ASSET MANAGEMENT

Hardcat software is a powerful yet easy to operate modular asset management system with the ability to manage your assets from initial purchase through to final disposal. The Core Module, which all other modules link into, is featured on this page, together with information common to all modules such as minimum system requirements. Click on the links (at right) for information on the other modules.

PURPOSE

Hardcat software provides "cradle to grave" fixed asset management and is able to track every aspect of the asset's life from initial budget proposal through to final disposal. It consists of a Core Asset Management Module and elective modules catering for Purchasing, Barcoding, Depreciation, Help Desk, Maintenance and Stock Control. As a further option, our External Interface Module also allows external applications (eg, web browser, ERP systems) to directly enact various transactions in Hardcat, allowing seamless integration of our best-of-breed asset management into your overall IT solution.

FEATURES

The Core Module, like all Hardcat software, combines highly detailed recording and reporting with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. The level of detail you wish to record is up to you, but may include:
  • asset details (i.e. type, serial number, description)
  • purchase price & current valuation
  • warranty/maintenance dates & costs
  • components and attatchments
  • movement to different locations, cost centres or people
  • associated asset management costs
  • lease & rental information
  • cost centre & ownership
  • supplier and maintenance provider
  • user defined information by asset type
  • change history & audit trail
REPORTS

Hardcat's Core Module is supplied with a Report Generator. System features include:
  • pre-formatted reports
  • custom report writer tool
  • multiple selection & report sorting
  • report generation to various outputs including printer, screen, file, and email
Reporting can include practically any fields and from virtually any area in the system, e.g. Assets, Suppliers, Locations, Personnel, Help Desk, Cost Centres, Purchasing and Depreciation. A comprehensive query facility is also provided to allow the user to target a particular group of assets for reporting purposes.

The reports specific to each optional Hardcat module are explained in more detail on their respective pages within this web site (see above menu to visit these pages).

PROVIDING IMPROVED ASSET CONTROL

Information held against each Asset can be accessed and sorted by virtually any field in the Hardcat database, for example:
  • barcode number;
  • asset number;
  • serial number;
  • asset description;
  • asset type/sub-type standard name;
  • location code;
  • cost centre code;
  • supplier, owner, plus user defined fields (see illustration)
The ability to create user-defined fields enables the user to tailor the database to meet their organizational management information requirements. Fields can be added that are common to all assets, or specific to an asset type. For example, type-specific fields can be created for motor vehicles that refer to the registration, engine type, and fuel requirement, and for PCs refer to processor, memory and hard disk. Suggested default entries can also be configured to save on data entry time.

GRAPHICS AND IMAGING

Hardcat's Core Module Graphics Generator provides system users with instant pictorial representations of all asset information from equipment performance graphs, to pie, line and area charts, etc. Graphics can be used to display photo images for referencing and insurance purposes of asset types, buildings, floor plans or even personnel. System features include:
  • asset location floor-plan images
  • extensive selection of preformatted graphs charts in 2D or 3D
  • facility to copy graphs & images to clipboard
  • photo imaging of high value assets
  • image displays from BMP, PCX, TARGA, JPG, WMF, & PNG files
  • full color screen displays
