Companies are starting to realise that asset labels are a necessity in every business sphere. Essentially an asset label is a tag or label which is used to identify individual items. These asset tags are also usually numbered to help identification of similar items.

Asset tags are usually used alongside asset management software so equipment which has an asset label can be tracked. The number on the asset tag or the barcode on the asset tag is unique to each individual item and an asset register kept on a computer using asset management software.

For some portable equipment, such as computers or servers the frequency of these tests may only be set at once per year and the appliances might be relatively easy to find for the appliance tester.

Most assets within a commercial or industrial establishment are now numbered so that the company can keep a track of the asset. However, there are a few other systems which can be used besides just numbering to increase business efficiencies when stocktaking and waste tracking.

In the past the best way of keeping a record of the items that your business owned was to number all the items and keep an asset register so that each asset could be tracked. However, with advances in technology this simple numbering process has now moved into the 21st century.

In the past with most business conducted in offices, there was not really any need to track company property which was used by employees. Nowadays, with many people working in the field or using their homes as a base for carrying out their role, other solutions were necessary.
