Streamlined Methods to Track Assets to Locations and/or Users

The Connect ONE Asset Management Module provides streamlined methods to track assets to locations and/or users including the generation of custom user authorization templates upon issuing and/or returning. A specified return date will notify the assigned user via email if overdue.

  • Create assets and assign to location for quick check of where they are located
  • Issue assets to users and automatically send a customized authorization template for the person to approve and sign via email. Once completed the form is converted to a pdf and recorded with their user account in Connect ONE for archive.
  • Return assets from users with a template sign-off option
  • Optionally specify a return date upon issuing the asset. If the asset is not returned by the date then the user will receive an email stating it is overdue.
  • Auto-populate the asset database from a csv spreadsheet
  • Earn Additional RMR!

  • Safe Passage
    • The Safe Passage module provides a framework for a one-time/periodic self-approval process. If required and not completed, upon access by the individual, violation events are generated so a manager can ensure the user is safe to be at the site in regard to health and/or hazard concerns. Documentation is stored with the user account showing they have answered the proper questions and approved any company terms such as an NDA.
  • Weather Monitoring
    • The Weather Monitoring Module monitors 6 weather metrics, updated every 30-60 minutes: 1. Temperature, 2. Relative Humidity, 3. Current Condition, 4. Wind Speed, 5. Barometric Pressure, 6. Dew Point. Each of the metrics can be programmed with a low and high threshold limit which can deliver notifications and interact with other devices onsite such as the alarm/access systems and thermostats. Historical reporting is also possible for each metric which can show readings recorded over a time period.
