What is assetTRAX ?

• assetTRAX is asset management software that
  TALKS
• It is the most accurate, easiest to use and the
  FASTEST to use asset management software
  available
• Physical Inventory mode makes childs play of
  doing an inventory of a trailer, truck, or
  building full of tools or equipment
• The line at your tool crib will disappear and
  probably for the first time you will really know
  where all of your tools are.

3
How does it work?

• Enter an employee number
• Enter the location that the tools are going to
• Enter the tool numbers, as fast as you like!
• Listen for the audio Issue that confirms the
  tool was really issued
• Or listen for the word Turn In confirming the
  tool was turned into the tool crib
• We include our custom Label Maker software
  designed around the assetTRAX program
• Any existing alphanumeric numbering system will
  work for both employee numbers and tool numbers
  up to 50 characters each

4
Physical Inventory ModeHow does it work?

• Enter your employee number location
• Enter the building/truck/trailer number (the
  parent barcode number) to be inventoried
• Answer Yes to the question Yes to issue
  children?
• As fast as you can, scan all barcodes in sight,
  listening for assetTRAX to say Turn In
• You only need to look at the screen when you hear
  something other than Turn In
• Enter Quantity is said when there are more than
  one item with this barcode number, i.e. cribbing,
  carbiners, bandages, bags of saline solution,
  etc.
• Issue is said, telling you this item does not
  belong in this place. Change the Parent Barcode
  number on the spot OR move it to where it belongs

  pain in the neck
