Traditional spreadsheets and ledgers are becoming a thing of the past as they are being replaced with RFID Asset Tagging technology that can simplify asset tracking.

Reasons why this is important;

Approximately 30% of all organizations do not know what they own, where their assets are located or who is even using them. Evaluating factors that influence the actual value of assets can take up valuable time.

With a modern tracking system, asset tracking can be accomplished as easy as taking a picture or entering a code.
