Asset Management and Storage Technology

BIM: A shared knowledge resource

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. It is a central resource for tracking facility assets and can integrate into your CAFM facilities management software. The resulting building information model becomes a shared knowledge resource to support decision-making about a facility from its earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction, then through its operational life before its eventual demolition. BIM bridges the information loss associated with handing a project from the design team to the construction team and then to the building owner/operator, by allowing each group to add to and reference back to all information they acquire during their period of contribution to the BIM model.

The SnapTracker™ Database

SnapTracker software is a leading asset management program endorsed by several major furniture manufacturers and supported worldwide. Developed by KISP, Inc., it affords great flexibility in creating an asset storage and tracking program to fit an individual company’s needs, going well beyond traditional database management.

Here is just a brief list of the benefits and capabilities of SnapTracker:

• Inventory movement tracking
• Powerful reservation system
• Multiple condition codes
• Location/status alerts
• Identification of costly slow-movers
• User-defined output
• Work order integrity

Hedberg Data Systems

Hedberg™ supports our entire sales, planning, order management, receiving, warehousing, and financial management lifecycle. Quotes are converted into orders, orders are submitted electronically to our manufacturers, and ship dates are auto-populated into the system, making project tracking effortless. Hedberg is compatible with SnapTracker™, following each piece of furniture received and placed in barcoded shelving bays. Prior to installation and following the completion of a project, Hedberg will initiate delivery tickets, track completed deliveries, and ultimately generate the final project invoice.
