Asset QR Code

Overview

The Enterprise Service Management (ESM) system asset/ci module enables the easy management, maintenance, and tracking of inventory items. Each asset entered in to ESM has a unique Quick Response (QR) code assigned. The QR Code can be printed out and affixed to the asset to allow for rapid access to the asset's record within the ESM system which can facilitate equipment loan programs, as well as inventory checks.
