A concise Audit Trail offers a transparent overview of all equipment processed
Our management information system allows clients to make informed decisions about their assets. Accuracy is guaranteed by a series of regular reports which provide a clear and concise audit trail and a transparent overview of all equipment processed, whether it is upgraded, remarketed or recycled.
Each item has its full details and specifications logged and a unique reference allocated in order that any item can be traced at any time during the process and a full work history provided.
Asset registry
All major items of equipment are assetted on their arrival at Absolute Networks's premises. The default register consists of a spreadsheet containing 30 items, described by manufacturer, type, company asset number (as available) and manufacturer's serial number. Variations on this format are agreed with clients, including on-site assetting prior to transportation. Registers are given a unique number, forwarded electronically to the client and retained by Absolute Networks for a minimum of three years.
Asset tracking
Asset tracking is offered but, noting that the target turnaround of equipment is just a few days, is probably only relevant for equipment held in quarantine.
This feature mainly applies to base units, laptops etc. recently cleared from the desktops which may still hold data. The quarantine period, during which no work is done to the base unit/laptop and it is held in a secure store, is typically two weeks and during this time a unit can be located and returned to the client.
Absolute Networks is able, using statistical methods, to indicate the percentages of re-use, recycling and landfill contained in a clearance. This is typically given to clients who request it, on a monthly basis.
Software inventory
Clients may require an inventory of the software loaded onto a base unit or laptop which has been disposed of. This can be established and reported to customer.
