Scan assets and access them in real time from the CMDB records.

At SysAid, we are expanding our service desk and asset management solution with this new mobile app that provides barcode scanning, audit, and reporting capabilities. It works against our existing robust Configuration Management Database (CMDB).

This app will help you with the following challenges:

- The ability to track inventory, including checking out and in scenarios

- Powerful auditing and reporting capabilities

- Dynamic maintenance control through real-time updating and reporting

- Financial forecasting and track of asset costs

The SysAid Barcode module allows you to create a new asset or set of assets in SysAid, and to assign a unique serial number from your mobile device or from your desktop. By creating and printing a barcode for these assets, you will also be able to add and track the asset in the CMDB for the rest of the asset lifecycle.

In addition, you will be able to add the cost and asset type, as well as the condition and depreciation formula to be used. Once an asset is scanned into the CMDB, you can immediately check out that asset to a person or location.

At regular intervals, using the SysAid Barcode app on your Android device, you can scan assets and access them in real time from the CMDB record. You can also update the record to include things such as: asset condition, ownership, and location. This data will then sync with your CMDB.

Using the app you can process inventory intake and audit different people and different locations (rooms, floors, buildings) that have been assigned ownership of the assets. You can also create reports for different departments that may require this data for financial and purchasing forecasting, as well as to reduce loss of assets.
