Many companies use unique AirVote QR Smiley\u00ae stickers as asset tags. Each QR smiley has a unique numer and displayed on the unit or equipment \u2013 why not use it as an asset tag?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are often asked if AirVote is the same as asset tracking software and how it is different. This post attempts to answer the most common questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of asset tracking apps out there. For anyone looking specifically for asset tracking, here is a good directory and a top x list: https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/sem-compare\/asset-tracking-software\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s the difference between AirVote\u00ae and an asset tracker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asset trackers do just what their name implies \u2013 track assets. Traditionally, the only users of the software are the company employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most companies daily use software to manage their business for customer management, scheduling, service routes, etc. Asset tracking is often included there as one of the modules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A word of warning for a stand-alone asset tracking software: it 100% depends on the daily upkeep every time an asset moves or changes its status. For example, let\u2019s take generator equipment. Every time the construction crews go out to the site, they need to scan the generator out of the shop. When they arrive at the worksite, someone needs to scan it \u201cout on-site\u201d. At the end of the day, it needs to get checked back into the shop. It becomes impractical most of the time, and the company management sold on a YouTube video showing thousands of nice rows of assets may soon discover that perfect asset tracking can cost more than it\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a side-by-side feature comparison of AirVote with a standard asset tracking app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Conclusion: the uniqueness of AirVote\u00ae and its difference from an asset tracker is three-fold:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Instead of building full-scale asset tracking capabilities, it integrates with the CRM software of a company.<\/li>
  2. An asset can \u201cauto-correct\u201d its own geolocation \u2013 all without expensive electronics or subscriptions. AirVoteQR Smiley\u00ae can grab the geolocation from the user\u2019s device while the user leaves their feedback. If the company\u2019s software did not properly track the asset for some reason \u2013 human error or oversight (the reality of business), the actual users help correct it! We see it as a more practical use scenario than only relying on the company staff (busy humans) to maintain everything perfectly. <\/li>
  3. Most importantly, with AirVote as an asset tag, a company track assets and <\/em>gathers user feedback about the service quality associated with that asset: month after month, year after year… It is done by presenting \u201can asset tag\u201d in the format of three QR Smileys\u00ae as an interface for the users to provide their feedback.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
