01 · The problem
What problem does it solve?
A 400-person company has 1,300 assets across three floors and two sites: laptops, monitors, printers, servers, UPS units and furniture. The register is a spreadsheet updated when someone remembers.
When people leave, laptops go missing. A UPS failed the week after its AMC lapsed. The annual audit takes two people a week, and the depreciation schedule never matches the register.
Lost assets
Laptops not returned when people leave.
Lapsed cover
Repairs paid that warranty would have covered.
Slow audits
A week of counting with a printout.
Book mismatch
Accounts and the register disagree.
