What is Equipment Inventory?

Equipment inventory refers to the process of managing and keeping track of all the equipment owned by a business or organization. It involves recording relevant information such as the type of equipment, serial numbers, purchase dates, and current condition. An equipment inventory helps businesses maintain accurate records, assess the value of their assets, plan for maintenance and repairs, and make informed decisions about equipment procurement and disposal.

What are the types of Equipment Inventory?

There are several types of equipment inventory that businesses can maintain. The most common types include:

Fixed Assets: This category includes equipment that is not easily movable and is typically used for long periods of time, such as machinery, vehicles, furniture, and computer systems.
Portable Assets: These are smaller equipment items that can be easily transported, such as laptops, projectors, tools, and handheld devices.
Consumables: These are items that are used up or depleted during normal business operations, such as paper, ink cartridges, cleaning supplies, and batteries.

How to complete Equipment Inventory

Completing equipment inventory can be a systematic process. Here are the steps to follow:

01
Gather Information: Collect all necessary details about the equipment, including descriptions, serial numbers, purchase dates, and any other relevant information.
02
Organize and Categorize: Create categories or sections for different types of equipment, making it easier to locate and track items.
03
Record Information: Enter all the gathered information into a centralized inventory management system or spreadsheet. Ensure accurate data entry and regularly update the inventory as equipment status changes.
04
Conduct Regular Audits: Periodically review and physically verify the existence and condition of the equipment to ensure the inventory remains accurate and up to date.
05
Plan for Maintenance and Disposal: Use the inventory data to schedule maintenance activities and determine when equipment needs to be repaired, replaced, or disposed of.
06
Utilize Technology Solutions: Consider using specialized inventory management software or cloud-based platforms to streamline the inventory process and enhance efficiency.

I apparently came to your website.
I apparently came to your website… I apparently came to your website around a month ago for some reason. I do not remember why... But, for whatever reason, I signed up for a 30 day free trial and gave you my CC number. I rarely ever do something like this... either way, I noticed the charge on my debit card statement over the weekend and this morning addressed it with Thomas from Customer Service. I was a little frustrated by it, he calmly read my chat message and assured me he would take care of it. Within minutes I received an email cancelling the subscription and refunding my money. Thomas was curteous, professional, quick, and thorough. This is the kind of customer service I WISH all companies had. Especially technical type companies where you rarely get to speak with a human or a person that you can understand. Thank you for hiring people like Thomas. Thank you for your customer service policies. If ever, I need a service like this, it will be yours.

This review is based on experience with the program itself I loved it.
This review is based on experience with the program itself I loved it. It was simple to use and I loved that I could save my documents and go back in and edit them again whenever I wanted. The only thing I didn't really like was the price. I opted to go with the monthly subscription because I knew I didn't need the program for a long period of time. I have used other programs on a monthly service before and have paid cheaper. However, still loved the overall use of the program, and I was able to cancel my subscription without an issue as well.
