Accurately recording where assets have been installed or deployed
Accurate records of asset deployment are essential to ensure complete and timely billing, establish future definitive costing models and to comply with safety legislation. Amber and Amethyst provide a complete and easily interrogated database and records system, which when coupled with Today can be updated in real time and ensure date is validated at the point of entry.
Reducing metering stock levels
To gain competitive advantage it is important to ensure you hold the optimum stock level. Amethyst enables you to establish accurate reorder levels based on actual stock throughput times. Accurately forecast usage rates based on planned work and raise replenishment orders on a just in time basis.
Managing warranties and fault trends
Amber and Amethyst enable full warranty details to be recorded and maintained against individual assets. This ensures fully recovery of warranty claims in the unfortunate circumstances of asset failure. It also identifies failure trends and the planning of remedial and preventative actions.
When coupled with our scheduling and mobile work force solution GRASP, our asset tracking applications Amethyst and Amber can manage stock levels and replenishment orders down to individual van or operative level based on actual planned work and set replenishment levels.
Track who should be billed for rental costs
Assets such as meters and solar panels do not change location but the organisation responsible for lease payments, such as energy suppliers, can change on a frequent but irregular basis. Where industry process are in place, such as the DTC and RGMA data transfers in the energy markets, Amethyst helps ensure asset funders receive accurate and timely data to ensure completeness and continuity of rental income.
Minimising metering stock losses
JUMBO has the ability to record assets throughout the entire supply chain cycle from receipt from manufacture to final installation. Stock utilisation and potential losses can be accurately monitored.
