– ABSTRACT
Organizations face a huge challenge in monitoring the details, quantity, working
condition, depreciation, and maintenance status of assets in their organization.
The issue is faced not only by large organizations but also in smaller
organizations. Assets are kept in records by means of inventory. The need to
monitor these records of assets constantly is efficient management of the assets
inventory of an organization to maximize the organization‘s value resulting in
established and intangible assets to be located easily, in a more reliable and
efficient manner. It helps with tracking the whereabouts, quantity, working
conditions, depreciation, and maintenance status of all assets. A detailed list of all
assets in the organization displaying their description, inventory number,
respective location, working condition (status) and all other details will be always
available.
With the advent of ever evolving technology, today‘s fast-paced world has adapted
itself to the convenience of having data digitalized and easily accessible. This
growth has influenced majority of organizations to have their very own digital
database systems over the years. It overcomes the manual-based spreadsheet
system, which is usually characterized by errors, loss of data, varying reports, or
difference in results at stages involved and helps cut down maintenance costs by
managing all the information efficiently.
The Asset Management System is a project that aims at creating an application
that will be used to store data of the Organization‘s mobile assets, devices,
fixtures, inventory, maintenance activities etc.
The front end provides an interactive forefront for the managing authority of the
Organization to access the inventories information through a simple login via a
website developed using HTML, CSS, PHP. The back end consists of all detailed
record of assets in the organization which is achieved by creating the database
using MySQL, PHP, XAMPP.
The application was tested and evaluated for usability and functionality using
appropriate dummy test data and can be accessed from any terminal with Internet
access and the login credentials.
