The Assettrac Asset Management Cloud Solution
Assettrac met WIG’s objectives by customising Assettrac’s online portal to record their specific asset information requirements. In addition they devised workflows around their unique processes to address their need for real-time field work information regarding maintaining equipment located at multiple sites.
Working with WIG staff on-site, Assettrac’s team of consultants tailored the system for them to ensure they were able to capture the right data on-site. Assettrac and WIG undertook an asset audit during a 4-week trial which included asset tagging and information management at one of WIG’s customer locations. WIG users were trained to use the software and handheld hardware on-site, showing them how they can collect and update their asset item data in real-time even at height in varying weather conditions! The associated information collected was sent automatically from their handhelds to their portal system where instant reports could be generated.
Following the on-site trial, Assettrac visited WIG at their Solihull office to train designated office users on their cloud based system to manage all assets and create a workflow process that included the new digital information management system. Assettrac supports WIG throughout for their system usage, equipment informational needs and on a continuing basis.
