An Introduction to BassetPro Inspections Solution

SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Overview

Intelligence is key to the success of any project or operation. In this sense, intelligence means knowledge - knowing what you have, what is happening, and what issues require attention. BassetPro delivers information that enables critical decisions to be made, and as such, it is a key tool for managers at all levels.

The delivery of information that is timely and accurate requires three steps: collection, analysis and presentation. SageData products are built around automatic identification, with mobile units used to ensure that data collection is easy, fast, accurate and complete. This enables high levels of data integrity. A user can rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the reports from this system.

What does BassetPro do?

These systems can be used in any material management situation. They are used to track fixed assets, manage warehouse operations, perform inspections and control dangerous materials.

The inspection management variant is an extension of the basic asset management product. The inventory check element of the Asset Management product requires the user to visit each asset to confirm it is present. The inspection variant confirms that it is present and correct - that it is checked for operation and installation, not just for being there…

The system provides for routes to be defined, and for specific questions to be set for each item. There can be different levels of inspection, hourly, daily, monthly, annual. Checks can be cursory (any visible damage) or detailed (measure and record the voltage). Notes can be attached. Follow up actions can be flagged.
The system can be used for security personnel, to make sure all check points are visited, and to provide instruction (check that the door is locked).

Who is SageData?
