Save Time
How much time do you and your staff spend searching for information? Over the course of a year, that time adds up! Search time is not productive time—so it pays to reduce it.
How does eSSETS reduce the time spent on info searching, the paper chase, the email trails, the voice mails? Context! It’s all about putting information into the proper context. In eSSETS, every Thing has its Place. A Place can be an organizational unit, like a region, a district, or a group; it can also be a physical location like a campus, a building, an area or even a room. This Place concept provides context for finding stuff: “drilling down” to details, “rolling up” to broad overviews, finding vendors, finding people, making assignments, and getting stuff done!
Save Money
Can an advanced asset management application really save you money? You bet it can! Whether you’re the corporate caretaker, the budgetary baron, the maintenance maven, the property protector, the facility fanatic, you’re concerned with large investments in infrastructure that are important to your organization. When you’re dealing with big dollars, small-percentage savings can add up quickly.
What’s more, because your customers and stakeholders expect things to work reliably, any out-of-service or marginally performing assets taint the reputation of the departments responsible and the organization at large.
- Preventive maintenance costs less than corrective maintenance.
- Preemptive inspections cost less than fines by government agencies, not to mention damage resulting from negative publicity.
- Taking advantage of warranty coverage costs less than not.
- Finding info about a service provider, or about service history on a thing, in a few clicks, saves time over digging through filing cabinets or making phone calls—and time is money!
- Providing insurance companies with evidence of effective asset-management processes can result in direct savings on premiums. A point here, a point there, it all adds up!
- Energy costs are steadily marching higher. Knowing the relative energy costs of your portfolio can point out the pigs and highlight the savings opportunities.
Get Organized
An organized paper filing system is a great thing. Your accounting department may file invoices/work orders in vendor folders in chronological order. As long as you remember which vendor worked on which assets during which time frame, then you can call accounting and have them thumb through the files to look up what you need.
Or maybe you keep your own filing system, where instead of filing invoices by vendor, you file them by facility and an asset ID within the facility. Or maybe you have folders by type of asset. Either way, if you have a filing system and accounting has a filing system, you are adding up time, effort, and paper—and multiplying confusion.
eSSETS brings organization and efficiency to this process. When you receive a hard-copy invoice, scan it and attach it to an asset Activity record. When someone needs it, the invoice can be found several ways: by vendor, by asset, by cost category, by date. Plus, any authorized person who may need that invoice can find it, when they need it, wherever they are.
Customers and Stakeholders
They are why our businesses exist. They expect things to work, engines to run, wheels to turn, gears to mesh, burners to light, temperatures to be in range, inspections to pass—all with minimal costs. Get in front of it with eSSETS!
In most situations, preventive measures trump corrective ones. eSSETS is an informational tool that reminds you what should be done, and when, to preempt costly downtime.
Reduce Risk
Stuff happens. Even the best people and support systems can’t prevent all adversity. However, you can significantly reduce the probability of trouble by using best practices in physical inventories, inspections, and maintenance. eSSETS can help, with tracking tools, reminders, and documentation support when and where you need it.
- Reduce risk of theft with regular physical inventories
- Reduce risk of lost production with routine inspections and maintenance of equipment
- Reduce risk of injury to employees and others with inspections and maintenance
- Reduce the risk of fines and bad publicity, by preparing for outside inspections with simulated internal inspections
- Identify trends in condition metrics and cost measures, to anticipate problems and opportunities
Find Stuff Faster
eSSETS excels in answering questions of “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “how much.” Context-based searching is faster than thumbing through paper files, especially when those paper files might be in a different office, a different building, a different city. With eSSETS, you’ll store that document once and retrieve it any time, from anywhere you can access a web browser. Search by vendor, by asset location, asset type, brand, serial number, date range—eSSETS gives you many ways to find what you need, when you need it.
Work from Wherever
Professionals on the move shouldn’t be constrained just because they are not physically in the office. eSSETS provides freedom of movement without losing access to important information.
Software as a Service (SaaS) Reliability
Our web app, or as the industry likes to call it, "Software as a Service," saves your company from the headaches of acquiring and maintaining servers, applying patches and software release updates, and the myriad of other headaches that go with traditional on-premise software. We maintain the software, and manage the database and backups for you so you can focus on results.
In addition to ongoing software enhancements which are rigorously tested, our delivery infrastructure is rock solid.
- Servers housed in a Category A, PCI-compliant data center with controlled access points.
- N+1 power systems with multiple battery and diesel power sources in case of public utility failure.
- RAID 10 - RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a way of storing the same data on multiple hard disks to improve performance and increase fault tolerance. RAID 10 provides increased write speeds and rebuild performance when compared to other RAID types. In the rare event a hard drive fails, the server continues to operate and the failed drive is seamlessly replaced.
