If you are responsible for managing and tracking company assets, then you have been through the frustration of using worksheets, copying wrong formulas, losing valuable data and having to start from scratch to get organized. By making the switch to VAM you can save time, increase the accuracy of your asset records, and save money with our affordable solution.

The biggest advantage to using VAM over spreadsheets is that now you can create dynamic links between your assets and the people that use them and where they are located. Based on a secure database with powerful, easy-to-use asset management functions. You’ll have access to:

• A secure SQL database to manage all relationships and calculations.
• Option Integrated handheld barcode scanning module
• A 100% customizable solution to store and report on the asset information you need.
• Auto discovery of Windows based PCs
• A true check in/out system — not a sign-out sheet and clipboard.
• The ability to view assets on a floorplan — not a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets are just too time consuming to create and update and can only list your assets. If you want to actually manage and control your assets with confidence then you need Visual Asset Manager.

Control Costs — and Your Valuable Time

The fact is that fixed assets represent a significant portion of our customer’s balance sheets. VAM is designed to help you not only track and account for assets, but also give you the data that helps you take control of costs — once and for all. VAM offers:

• Built-in depreciation tracking (straight-line, sum of years, or double-declining)
• The ability to let you know your Fair Market Value (FMV) on demand.
• The ability to more accurately estimate purchasing needs and surplus disposal timeframes.

VAM not only gives you the answer to the “How much are my assets worth” question, but also gives you the knowledge and the data to know when you’ll need to replace them.

Manage Your Assets Across Multiple Locations

Asset management is much more than just an inventory solution. VAM gives you right tool to meet the needs of not just one department, but your entire organization.

Whether you’re in IT, Finance, Accounting or Facilities, you can customize VAM to manage the asset details specific to each group, and set permissions so that each group is responsible for only its assets.

At the end of the day, VAM gives you with a single application to manage the multiple dimensions of your entire organization’s asset management needs.

404/SOX: Compliance with Confidence

Your fixed assets have a very specific — and often underestimated — role in maintaining proper 404/SOX compliance. Because your fixed assets have value and appear on the balance sheet, you must have checks and balances in place to ensure they’re reported accurately.

VAM shows auditors that you have the right processes and controls in place to accurately account for your fixed assets — and easily demonstrate 404/SOX compliance, such as:

• Security: Restrict access at the user level to manage adding, editing, viewing and reporting on your fixed assets.
• Accuracy: VAM gives you automatic calculations for depreciation conventions. And, with VAM’s Mobile Barcoding solution, you can virtually eliminate data collection errors.
• Visibility: Easily access your data through built-in reporting tools.

In the end, VAM’s ultimate advantage is giving your organization all the security, accuracy and visibility it needs.
