How Our Company Manages Business Assets with BoxHero

In the early years, our company encountered difficulties with tracking business assets as it required a lot of effort to locate them. We knew that the only solution for this problem was to manage them properly to protect our business’s profit. However, our company decided not to proceed with manual asset management since it can bring us inconvenience and gives wrong information and data.

Therefore, we chose to enlist the help of an asset management software to save time and focus on other necessary works. We recorded everything happening to our assets since it is crucial to know their status for better decision-making. If your business relates to the challenges we have experienced, this blog will eventually help you manage business assets effectively with BoxHero.

Look at some of the top challenges and ways to overcome them in a business.

Challenges in the Absence of Asset Management System

These are some of the challenges that we have experienced while managing assets without any system.

• Human Error 😤

Our company had difficulties finding and distinguishing similar assets, and these challenges sometimes lead to human errors. Errors like over/under counting, mis-identifying, and other discrepancies occurred quite often. It took us lots of time and effort to track them since there were no unique identifies like asset images in the record. Companies can encounter some mistakes in operations and calculations because of confusion in identifying assets. These mistakes may cause inaccurate data, which can complicated you in tracking business assets.

• Lack of Inventory Count 😥

Initially, due to how few assets were located in the office, we did not process any inventory counts. However, not performing inventory counts led to having an inaccurate quantity of current assets. Especially when the number of assets increased, it was difficult to manage them properly and we had no idea which assets were available or not. With this, our company experienced having ghost assets and low stock of assets. These two unfortunate situations directly impacted business through unrecorded stock out, asset rearrangement, and others. When we started to process inventory count without any system, the same problems occurred in the record.

• Inappropriate Tracking 😫

As the number of assets increases, tracking inventory without software became more difficult. With a long list of items and no categorical reference, trying to find a specific item was like a needle in a haystack. Tracking always took up a lot of time as our company had more than 100 papers involving listed assets. Moreover, searching for essential assets on that paper was challenging as we had to find out where it is, who is using them, etc. In this case, you have to keep in mind that if you track your assets inappropriately, you will be recording the wrong information with inaccurate data.
