Call for Corporate or Government Implementation Data
Camcode would like to hear from customers and potential customers about their experience with an asset tagging program. We would like to gather customer input in order to help new customers understand and prepare for a complete asset tags implementation. The following questions were assembled to discover customer needs and help everyone to have the best experience possible with property identification and asset labeling.
1. After the decision to use (or replace) asset tags at your company or organization, what was the first step taken to determine exactly what type of property would be tagged? Was this movable only or fixed assets only or a combination of both?
2. What was the reference used to existing inventory logs to determine how many tags would be needed? (paper inventory files, previous asset tag database, insurance inventory, etc.) What was the age limit of property tagged (related to depreciation)?
3. What was the baseline value of property labeled? In other words, was there a minimum value of property to be tagged?
4. Following purchase, how did you prepare for label application? eg, cleaning & surface preparation, collection of property into central location, training staff to apply labels, timeline for completion, etc.
5. Did you discover any unexpected issues after label application? Waste, damage, overlap of department property ownership or use? Did you use color coding in addition to bar codes or just unique numbering?
6. Was scanning of barcodes completed immediately after tag application? Any database or software issues?
7. Did you learn anything afterward that surprised you? Was there missing, damaged, lost or extra inventory discovered during labeling?
8. What is the expected ongoing need for replacement of tags as property is replaced, sold or discarded?
9. How long did the process of asset tagging last from start to finish - purchase, application, scanning, database completed, etc. How much calendar time was involved? Man hours to completion? What about maintenance and replacement requirements ongoing?
10. Do you have any advice for others doing a similar asset label implementation?
11. Anything else you observed in the process that you didn't expect?
