At Link Labs, we stress the importance of implementing an asset tracking solution into your business to boost the overall efficiency of your manufacturing or logistics operations. An asset tracking system provides your business with the ability to keep tabs on all of your valuable assets as they move from location to location and throughout the supply chain. Your company can then use this crucial data to become more efficient by reducing inventory loss and theft, keeping track of important records, ensuring proper equipment maintenance, and much more.
We know that an effective asset tracking solution will improve the productivity, efficiency, and safety of your company. However, the question remains - what is a complete end-to-end asset tracking solution, and why does it matter? Continue reading to learn more about why having a complete end-to-end asset tracking solution matters and how Link Labs' solution can benefit your manufacturing and logistics operations!
What is an End-to-End Solution?
In the asset tracking world, a complete end-to-end solution refers to an all-in-one software-driven IoT platform that enables the rapid deployment of easy, affordable, and impactful asset tracking no matter where you are. A complete end-to-end solution will provide your company with all of the hardware and software needed to properly locate your assets simply, securely, and affordably. When an asset tracking solution is not a complete end-to-end solution, your company will not be provided with the full package that includes all the necessary benefits of a great solution. A complete end-to-end solution provides the following:
Security
With an end-to-end solution, your company will have a combined solution that shows the location of your assets and stores crucial data. When your company has a solution that has a system that tracks the location of your assets and stores crucial data, there is less of a security risk.
Simplicity
Having a solution that is simple to use can boost the overall efficiency of your company as a whole. An end-to-end solution makes asset tracking simple by using only one system instead of combining multiple. An all-in-one solution is easy to set up, making your data easily accessible.
Affordability
An end-to-end asset tracking solution is much more affordable when your company has one system that can do it all rather than paying more for separate systems.
Manufacturing and logistics companies face many pressures in their daily operations as they are expected to have things finished or delivered on time. In this line of business, your company can never be entirely sure of when a bottleneck could arise throughout the workday. Through an end-to-end asset tracking solution, your company will be given the ability to prevent bottlenecks from happening in the first place by providing complete visibility of your assets through setting geographical locations, zones, historical locations, and current locations that utilize customized alerting, reports, and analytics to meet your specific needs. By setting geofences, trigger alerts will tell you when the tag is leaving a zone, moving into a zone, or moving between zones. These alerts will allow your company to plan for any bottlenecks or inefficiencies during production or throughout the supply chain.
