The Definitive Guide To Asset Labeling

We’ve all been there – trying to read the serial number embedded on a cylinder, tote, or other returnable asset wondering if one of the digits should be a ‘3’, an ‘8’, or a ‘B.'

And this could be particularly painful if you’re a chemical or gas distributor having to determine exactly which asset was delivered and returned from customers. Fortunately, TrackAbout’s innovative technology automates this otherwise painstaking and error-prone manual process using smartphones and labels.

Renting Durable Medical Equipment – whether it’s a wheelchair, bed, or an oxygen concentrator – provides a lifeline for patients in hospitals, hospices, and homes across the U.S.

But getting the equipment where it needs to be, by a certain time, and to the right recipient is far tougher if you can’t accurately monitor and track its location.

Questions to Ask Before Buying Asset Tracking Software
