Understanding Location-Based Asset Tracking
Let’s clarify what location-based asset tracking is not. Without the power of location technology, achieving real-time asset tracking becomes impossible. Manual methods such as tracking through spreadsheets, manual check-ins/check-outs or visual inspections fall short of the true potential of location-based asset tracking that is sought after today. These outdated approaches lack automation and real-time data, leading to inaccuracies and limited visibility of assets. Technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, although once popular, are gradually fading away as they fail to provide the level of accuracy and seamless tracking without the right infrastructure.
Limitations of Traditional Asset Tracking Methods
Let’s dive in and explore the common hurdles that traditional methods often encounter, making them less effective and efficient:
- Manual Tracking: Traditional asset tracking methods rely heavily on manual processes such as paper-based logs or spreadsheets. Unfortunately, these methods leave room for human errors to creep in. As a result, asset records can become inaccurate, updates may be delayed, and finding assets can become quite challenging.
- Limited Visibility: Without the integration of advanced technologies, these methods fall short in delivering comprehensive insights. They typically offer only basic information like asset names or numbers, lacking real-time updates and precise location details.
- Time-Consuming Inventory Checks: Conducting manual inventory checks to ensure the presence and condition of assets can be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring individuals to physically inspect each asset. As the number of assets increases or events grow in scale, this task becomes even more challenging.
- Lack of Real-Time Updates: Outdated methods don’t provide you with real-time updates on the movement and status of your assets. Delays in identifying missing or misplaced assets slow you down and cause unnecessary inefficiencies, delays, and increased costs.
- Inefficient Resource Allocation: Without accurate and up-to-date asset tracking, it becomes difficult to allocate resources effectively. This can lead to overstocking or underutilization of assets, causing unnecessary expenses and operational inefficiencies.
- Limited Insights and Analytics: Traditional methods often lack the capability to provide meaningful insights and analytics on asset usage, maintenance history, and performance. This hinders data-driven decision-making and proactive asset management.
- Lack of Integration: Traditional asset tracking methods may operate in silos, making it challenging to integrate with other systems and technologies. This limits the ability to streamline workflows, share data, and collaborate across different departments or stakeholders involved in event management.
