Why Asset Registers are Essential in Field Service Organizations and Asset-Intensive Industries

For most field service organizations and asset-intensive industries, enterprise asset management is a full-time job. It gets even more complicated when trying to locate GIS, keeping track of and maintaining a highly detailed asset registry—property, plant, sites, equipment, inventory, fleet, etc.—and related information. At any given time, a part could fail, an asset disappears, or preventative maintenance is required, calling on your mobile field workforce to know when and where to respond. Whether the assets are internal or your customers’, with all that, requiring delicate coordination, how do you manage it all? That is why asset registers are essential. Let’s check out the key features and benefits.

Effectively maintain, service, and trace assets

•    They provide an effective way in maintaining, servicing, and tracing any type of asset i.e., mobile, or fixed in a single platform.

•    Displaying and viewing all your field assets on the map

•    Displaying asset details via barcode or QR code scan within no time

•    Storing the location of fixed assets

•    Tracking mobile asset location history over time

•    Easily define assets with native GIS capabilities

•    Enhancing the accuracy of your assets data

•    Visualizing assets on the native map or leveraging a zero-effort integration to your existing maps and overlays
 
Schedule recurring maintenance work orders

•    The nature of enterprise asset management requires managing, planning, and scheduling operations work. It enables work order creation and scheduling of preventative maintenance against your assets.

•    Quickly schedule recurring maintenance tasks against assets

•    Assigning work orders by skills, availability, proximity, and certification or training requirements for effective resource planning

•    Generating digital work order forms in a drag-and-drop editor

•    Enabling automated workflows to schedule recurring time- or meter-based maintenance work orders

•    Assigning emergency work orders by the nearest available technician

•    Capturing before and after Photos, barcodes, signatures, and more

•    Providing digital work order forms right in the field for scanning barcodes, taking photos, adding markup, annotations, and more

•    Capturing and visualizing time series data against assets including temperature and pressure readings

•    Connecting your existing third-party systems to lookup values and catalogs across assets and work orders

•    Triggering automated workflows, including the creation of work orders with third-party systems

Offline availability so you can locate and manage field asset data in remote locations

We understand asset and field service work can occur in some of the most remote places on Earth where connectivity can be a challenge and loss of data is common. The asset registers mobile, sync, and merge engine works online and offline, so even if your cellular or Wi-Fi network is down, your mobile field workforce can keep working and everything will sync when connectivity is restored.

•    Attributing level merge of offline changes

•    Displaying and view all your field assets on an interactive map, on both the web and mobile applications

•    All changes are GPS and time-stamped for accurate auditing and record-keeping

•    Asset data is version controlled and history tracked

•    With real-time in-app field service collaboration and messaging, you can increase efficiency and be proactive at managing your assets.

•    Gauging asset performance, with analytics and reporting.
