In order to ensure the success of any relocation project, the creation of a comprehensive list of all fixed corporate assets is critical. Moving tens of thousands of pieces of electronic equipment, office machines, free-standing furniture, seating units and systems furniture, if not more, is a logistics challenge made easy with The Meehan Consulting Group’s fixed asset inventory program. Such an inventory furnishes a client with a comprehensive catalog of existing assets, including a detailed account of each item with an assessment of its current condition and a description of its location, in order to track future reuse capabilities.

Working in conjunction with a client’s facility manager or management team, Meehan personnel derive a master format for all inventory, and establish area and location codes for the program. Our bar/scan software program enables trained staff to capture all data collected during the physical survey of the client’s premises. This computerized, bar-coded program offers broad capabilities including recording the type of item, manufacturer’s name, model or catalog number, dimensions, finishing material, color, current location, name of user, physical condition and reuse potential.

An essential component of any well-planned relocation project, Meehan’s fixed asset inventory program not only produces a comprehensive catalog of company assets – allowing for cost-effective use of current possessions – but the detailed information recorded also facilitates many other procedures. The inventory report enables the development of depreciation schedules used in tax reports and government reimbursement programs; expedites the securing of adequate, cost-effective insurance coverage or insurance recovery, in case of loss; facilitates the appraisal of company assets as it relates to the purchase of new assets; encourages the establishment of timely maintenance and preventative maintenance programs; addresses the advisability of disposal or liquidation of unwanted furniture; discourages theft, pilferage and unauthorized removal of company assets; and ensures that MIS equipment has been inventoried, guaranteeing that specific hardware corresponds with compatible data lines.
