SAP Asset Tracking
Asset Tracking is the practice of understanding all the physical assets that a company has and tracking them. Examples of physical assets are generators, vehicles, computers, or other equipment. Most often this is done by a GPS tracking system, a bar code scanner or a RFID (radio-frequency identification device). Asset tracking is a good practice for all businesses, but it is becoming a necessity in some industries.
