Business Information

Asset labels are numbered labels which are attached to your valuable business items. You can also use barcode labels with asset management software. As well as the number being on a label, it is also stored in a log by you – this may be a manual log or an automatic system which uses barcodes and asset management software.

The types if items you may wish to label include:

• Laptops
• Tools
• Protective clothing
• Equipment
• Any items which are very valuable or need to be tracked

Here are the benefits that asset labels could bring:

1. Seeing an id or security label will put potential thieves off. Many asset labels are permanent and stolen goods marked in this way will not be able to be sold on. Even if someone tries to tamper with the label, a VOID mark or other stain will show, making the equipment unattractive to thieves or buyers on the black market.

2. It is important for many businesses to know where all their equipment is all the time – this may be for security reasons, as well as for efficiency. Using an asset label system will enable you to locate items at a glance or at the touch of a button.

3. Precious time and money can be wasted when the management of equipment is disorganised. Often businesses misplace items, waste ages looking for them and fork out for a replacement, only for them to turn up at a later date. Asset labels make equipment much easier to manage and locate.

4. If you’re lending items out to customers, contractors or other colleagues, asset labels make this process much more efficient to co-ordinate.

5. It can be especially hard to keep track of items if they all look the same or similar. Where you have assets like this, a numerical asset label system is invaluable.

6. Some insurance firms insist that you prove you own certain items before they will pay out. Asset labels are proof of ownership.

7. Many types of businesses and organisations benefit from asset labels such as schools, manufacturers, IT firms, government departments, police, universities, healthcare firms and more.

8. Goods marked with asset labels will be recognisable as belonging to your company at a glance, as you can have the labels personalised with your company logo and details – if items do go missing, you’re also more likely to get them back.
