When Does Bar|Scan Make
Sense?
 Whenever you are required to perform inventories of fixed
assets. Bar|Scan can dramatically improve accuracy and save 50% to 80% of
the time you spend on inventories after the first year.
When you have equipment or furniture in
storage. You may be wasting valuable time hunting through storage areas for
assets you may or may not have--or worse, purchasing new furniture and
equipment unnecessarily because you can't locate items in storage.
When your employees use personal
computers and peripherals. Improve utilization, provide better maintenance
and technical support by identifying the models and serial numbers prior to a
field service call or help desk function. Improve record keeping for warranties
and repair. Deter theft by assigning assets to departments or
individuals.
When your auditors insist on greater
control of your fixed assets or when you want to charge back departments for
their share of the depreciation expense on capital assets. The Activity Log
and Accounting Module will allow you to collect and transmit information to
your mainframe or PC-based fixed asset accounting system.
When you have systems furniture that is
being moved or reconfigured. Bar|Scan can tell you how much of your
existing inventory can be reused, reducing unnecessary purchases of new
furniture. You can also export types and quantities of furniture which can be
imported into furniture specification packages like Electronic Sweet's CAP.
And, because it is a SQL compliant database, in many cases the data can be
accessed directly by CAD systems using SQL.
When you need to track requests for
furniture and equipment. Bar|Scan's Work Order Module allows you to create,
track and automatically update the status of each request.
When you want to document valuable
assets for insurance and security purposes. Bar|Scan can produce listings
of assets by location in the event of a fire, natural disaster or theft. Many
insurance companies will reduce property insurance premiums when detailed
information can be provided at renewal time. |
