Fixed Asset Management Software

By Marc
If you have internal inventory management people, they’ll be used to it and it won’t be a big deal, but if you don’t, get

someone to do it for you. You have no idea how much easier it will be. As with many software vendors, ...

IMSolutions.Net is a reseller for fixed asset software from Sage. What are fixed assets? Well they’re things that your company has that you plan on keeping (i.e. not stock that you plan to sell). So thing like telephones, computers, chairs, desks, vehicles, tools, etc… Asset tracking is a vital to any company’s long term fiscal health because it’s very easy to hemorrhage money through lost assets.

Proper tracking can also help you make better business decisions. For example, you need to buy new office chairs for a new office. Three years ago you decided to buy new office chairs that were a little bit more expensive, was it worth it or should you go back to the old vendor? Well your asset tracking software would help you determine how many of them are in a state of disrepair. You quickly find out that you’ve only had to replace a single chair over three years (compared to 20 from the previous vendor over the same period) due to the better quality.

I’m sure you can imagine a hundred other scenarios where fixed asset tracking would provide you with the information you need to make smart business planning decisions.

But why buy from a middleman? Well IMSolutions, like many other vendors that sell someone else’s product offer value added services. While they’ve got a lot of value added services here’s the one that caught my eye.

Our team barcodes, inventories and reconciles all your fixed assets on site, without disrupting you and your staff.

Do I even need to explain why this is an amazing value added service? Granted you’ll be paying a small premium for this kind of service, but having experts coming in to take care of this is an amazing offer. Doing this kind of work is not fun. If you have internal inventory management people, they’ll be used to it and it won’t be a big deal, but if you don’t, get someone to do it for you. You have no idea how much easier it will be.

As with many software vendors, IMSolutions offers a trial period to give you a chance to test out the software before you decide to roll it out. Having needed to do this in the past, I would strongly urge you to develop a written checklist as a plan. Write down all of the requirements that you want the software to have and then check them off as you go. It makes proper evaluation a lot easier, particularly when it come to complex systems.
