Visual Asset Manager Benefits

VAM makes managing your assets affordable and efficient. Imagine the time saved by simply pulling up a visual image of every asset your company owns when you need it, instead of digging through files or manually wading through rows of data in spreadsheets.

With Visual Asset Manager asset management software, it’s all right there — for whichever department needs the information, whenever they need it: IT, Facilities, Office Management, or Accounting and Finance.

IT: Better Software and Hardware Control

Can you easily, quickly and accurately tell management the location of all your organization’s servers, desktops and laptops? Can you report with certainty where they go when they’re no longer needed?

The high cost of IT and its short lifecycle demand that today’s organizations know the answers to these questions — and others, like how many people have software licenses and access to certain company applications.

But if you have VAM, getting them is as easy as clicking a mouse. You’ll be able to:

Find all software installed on Windows-based PCs and reconcile what you have installed on your network with the licenses you own. You’ll even discover applications that aren’t work-related
Link your IT equipment to specific people and locations and map your inventory to your company’s floorplan
Manage IT equipment on loan with a check-in/check out feature
Track depreciation and know when to salvage equipment you know when it’s time to invest in new hardware.

Facilities Management: Better Visibility, More Detail

No matter what the size of your organization, VAM gives you visibility at any level of detail you need so you can:

Create a snapshot of every floor in every building that shows where your fixed assets are — or are not.
Assign different users specific management functions against specific categories, while ensuring your visibility over all your organization’s assets.
Easily integrate VAM with handheld barcode scanning for inventory or asset tracking.

Office Management: Better Moves, Less Headaches

Managing employee and even company moves isn’t the headache it used to be when you have VAM working for you. Forget the time and resource drains that usually go hand-in-hand with a move. Now you can:

Quickly enter new assets with a handheld barcode scanner and assign them to employees or offices.
Ensure new employees have the right equipment — and that you can account for it when they leave.
Know at a glance when depreciated assets can be salvaged and when they need to be replaced.
Provide a visual picture of your organization — and empower employees to locate the assets they need, without your help.
Check loaner equipment in and out — and track when it’s due.

Accounting and Finance: A Better Balance Sheet

Managing the depreciation of fixed assets, knowing what they’re worth and having answers to the right questions when the auditors arrive are just a few of the benefits VAM brings to the finance and accounting table. You’ll be able to:

Track depreciation using built-in straight-line, double-declining balance, or sum-of-the-years-digits conventions.
Easily view the book value of all fixed assets.
Automatically track the salvage value of your assets to know what you can write-offs and for how much.

Simply put, VAM is asset tracking made easy — for your company, for specific departments and for overall efficiency.
