When it comes to asset management, visible expenses are merely a portion of the total cost. Energy inefficiency, idle machinery, and postponed repairs are examples of hidden expenses that frequently lurk beneath the surface, subtly depleting resources and affecting operational effectiveness. Addressing these hidden costs is essential for improving profitability and optimizing asset value.

Tracket is a cutting-edge web-based platform that directly addresses these issues. It enables companies to easily and precisely identify and remove inefficiencies.

Imagine Rachel, an operations manager for a mid-sized manufacturing company. And like many experts in her field, Rachel found it difficult to pinpoint and get rid of the hidden expenses that hindered her company’s asset management procedure. Additionally, her budget was getting drained by reactive maintenance, outdated equipment, and inefficient energy consumption. Unfortunately, she couldn’t pinpoint the sources of these problems. This was the case until she found Tracket.

Wasting Resources Without Realizing It

Before Tracket, Rachel noticed that her electricity bills were concerningly high for certain facilities, but couldn’t figure out why. With Tracket’s maintenance activity tracking, Rachel started recording each service and inspecting their assets. She soon found out that old equipment was using a lot more energy than modern models. Tracket’s alerts and service logs helped her prioritize upgrades and optimize maintenance schedules, reducing overall energy use. Over time, the savings made a noticeable impact on her operational budget.

Assets that Drain without Delivering

While checking the company’s inventory, Rachel discovered her employer had several expensive pieces of equipment sitting idly in storage. They had been bought for particular tasks, but after they were completed, they were forgotten. With Tracket’s real-time asset tracking, Rachel had complete insight into the location and usage of each asset. Equipped with this knowledge, she converted idle equipment into useful resources by redistributing unused equipment to projects that required it. This modification increased the return on investment and decreased unnecessary purchases.

The Cost of Inaction

Once, Rachel’s business was forced to shut down due to a malfunction in a crucial production line, resulting in thousands of dollars in lost productivity. Determined not to let the same thing happen twice, Rachel used Tracket’s preventive maintenance tools. Automated alerts were ensured that no repair or inspection was missed, and thorough service records provided accountability for her team. As a result, Rachel saved her business a lot of money by resolving problems before they became more serious, as well as extending the lifespan of their assets, which also reduced downtime.

The Cost of Ownership

Justifying budget requests for asset upgrades or replacements was one of Rachel’s toughest tasks. Fortunately, this problem was resolved by Tracket’s depreciation tracker, which offered transparent information on each asset’s depreciation value over time. Rachel was able to convince her leadership team to replace outdated equipment by using Tracket’s thorough reports. In addition to assisting her in obtaining funds, this transparency gave her the confidence to make plans for her future.

Hidden expenses in asset management can subtly reduce profitability and hinder growth, but they don’t have to. Like Rachel, companies can use Tracket to find and fix inefficiencies so that all of their assets run as efficiently as possible. From cutting down on energy waste and turning on inactive equipment to avoiding expensive repairs and facilitating data-driven decision-making, Tracket turns hidden expenses into apparent chances for success and savings.
