November 16, 2017 by Paul Sotrop – One of the most time-consuming tasks that retailers face is keeping track of all of their store-level assets. Yet when you think of what you have invested in your network – security systems, POS systems, foodservice items, displays and more – can you really trust a spreadsheet of serial numbers or a file of paperwork to tell you what’s going on in each store? Consider how much is riding on the continuous l, smooth operation of your equipment. Then, factor in the cost of record keeping or the potential costs of human error.

It’s time to automate your tracking. A good, full-service store intelligence system can help you tap into the information in your store profiles to drive smarter decision-making about your equipment. It can help you…

• Simplify management of multiple types of systems, equipment and all store-level assets.
• Be proactive about maintenance. Don’t wait for equipment failure to bring your store to a stop: Use the system to alert you when maintenance is due.
• Quickly find items that have been recalled for safety or warranty issues.
• Interact with your information in real time instead of waiting for a report.
• Leverage quick mobile surveys to instantly answer questions.
• Link your management and purchasing functions together. Use the information to target your equipment buying plans to the specific needs of each store.
• Use your asset inventory for fixed equipment and equipment that moves from one location to another.
