Asset Identification & Verification (AIV)
The purpose of our AIV process is first and foremost to deliver an accurate asset register aligned to the client's requirements (Financial and Operational) as well as industry best practices and industry standards such as ISO 55000, IFRS, GRAP, GAAP, PFMA, MFMA
Get rid of the UNKNOWN
With our AIV process we aim to answer the following questions that most organisations struggle with:
​
-
What assets do I own and where are they located?
-
Are all my assets uniquely identifiable and marked e.g. with a bar coded label?
-
What are the characteristics of my assets and in what condition is my assets?
-
Am I tracking the movements of my assets properly or at all?
-
Is my asset tree hierarchy/ structure-built aligned to my operational and reporting requirements?
-
Is my asset register verified and aligned to my auditor's standards and requirements?
-
When will certain assets require replacement and what is the value of my existing asset inventory?

​
​Each project presents its own set of challenges and requirements, and as such our AIV team does not work in isolation but rather includes client staff and stakeholders in the whole process. This ensures client inclusion, data ownership and a sustainable solution the client can use going forward.
Custom Mobile Application
EAMS has developed a comprehensive suite of mobile applications that is completely customised to the project and the client's requirements.
All our data collection apps comes standard with built-in safety and risk reporting, barcode and QR code scanning, customised drop-downs, look-ups, GEO Location Recording, User access restrictions, File scanning and uploading, On-device sign-off and report generation and distribution capabilities.
Hand-held Devices
Manually collecting and capturing large volumes of data is time consuming and can be fraught with human error. In conjunction with our app suite, our field teams uses mobile hand-held devices to speed up the process and improve the accuracy of the data that is collected.

Asset Labels, we've got you covered!
It is sometimes difficult to know what type of label to apply to your assets. Lean on our experience to assist and guide you through the literally hundreds of variations, sizes and designs of asset labels out there. Apart from our AIV service, we also supply asset labels to clients that can range from the very simple to the quite intricate. The high-definition print quality on the labels permits the inclusion of company logos and descriptive text on a label in single or multi-colour, even on a small label, resulting in a barcode which is attractive and ideal for scanning equipment.
How to set up asset naming conventions for better maintenance
Give your maintenance guys a brief verbal description of a repair and they’ll know exactly what you’re talking about. “Which generator unit? The one in the storage room in the sub facility by the tool shelf? Gotcha!”
Four Ways to Organize your Asset Hierarchy and Locate Assets
Assets in your CMMS are arranged in a hierarchal structure, kind of like folders and files are laid out on your computer.
