Asset tracking is the process of identifying your assets and then recording key information about them which spans their asset lifecycle.

Identication is ususally accomplished using barcode labels, but may include other identification techniques such as applying RFID tags, Bluetooth Beacons (like Apple AirTags) or real-time GPS tracker devices.

Key information usually includes the Make, Model & Serial Number as well as the date purchased and any other relevant information. In many cases, it makes sense to track the location of the asset as well as the chain of custody, too.

Asset tracking enables you to minimize equipment loss, enhance utilization (as you now know which tools you need, their condition and where they are located) and manage the lifecycle of your assets for bottom line savings. This is achieved by maintaining your equipment through the asset tracking software increasing longevity, as well as ensuring compliance.

The key reason that a business experiences tool loss or theft is poor record-keeping. If you don’t have a complete picture of what tools you have, who’s responsible for them and where they are, you are vulnerable to tool loss. GoCodes solves this problem by ensuring that each tool is uniquely identified with a patented QR code label. You can upload the asset’s  information – including its picture and other documentation such as maintenance history –  into your asset database. Now you have clear and complete information about every asset you own.

The unique QR code identifier also enables the tool to be scanned and checked in and out to a specific person, who is then responsible for it. It can also be assigned to a specific project, too. Our GPS geolocation features enable you to track the location of the tool every time the barcode is scanned, so you can see where it is. You can even upgrade to a Real-Time GPS tracking device, if real time location data – with minute-by-minute updates – is needed for the tracking of large ticket tools and equipment.

Absolutely! GoCodes Asset Tracking comes with features that make tracking consumable inventory like gloves, glasses and project materials, easy. We help you keep track of your current quantity, as well as the consumables used by a specific person or project. Receive automatic e-mail notifications when you run low on a specific item, too. Our Enterprise Reporting option enables you to build custom reports that show raw material or inventory consumed by project or by person for any time period, at the touch of a button.

We know that tools and equipment are frequently exposed to harsh working environments.  These could include everything from rain and moisture exposure to oil and other chemical exposure. We also know that equipment can get knocks and dings on a regular basis. To ensure our labels are rugged enough for your equipment, we offer a range of metal QR code labels for you.

Our QR Code labels in a range of materials from thin foil material to a thicker aluminum label. We also offer stainless steel and ultra-rugged material labels for specialty industrial applications. Unlike many other solutions, the tags we offer can be customized with your company name and logo and other key information, too. And if you are looking for iron-on QR code labels for specialized clothing, we offer those, too!

We provide a comprehensive range of tracking options including rugged QR codes, Bluetooth beacons, Real-time GPS trackers and RFID tags that enable you to track everything from small hand tools to heavy vehicles and equipment. In our experience, small hand tools and equipment are best tracked with QR code labels, although in some cases a Bluetooth Beacon or an RFID tag can help. Why the QR code tag for hand tools? It offers the best value, and geolocation is updated every time the QR code is scanned using a smartphone.

Bluetooth Beacons are perfect for larger tools and equipment that are kept relatively nearby and that you’re trying to locate within an office or a small campus environment. Think of them as an Air Tag™ for industry.

GPS trackers are perfect for larger, high value equipment. This would include vehicles, trailers or large pieces of machinery. The trackers themselves are battery powered and typically have a four-year (or greater) battery life. They’ll update the location of your equipment twice a day when stationary or every minute on the move. The GPS trackers are waterproof, rugged and can be attached using screws, rivets, etc.

While we find most tools and equipment can be tracked and managed using our patented QR code labels, there are some items that require additional tracking capabilities. In these cases, we also offer Bluetooth beacons for nearby tracking (such as in a warehouse setting) and full GPS real-time trackers, for the tracking of costly equipment including vehicles and fleet. Whatever options you choose, the GoCodes Asset Tracking solution enables you to view all of your assets (whatever their size) in one simple straightforward-to-use software.

One of the most common challenges business face when implementing new software, is managing the change process and getting a team fully on board. To help them onboard fast and feel comfortable using GoCodes, it’s important to take the time to set up and customize the software, so that it exactly fits your team’s needs. When you’ve customized the database to match your business language, it will look familiar and your team will feel more comfortable using it.

Also, please consider providing your team with a simple training, to enable them to practice common tasks like check in/ check out. Once trained, your team will realize how friendly the software is to use, as well as the benefits to be gained from it. Pointing out how GoCodes will make their daily job easier (for example using the driving directions or the geolocation of equipment to make finding a specific tool, easy) will also be instrumental to successful onboarding, too.
