What is an asset inventory?

An asset inventory is a comprehensive process that involves the systematic recording, evaluation, and documentation of all of a company’s fixed assets. These are long-term assets that are essential to business operations, such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, IT equipment, and other assets. Asset inventory enables a company to obtain an accurate overview of its asset portfolio, including the number, condition, locations, and book values of the assets.

While a general inventory typically includes an inventory of all of a company’s assets, fixed asset inventory focuses specifically on fixed assets. Compared to other assets, fixed assets generally have a longer useful life and a higher value. It is therefore very important for companies to carry out an accurate and up-to-date fixed asset inventory in order to ensure financial transparency, comply with legal requirements, and practice effective asset management.

Asset inventory can be of great importance for tax purposes as well as for internal controls and management decisions. It enables companies to determine the value of their fixed assets, record depreciation correctly, ensure insurance coverage, and track the life cycle of their assets. A comprehensive and accurate asset inventory is therefore essential for making informed business decisions, determining company value, and ensuring the efficient use of resources.

Printing labels for equipment and rooms

A prerequisite for efficient inventory management of assets is the printing and affixing of labels. There are two types of labels:

  1. Labels for equipment
  2. Labels for rooms

Both types of labels can be created at any time in any quantity using conventional Zebra-compatible label printers in the office or on the go during asset inventory.

The inventory process consists of the step “Scanning a room label.” This loads all assets assigned to this room into the mobile device. In the second step, all asset labels in the room must then be scanned.

The asset inventory offers all the options needed to respond immediately to discrepancies (unknown assets in the room, missing assets, asset recording). In addition, photos can be taken with the camera and archived in SAP, linked directly to the asset.
