, there is no way to include these images in the Excel reports, which makes it challenging to visually assess the condition of assets within the reports.
