Businesses have historically run into problems when trying to track and manage shipments, particularly related to the complex movement of end user devices via various shipping carriers. As more and more workers work from home or in remote locations away from a main office, this problem has grown in scope.
In the absence of a centralized platform to hold information around tracking and managing asset location along the transit process, establishing a physical chain of custody for equipment being used by remote employees, business leaders leave themselves open for incurring the costs associated with replacing these items later.
Many organizations have resorted to using paper spreadsheets to track company-owned assets, which lack the transparency of a centralized system.
