Identify Assets That May Be Missing

Compare recorded asset locations with your cycle count results

We understand that with equipment constantly being checked-out and checked-in, it can be hard to keep track of which assets have been misplaced or lost, especially if you’re managing your assets manually through a spreadsheet.

Our Asset Management Software is designed to make the asset count process simple, easy, and accurate, where you’re tracking IT equipment or office supplies. With our Asset Cycle Count feature, you can compare scanned assets against the assets expected at a location, helping your team identify items that need further investigation.

The Two Types of Asset Cycle Counts

Learn about the options offered in this feature of our Asset Management Solution

We offer two methods of Asset Cycle Counts in our asset management systems that system administrators can choose to enable. This includes:

  • Blind Asset Cycle Count
  • Dynamic Asset Cycle Count

The Blind Asset Cycle Count

Learn about how this method works

The standard way of performing asset counts where users choose the location of the count, scan the barcodes on the assets and hit the Process button to complete the cycle count.

The Dynamic Asset Cycle Count

Learn about whether this method suits your asset management needs

A more advanced method where after choosing the location of the count, our software auto-populates assets that should be at the site. As users scan asset items, the system sorts them under 3 categories:

  • To Be Found: Assets expected at the selected location that have not yet been scanned. If they remain unscanned when the count is completed, they may need to be investigated. This does not necessarily mean they are lost.
  • Found: Assets expected at the selected location that have been scanned during the count.
  • Unidentified: Assets scanned during the count that were not previously listed at the selected location for that count. These may be misplaced or have location records that need updating. System administrators can configure our software to let users add Unidentified Assets into the systems.

For example, if a laptop is listed at the IT office but is scanned in a conference room, the count can help identify the discrepancy. The team can then check whether the laptop was moved without its location being updated.

Auto Move Assets

Move items according to where they’re found

Your System Administrators also have access to enable an Auto Move option. When enabled, this option can automatically update an asset’s recorded site or location based on where it is found during a cycle count. This is useful in the case that your business often interchanges assets and equipment between multiple locations.

Configurable Reports at Your Disposal

Learn about how you can get in-depth analysis on your Assets

In our asset tracking software, you and your users are able to generate 3 types of Asset Cycle Count Reports when necessary. This includes:

  • Asset Cycle Count Report: Generates reports of all assets found at your site
  • Asset Cycle Count Missing Report: Generates a report of assets expected at the site that were not found during the count
  • Asset Cycle Count Moved Report: Generates a report of assets found at the selected location that were not previously listed at that site
