Facets Physical Asset Management solution goes RFID at SABC


Johannesburg, 03 Jul 2014

When assets are physical items it is important to actually see the item and then have a means of confirmation that you have seen it. In certain cases - it is not easy to scan or reach the asset - even if it is seen. This is the case at the SABC with studio lighting and artworks. To solve this problem Cradle Technology Services has added RFID capability to the Facets system and together with EOH, have implemented this technology at the SABC.

The Facets Physical Asset Management (PAM) solution allows you to capture, identify, move, update, transact and report so you know where you can find and asset or where to look for them when they are not found.

Facets has been designed to satisfy a growing demand In the market for an innovative, simple to use asset scanning and tracking system.

The Cradle developed and owned Facets software allows us to provide integration to various accounting systems such as Pastel, Accpac, Syspro or SAP and we have the ability to expand to others.

Cradle's principal of keeping it simple also allows for export to Excel which can then be easily imported into any ERP or accounting system, should integration not be a budgeted option.
