| FEATURES |
• Knowledge
Our field staff knows the equipment. Our IT staff knows the data. So, we can get your legacy data, correct it in the field, and put it back into your system. |
| |
• Serialized/Non-Serialized
We can inventory both serialized assets (i.e., those with a unique identifier) and non-serialized assets. We can even migrate your asset base from a non-serialized environment to a serialized one. |
| |
• 1D/2D Barcodes
If your equipment is labeled with barcodes, we can scan it. Single or multi-dimensional, regardless of symbology we can capture the data. If your equipment is not labeled, we can place barcodes during our inventory process. |
| |
• Equipment Catalog
We will utilize your equipment catalog during an inventory to perform validation in the field and be sure we are returning consistent, high-quality data. If you nee an equipment catalog we can build one as part of the inventory that can then be used among operations, procurement, and finance to be sure all are speaking the same language with regards to assets. |
| |
• Reconciliation
Once the inventory data is collected, some companies choose to reconcile the data with their legacy investment records to account for known issues in how the asset investment was previously recorded. We can provide the inventory data for you to reconcile or we can take your business rules and have our professionals reconcile the data for you for a complete turn-key solution. |
| |
• Delivering Results
You can receive the inventory data in any format. We will provide you the results in the format you need to be sure the "system of records" is updated and you can see the benefits of using Alden to perform your inventories. |
