I manage operations for a small company with three locations, and our stuff constantly drifts between buildings. Laptops, monitors, test equipment, even a few power tools — nobody ever updates the spreadsheet, and half the time I find out something’s missing when I need it urgently. I’ve spent whole mornings just driving between sites to physically check where things are. I keep hearing people mention asset tracking but honestly I don’t even know where to start. Can something like that actually work for a non-technical team that’s never used anything beyond Excel? What’s the bare minimum setup that won’t scare off my staff? I just need to know what’s where without playing detective every day.
