Fixed Asset Management Software
for Government or Private Sector
SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
There are many reasons for the accurate management fixed assets: legal,
financial, operational, and safety. But an audit can be a lot of work, and the
traditional methods (which sometimes included "stop work and everyone pitch in") took
time, and did not always produce accurate results.
The application of tags bearing a unique identifier changes the story. Receipt, put-away,
issue, and audit can be performed easily and quickly, resulting in reports which are
timely, comprehensive and accurate. For each asset, know where it is, who confirmed it
and when.
This article introduces BassetPro Software, as used by Government and the private sector.
The article explains how it works, and why using it is easy and fast and the reports are
accurate and comprehensive.
BassetPro Genesis
BassetPro is SageData flagship product. It has been continuously developed and refined over more than 20 years, and it incorporates lessons learned from many hundreds of customers and millions of transactions. It is the core of our product offerings in fixed asset tracking, inventory management, and inspection and maintenance control.
Why do you care?
Well, when you use BassetPro to help manage your assets or inventory, particularly if it is mission-critical kit, you probably do not want something built from scratch. You will be secure in the knowledge that BassetPro is a solid base on which to rely. The fact that thousands of people before you have used the same technology that is at the heart of our products speaks volumes about the reliability of the information that you entrust to the system.
Here is a high-level diagram of the main system components.
But that is just the beginning
Many companies offer a standard product, but few give the same degree of
attention to what YOU need in your own unique environment. At SageData Solutions, we do
not believe that you should tailor your operating procedures to methods that a software
designer, maybe with no experience of your sector, has determined.
So, we have three things that turns our system into your unique work-tool:
- A custom-configured user interface (shell) around the core. While you are experiencing
the reliability of the BassetPro core, you are doing it via your own unique look-and-feel
on the various screens
- A library of functions developed over 20+ years that we pull from to craft the logic
and rules of your own operation
- A data collection environment that allows many different types of data entry - barcodes
of all types, RFID tags, sensor readings, NFC, Bluetooth beacons, and so on - even manual
entry and list selection.
While these elements are worth knowing about, we do not expect you to do it yourself. In our pre-delivery discussions, we work with you to define everything you need. We deliver, you use, you give us feedback, we tweak it so that it becomes the perfect fit.
In the diagram above, you see that we balance the two worlds of customized one-off systems with generic off-the-shelf software. Every customer has a different balance and different needs, and that is why you will find BassetPro systems in environments as diverse as office and industrial environments, in the public and in the private sectors, and in customers ranging from large multi-nationals to small businesses. Each run their own unique system, but each is powered by the solid core of BassetPro.
We would be happy to tell you many additional details and describe some examples of our solutions based on BassetPro.
