Track and Trace Physical Assets

This begins with a formal inventory of all physical assets. Assets that must be regularly maintained, regularly replaced, and updated. Included in this record are the timing of maintenance and the costs attached.

Traditionally, this record has been painstakingly entered into an excel spreadsheet. But, it's 2021, and now is the time for facility managers to level up their technology integration. Use facility condition assessment software to make this process foolproof and effortless!

Physical Asset Data Collection

Collecting and maintaining physical asset data is essential. This includes physical asset name, category, model number, etc. Do you really want to maintain this list in a spreadsheet?

Implement our FOUNDATION.Conditions software so that all this data is easily accessible in one place. This will make it a breeze to evaluate it, manage deferred maintenance, and prevent backlog, which improves consistency and reduces costs over time.

With FOUNDATION.Conditions, you can collect and manage this data on-site with a mobile device that syncs across multiple device types and across multiple teams. Plus maintain, identify and document deficiencies with digital checklists.

Maintain Physical Assets

Now that the inventory list is created, it is time to define maintenance and replacement schedules for all of these assets. This is part of the everyday job for facility managers and it can be a real headache if you're working across spreadsheets with multiple tabs, pivot tables, and columns.
