The College of Cape Town has selected Facets Physical Asset Management (PAM) Solution and services from Cradle Technology Services and partner, DLK Group, in order to achieve its required asset compliance.
The College of Cape Town selected Facets because of its simplicity and ability to track, trace, identify and locate physical assets, providing the college with a real world picture of the physical assets at its central office and at each of its eight campuses and three residences.
Cradle spent a number of days at each site, tagging each and every physical asset with a bar coded aluminium asset tag capturing details about the asset, such as category, type, make, model, serial number, status and condition, allocating them to their assigned room numbers using a bar coded location tag.
This has provided the College of Cape Town with a comprehensive database of its more than 13 000 physical assets and its physical locations by campus and room number.
The capture process was conducted utilising the Facets mobile application on industrial mobile computers, with built-in bar code scanners, touchscreen and keyboard functionality.
The user-friendly Facets desktop application will be used by the College of Cape Town in future to add new assets to the database (register), scrap old assets, modify condition or status of assets, add notes/events to a particular asset, move the asset from one location to another, conduct regular audits and export detailed Microsoft Excel reports.
Facets PAM Solution is developed, owned and supported by Cradle's passionate development and support team, and the company is proud to add the College of Cape Town to its family of Facets users, which includes the South African Parliament, Groupon, UCT, Financial Services Board, Rotek and the SABC.
