Alerts and Flags
Taken together, Alerts and Flags can help immensely with asset management. They allow you to reactively stay on top of necessary actions, such as maintenance. The system does the monitoring work for you, freeing up time and reducing worries so you can focus on less mundane tasks.
Alerts
Scanlily allows you to set alerts for when attributes reach or surpass values that you set. This saves you a lot of work in managing your inventory and equipment.
For inventory management:
Let Scanlily tell you when to restock items that have fallen below a certain quantity.
For equipment management:
Enable your staff and customers to flag items as broken or needing repair. Receive an alert if something requires your attention.
