Orem, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/11/2013 -- Assets may mean different things to different people even within the same organization. A business must clearly define what its assets are, how many of them they have, their value and where they all are at any given time if the company is to be efficient, profitable and survive in today’s competitive industrial business environment.

The value of an asset depends on its intended use and the amount of money that can be earned by selling it or saved by using it wisely in a production or other process. Assets are not always physical; a company may count its intellectual property and its software systems as assets. Regardless of whether assets are physical or intellectual, asset tracking and inventory management are key components that allow organizations to manage their assets and inventory to their greatest advantage according to Fishbowl Inventory.
