Small Items: Asset and Security Marking
From the office to manufacturing, most businesses use a wide variety of small but essential items; from data sticks to small parts and tools, it can be hard to keep track of these smaller items. Due to their size, it's far too easy for these items to be mislaid or even stolen, but there are simple and effective ways to keep track of and deter theft.
A low-tech solution can be to simply etch or mark your items, this is probably fine for personal items but not for business. In business, you need a consistent method that offers a professional solution that can easily expand with your business needs.
Dantech has been working with businesses to help them find the right security and asset labelling solutions and offers a range of small item tracking solutions.
