FMDepartment.com includes a very flexible asset management system capable of tracking everything from building components to office supplies. The facilities manager can define complex products such as systems furniture that include a bill-of-materials or simple items like keys and cell phones that can be assigned directly to individuals.

Once products are defined then assets can be added by inserting symbols in AutoCAD or by using FMDepartment.com forms. Unique information about each asset can be recorded including a barcode number, purchase date and price. The system then tracks the asset from purchase through to disposition including depreciation, condition, warranties and insurance.

The result is an accurate accounting of corporate assets, their location, department, condition and value.
