Asset Management In Defence
Defence industry asset tracking systems requirements are uniquely complex due to the high cost, technical sophistication, and critical nature of the assets involved. Effective asset management in this sector demands specialised maintenance, comprehensive lifecycle management, readiness for deployment, integration of advanced technologies, and strict regulatory compliance. These factors collectively ensure that defence assets remain dependable, effective, and ready to support national security objectives at all times.
Hardcat solutions solve complex problems and delivers on our commitment to ensure mission success with our expert asset and maintenance management, inventory, tracking and accountability, tool management and mobility solutions. Track assets, inventory, personnel and documents as well as evidence.
Leaner, More Flexible And Responsive Operations
The specialised nature of defence assets necessitates maintenance and support that go beyond standard procedures. Each piece of equipment often has unique maintenance schedules, requiring highly trained personnel and specialised tools. The tracking and management of this specialised maintenance is critical to ensure the longevity and operational efficiency of defence assets. No matter the size of the operation or deployment, Hardcat will give you total control over every item used in any situation.
Asset Management In Defence – Readiness For Deployment
One of the most critical requirements in defence asset management is maintaining readiness for deployment. This involves asset tracking systems to ensure that assets can be deployed quickly and are in a state of operational readiness at all times, which can be particularly challenging given the complexity and technical nature of the equipment. Readiness involves not only the physical state of the assets but also the location of assets, availability of trained personnel, the adequacy of spare parts, and the readiness of support systems.
Asset Tracking Systems – Functionality
Hardcat’s asset management in defence solutions are battle-tested to ensure they meet and exceed the toughest expectations from defence forces around the world. The software has been developed utilising the Hardcat nGen® platform, a model driven technology allowing military personnel to adjust our system accordingly to meet their requirements rather than changing their processes to fit the solution. Hardcat solutions reduce defence spending on new supplies that were not needed and on storing old supplies that were out of date and ready for disposal.
Hardcat solutions empower defence forces with greater asset availability and issuance performance across its platforms ensuring the assets are ready where they are needed. Our solutions leverage over 15 years of working with defence forces globally. We continue to deliver superior value by seamlessly linking personnel, vehicles, equipment, vessels and medical supplies, even in the most remote locations, outside of cellular range, via our mobility apps using rugged Barcode and RFID.
