Have complete accountability with full histories
Connect2 equipment inventory software makes keeping track of the condition of your equipment from one checkout to the next as simple as possible. You will be instantly aware if there are any lost items too. This in turn supports staff when it comes to organizing equipment maintenance, providing all the software features required in one system – read more about the equipment maintenance features here.
Custom fields with notes against individual items can be generated by staff as they check equipment upon its return. So they can understand if and when any damage has occurred for complete accountability of the condition of all items across their equipment inventory.
The central database gives you usage histories of your equipment inventory, both by item and by user, so you always have the full picture. Generate reports to understand which items may be unreliable or if some users are not treating items with due care. Connect2 gives you the right tools for full equipment tracking on asset condition and so for better service management and decision making.
Equipment management control for larger inventories
Better track assets by organizing identical equipment items into collections in the Connect2 equipment management software. It leads to massive benefits for easier equipment inventory management and faster, more informed decisions on what’s needed next when managing larger inventories.
-
Staff can quickly reserve items in bulk for classes and training
-
You know exactly how many of each type is available each day for scheduling training sessions
-
It’s easy to describe and tag similar items for easy searches and equipment audits
-
It makes checkouts much faster, with staff picking from collections rather than finding unique items in the store
Viewing usage data at the collection level also makes it easier to manage resources, to see when they are being used at capacity and when you need to add more units to your equipment inventory. It helps with inventory management of both costs and budget with inventory levels always fully understood.
Efficiently manage repairs
For each item returned broken, you need equipment tracking software with real-time data that helps manage equipment maintenance from the start. This is where Connect2 helps, coordinating repairs while making sure no-one reserves or turns up to use items until they are back in action.
The maintenance schedules and workflows with item status displays are invaluable. Equipment needing a repair is never left to one side, waiting for someone to figure out why it’s lying there broken. It’s always quick to process, with integrated barcode scanning and a full online record kept automatically. With repairs managed so efficiently, breakages fail to impact students when relying on access to important resources.
Many organizations save a multitude of hours in staff time through this improved resource management. Projects begin and continue on time by ensuring equipment inventories are always up to scratch.
Rely on Connect2 and equipment failure stops impacting the smooth running of your department. Staff are better able to plan ahead and avoid disruption. It’s yet another example of Connect2 software features leading to improved equipment management.
Support for inventory lifecycle management
Usage data in Connect2 helps expose if some equipment inventory items have disproportionate use. You’ll always know which items in your equipment inventory list have heavy wear and tear and it’s time to recycle and replace them. Or if an item repeatedly breaks, it can be retired and replaced.
As the leading provider of equipment inventory software solutions, Connect2 provides all the information required to make these decisions with the support of full maintenance records. The equipment maintenance and repairs log in Connect2 confirms how often breakages are happening and the cost to put it right. This way, equipment which is unfit for purpose can be quickly replaced or other remedial actions taken promptly.
Equipment management software that ensures even wear and tear across stock
With this equipment inventory software solution, you can avoid the same one or two items being reserved or repeatedly grabbed for checkout when more identical assets are available. Connect2’s approach to equipment inventory management highlights these patterns through its use of collections. Staff have full control over which item is checked out each time, allowing them to rotate stock and even out wear and tear across identical items in their equipment inventory. It avoids students needing to use the more worn, scuffed items every time and enjoy equipment in better condition.
Take advantage of barcoding efficiencies
Equipment inventory functionality in Connect2 software is compatible with barcoding systems. It’s a great way to accurately store data on your inventory including its usage history, who’s using it, why and when. In short, barcode scanning will save your staff hours of time, improving your workforce management. It also offers improved equipment management custom reports to support better data-driven decisions.
When you barcode your inventory before lending it out to staff or students – using either barcode stickers, QR codes or asset tags – you avoid all human error in its tracking and reporting. It improves efficiency and also leads to a vastly improved ability to plan ahead.
Barcoding makes Connect2 data on your equipment inventory completely reliable and incredibly useful! With its barcoding functionality, Connect2 is the No.1 system of choice for equipment tracking software and improved inventory management.
