Guide to Returnable Asset Management

If you're not using an asset tracking system, there's a good chance your business owns far more returnable assets than your records show.

“In many cases, companies discover they have 20–30% more cylinders than they thought after just a couple years of tracking,” says Doug O’Dell, Account Executive at TrackAbout. “That means the business was overcapitalized and undervalued — often by millions.”

He shares the story of a company that was sold under the assumption it owned 750,000 cylinders. After the sale, the new owners began using TrackAbout to track their containers — and soon discovered they actually had over one million in circulation, without having purchased a single additional unit. Considering each empty cylinder is valued at around $250, it was a significant and eye-opening discovery.

Feature Spotlight: Simplified Manifest Printing in TrackAbout

Businesses transporting hazardous goods are required to produce an accurate manifest that shows what – and how much – they’re carrying onboard, at all times.  

To stay compliant with these strict U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, drivers loading their trucks each morning typically print out a physical copy of their manifest before they head out on the road. As they deliver assets to customers or pick up empty containers, it’s their responsibility to manually update the manifest to keep track of everything.
