EZOfficeInventory SMB allows you to easily track and manage the assets of the company (the cloud)

RIP Empson-writer at TechCrunch. He did not find friends here, he is here to win and you don't forget it. You can contact him at rip [at] techcrunch [dot] com ? more

Office list control systems: not exactly the world's sexiest software to be sure. Nevertheless, without inventory and asset management systems, many businesses likely will work similar pace DMV. Currently, small and medium-sized businesses have no shortage of funds to choose from when selecting a software system for tracking asset management and inventory; However, most of these settings requires working tirelessly with Excel or using a desktop product like TurboSystems data or, in the village of FoxFales, to name a few. If the company has more than a few dozen staff, however, Excel, and desktop solutions can be a pain in the ass.

Ali Sayeed, a former employee of Sun Microsystems (before the company was acquired by Oracle) and his team and software geeks, said that they were tired of having to deal with repeated instances of inventory of obsolete and mismanagement in the modern tracking solutions. Saeed said that he and his team collectively has worked with many different companies that, for example, actually keep property lists, but specific information related to who has what (as track records check outs) are often completely missing or worse deprecated — not to speak of the fact that the wrong assets often are assigned the wrong employee even may not work in the company anymore.

As you can imagine, very numerous. To help solve these problems, Syed and his team today are EZOfficeInventory, SaaS-based solution that untraditionally asset management approaches through the delegation model, in which responsibility is shared by the inventory, reducing the load on administrators.

The solution allows the assets of the joint bureaux will be tracked easily through check-in and check-out mechanism for staff members, as well as the activities of news to administrators, allowing them to review and take responsibility only when necessary. Employees can also find free tools that they need to carry out its work and can instantly access the guides and drivers.

Since the EZOfficeInventory live in the cloud solution uses QRCodes as asset tags so that asset with a unique URL in QRCode, employees can quickly provides links to information on capital assets and determine the rightful owner, if something is lost. And employees can do this with a quick scan of the iPhone or Android device with QRCode reader and Web client.

The decision also works to minimize efforts during inspections, as administrators can request photos of an asset or other custom workflows from employees by using a few mouse clicks. EZOffice also allows administrators to view reports, track the checkouts and checkins, total cost of ownership and even serve the story on their assets.

Companies can also change the security settings in their decision that it was compatible with existing business processes and add additional privacy features when needed.

Some readers may find the following images news like Basecamp (a well-known product released by 37Signals, the same company is home to David Heinemeier Hansson, the guy who created the Ruby on Rails). EZOfficeInventory is also implemented in Ruby on Rails, as Saeed said that he is an avid fan "in the Web development platform.

EZOfficeInventory offers a free trial of the two months of its cloud app with packages for more than two users, starting at $ 29 per month.

Asset management system is still in very early stage (seed and start-up) at the moment and there is work to be done on Web design and user interface (and name), but the software itself attacked a major pain for many small and medium-sized enterprises.

At the time of deposit of the responsibility for the management of the assets in the hands of staff (along with, of course, the system of checks and balances) may well be to increase the efficiency and confidence among these employees, it is risky. But Saeed said it was "part of the fun of mergers with Web development and the process of using Web technologies to target the problem of the enterprise. This shot of the status quo, and the Director-General believes that this shot is worth taking, despite the risk.
