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.
With companies now offering a more flexible way of working, staff will be taking equipment from the business premises and so it makes it more difficult to track who has what and where it is at any given time.
In the past we have gone through the sorts of benefits that can be gained from using asset labels in your business. The loss of an asset can really have a negative impact on the finances of a company, so it is necessary that managers make the best use of things of value to the organisation.
What levels of stock your business holds at any one time can really impact on the overall finances of your company. However, carrying out a stock take is the only way you are really going to know how much money is being held within your products at any given time.
There are various ways in which asset labels can be used to aid a business. This is not just confined to being able to label or number some product or other. In fact, asset labels are perfect for security purposes.
When you consider asset labels and their many features, you will be able to see how they can warn people against tampering with particular equipment or device parts.
The majority of UK businesses need to have their portable appliances tested at some time or another. This is because it shows that the check makes the produce perfectly safe to use and the way it is labelled demonstrates that the company is complying with current standards.
In fact, many insurers actually insist that portable appliances are tested on a regular basis if your premises and its contents are to be covered for damage and loss. Asset labels are therefore deployed in this way to label these portable appliances, while containing information about the equipment you have within the building.
With most companies having an online presence these days, you can expect their IT department to include some serious kit. Whether your business is large or small, keeping track of these expensive assets is an important requirement.
If you are responsible for looking after the laptops, computers and other office equipment relating to IT, you need to ensure that every item is tagged using an asset label. This is necessary in order to track and monitor the whereabouts of these assets.
The tagging of items in factories has become more common over the last few years as people try to save money where they can. And the best way that companies can track their assets is by using asset tags.
An asset labels use is simply not confined to the numbering or the labelling of a product or a part. Asset labels can also be used for security purposes and to stop people tampering with certain parts of a machine or a device.
Security labels are available in tamper evident and void types:
• They provide a tamper evident seal so that they split apart and cannot be removed in one piece. The labels also cannot be reattached.
• They can provide a void message if the label is removed
The stock you hold within your business can account for a good deal of your company finances. And the only way you can work out how much stock you hold and what this stock is worth is if you do a stock take.
Portable appliance testing is carried out at most businesses across the UK. It is a way of labelling each portable appliance that a company owns and a way of making sure that the appliance is safe to use.
Some insurance companies will insist on regular portable appliance tests if they are to insure your building or employees from damage or harm.
