Strategic Resources Inc. – Case Study
About Strategic Resources Inc.
For over 20 years, Strategic Resources, Inc. (SRI) has provided quality management consulting, IT, logistics, and engineering services to U.S. military branches, including the Army, Navy, Air National Guard, and Department of Defense. To efficiently manage military contracts, SRI required a robust Asset Tracking System to monitor government-furnished equipment such as small arms, night vision devices, aircraft parts, and Humvees across ten different Army bases.
The Challenges of Military Asset Tracking
- Limited Asset Visibility: Equipment was difficult to track across various military bases, leading to inefficiencies.
- Manual Tracking Methods: Employees manually recorded asset movements, increasing errors and lost equipment.
- Maintenance and Service Scheduling Issues: No automated system to track maintenance schedules for calibrated tools and equipment.
- Lack of Configurability: Needed a system that allowed for tailored asset field configurations specific to Army-reported data.
These challenges prompted SRI to seek an advanced Asset Tracking System with real-time tracking and barcode integration.
Industry
- Government Contracting / Military Asset Management
Key Challenge
- Tracking military assets across multiple Army installations
- Difficulty managing the movement of assets and tracking check-outs
- Need for real-time visibility into asset location and maintenance history
- Lack of an integrated barcode system for efficient asset tracking
Benefits
- Real-time asset tracking across multiple military bases
- Automated barcode scanning for quick asset check-in/check-out
- Configurable system tailored to military contract requirements
- Seamless integration with Army-reported data

Implementation and Results: From Stress to Systemized Control
Following thorough research, SRI implemented our cloud-based Asset Tracking Solution, enabling them to manage military assets with greater efficiency. The integration process was smooth, requiring no installation, and employees were trained using the “Train the Trainer” approach for quick adoption.
“The system data integration tool was fantastic with the mapping of data fields, enabling us to integrate any data into the system.”
– Lorenzo Ceballos, Director of Business Development, SRI
Key benefits after implementation:
- Efficient Tool Room Operations: Check-in/check-out feature streamlined equipment management.
- Automated Service and Maintenance Tracking: Scheduled maintenance alerts ensured all assets were in top condition.
- Accurate Asset Location Monitoring: Real-time tracking eliminated the time-consuming search for missing items.
- Comprehensive Reporting Capabilities: Enabled SRI to generate detailed usage reports, measuring time spent on equipment tasks.
