IntroductionBassetPro is a system to help manage an inventory of physical assets.
This could be IT equipment, desks and chairs, heritage assets and artwork,
safety equipment, archival files, production or test equipment, tools
and jigs for maintenance, air conditioning equipment. Comprehensive import and export capabilities mean that information can readily be exchanged with back end systems such as SAP, Oracle or Freebalance. Read on... RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)RFID Tags can be used in place of bar coded asset identification tags, but there are at this time some technical limitations, which mean that although RFID is an effective solution for some applications (such as file tracking and managing heritage assets), it can have severe limitations in other applications. Contact SageData directly for more information, or to see if your application is suitable for RFID. Variants.There are three variants of BassetPro: Standard, Advanced and Lite. StandardThe standard configuration is suitable for most medium to large corporations, or an organisation within the Federal Government. This provides a networked application working with a central server, enabling many users to access data. Multiple hand held computers, operating in batch or RF mode, can verify and update the data. AdvancedThe advanced variant includes all the features of the standard option, and includes consolidated reporting, a data sentinal for backup insurance, automated email notification, the ability to manage images, a dedicated loan function, maintenance functions, MSL capability, scheduling of inspections or maintenance activity, and SKU functionality. LiteThe "lite" variation of the product is intended for small and SoHo businesses, or for smaller teams which are part of a bigger organisation. History.BassetPro was first introduced in 1993, inspired by a project for Health
Canada. Since then we have installed many hundreds of instances of this
project in Ottawa, across Canada, and around the world. A year or so
back we had a request for support from the Tower of London! |
