Adding and Editing Assets

Adding your company’s assets is one of the most crucial tasks you will have to complete early on in your company’s use of Service Automation. Many of the assets that you add, during this process, will undoubtedly be the same assets that will need servicing therefore prompting you to create a service request. Any asset not added will not show when creating a service request.

An additional benefit of having your company’s assets added to your Service Automation account is that you can run analytics reports that gives you granular information in regards to an asset’s cost, repair history, warranty period and location. Many companies have used this information to determine when it is time to replace an asset rather than repair it. Metrics gained from an assets analysis can also be used to determine which brand or model has served you best.
