Compliance is a challenge:
This top U.S. bank needed an asset management system that would deliver real-time, accurate information, so they could ensure company compliance with regulatory, financial and corporate requirements. They’d been relying on an outdated system that wasn’t able to be modified for their specific banking needs, only got them to 70% compliance and even then, often had a 72-hour lag time between activity happening and the system recording. This meant by the time they were aware of any issues, the assets had moved, and they were left constantly trying to play catch up. This meant a decrease in overall productivity and increases in operational costs.
To address their need for accurate, real-time data the bank researched available hardware asset management solutions to find one that offered:
- Accurate, real-time reporting
- Barcode and RFID asset tracking
- Process control
- Performance data & analytics
