How to get started?
Simply select the equipment, create the data, and attach labels to the physical assets. Trail empowers smart, digital equipment management—but it's the people who drive success through effective implementation.
How to ensure the adoption of new ways of working?
Understanding the importance of digital equipment management and the common goal with the change are keys to achieving wider buy-in. It's good to highlight the achievable benefits during the implementation, such as cost savings, more efficient recycling and reuse, and saved time.
What is the best label for us?
There are various types of labels available, and selecting high-quality labels is essential to prevent issues like fading or wear and tear. We recommend investing in your own printing capabilities to streamline inventory management and easily replace misplaced labels. Additionally, it's important to consider the surface where the label will be applied to ensure it adheres properly and doesn't come loose or interfere with the use of the asset.
From which department should we start?
We recommend starting with a well-defined selection of equipment. The ideal equipment should be tangible, measurable, and easily understood. For example, in schools, AV or media equipment serves as a good starting point. In rescue services, vehicles would be the primary focus, while in the performing arts, lighting and sound equipment offer a practical starting scope.
