In any business, the term ‘asset’ is loaded with meaning but varies widely in interpretation. For some, assets might mean high-value equipment essential for daily operations, while others see stock items, consumables, or even specialised samples as assets that need meticulous tracking. From field service to healthcare and logistics, industries face the common challenge of tracking and managing these assets in real time to ensure availability, compliance and efficiency. AltLogic’s advanced asset tracking solutions address this need by helping organisations understand and manage their assets, regardless of how ‘asset’ is defined.

Defining an Asset Across Different Industries

In practical terms, an asset can be anything critical to a business’s operations. Here’s how different industries might view assets:

• Field Service: In field service, assets could range from tools and repair parts to large equipment temporarily stationed at job sites. Tracking the availability and movement of these items ensures that field teams have what they need to perform timely repairs or installations.
• Healthcare: For healthcare providers, assets might include medical specimens, diagnostic samples, or critical consumables. These items often require careful handling, tracking, and quick retrieval to maintain their quality, especially under strict time or temperature constraints.
• Logistics: In the logistics industry, assets could encompass everything from parcels in transit to the equipment used for loading and unloading. Tracking these assets is vital for streamlining delivery routes, ensuring timely deliveries, and maintaining inventory accuracy across distribution hubs.
• Manufacturing: For businesses that manufacture products, assets could be components of the manufacturing process, machinery or valuable materials that could be compromised if exposed to incorrect temperatures or environments.

Despite the diversity in what constitutes an asset, these industries all share a need for robust tracking solutions to manage and optimise asset usage. AltLogic’s asset tracking solution provides the flexibility to address these needs across varied asset definitions.

How AltLogic Transforms Asset Tracking

AltLogic’s stock and asset tracking technology is fully customisable, enabling organisations to tailor the system based on their unique asset definitions and tracking requirements. Here’s a look at how AltLogic’s features empower businesses:

1. Real-Time Tracking and Oversight

AltLogic’s system provides a comprehensive view of asset movements, allowing teams to track consignments in and out of depots, vehicles, or warehouses. This real-time visibility enhances decision-making and ensures that assets are where they’re needed at all times.

2. Detailed Audit Trail

AltLogic documents each asset’s journey with a time-stamped audit trail, providing an accurate record of movements and status changes. For organisations dealing with regulatory compliance, such as healthcare or logistics, this documentation is essential for transparency and quality control.

3. Asset Management Across Use Cases

The AltLogic system supports the tracking of both serialised and consumable assets, making it ideal for diverse use cases. Whether it’s ensuring critical medical specimens reach labs within specified windows or delivering parcels on time, AltLogic provides the flexibility to track a wide range of items with precision.

4. Temperature-Sensitive Asset Monitoring

AltLogic integrates with cutting-edge technology, such as the Zebra ZS300 electronic sensor, to monitor the temperature of sensitive items in real time. This feature is invaluable for industries like healthcare, where maintaining specific temperature ranges is crucial to the viability of samples and medical supplies.

5. Enhanced Job Completion and Workflow Management

For field service applications, AltLogic’s job completion workflow streamlines asset consumption tracking, automatically updating stock levels as items are used. This actively ensures accurate inventory records and minimises downtime by alerting teams when they need to replenish stock.

6. Digital Signatures and Time-Sensitive Tracking

Digital signing at the point of delivery enables recipients to confirm the receipt of goods, creating a digital record that improves accountability and accuracy. AltLogic’s time-sensitive tracking functionality also flags assets as expired if they’re delivered outside their designated time window—an important safeguard for perishable or high-priority items.

Leveraging AltLogic’s Tracking for Performance Insights

AltLogic’s system goes beyond simple asset tracking by offering tools to monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across organisational domains, contracts, regions, teams, and even remote workers. Consequently, by analysing data at each level, businesses gain insights into asset utilisation, transit times, and overall operational efficiency. This helps organisations make informed decisions to reduce costs, optimise resources, and elevate service quality.

Conclusion

In a world where assets can mean everything from a vital medical specimen to equipment parts, having a flexible tracking system is crucial.
