- This included offices in Newbury, Exeter, Bristol and Plymouth
|
| Solution |
- Pickfords specialist Interiors division provided Asset King, its unique software system designed to capture and catalogue company assets
- A trained Asset Management team carried out a detailed survey of the Association’s existing buildings to capture all assets including: desks, chairs, pedestals, storage cabinets, AV equipment, televisions, coat racks, white boards, racking, kitchen appliances, shredders and safes.
- Asset King was configured to create the categories defined by Sovereign
- A bar coded Asset Label with a unique number was attached to each item during the survey
- A detailed description of each item was added to the database by the Asset Management team
|
| Result |
- 5,000 assets were captured by a team of two experienced Asset Managers over a period of ten working days, covering six separate buildings
- The team at Sovereign was provided with a unique log-in to gain access to the database
- Asset King provides bespoke reporting to ensure Sovereign keeps control of its assets. The team can run reports, search for assets, sort assets, run specific requests and add and remove new assets.
