Success with Asset Reservations
Education Industry—schools, universities, colleges, and school districts
The Reservations functionality is a significant addition to the day-to-day inventory operations in educational institutions. With books, iPads and audio-visual equipment constantly in circulation, it may be difficult for students to get ahold of the resources they need to complete class assignments. Therefore, it’s valuable to use an asset tracking system with this function, so students and teachers have the ability to reserve school equipment in a timely manner.
Construction Industry—a game-changer for project managers
Job after job, workers and company assets are always on the move. Each assignment varies with respect to which equipment and tools are needed, so it is very important to make sure asset usage is managed correctly. If certain tools are not available, projects are delayed and clients are unhappy. Thus, instead of purchasing more assets, managers should take advantage of the ability to reserve the tools they need in advance.
