EnTrackAsset provides pay-per-use service with state-of-the-art security norms and 24/7 remote support
May 15, 2012
TrackIT Solutions, pioneer in RFID solutions in the Middle East, launched EnTrackAsset, a complete RFID & Barcode enabled Corporate Asset Tracking Solution on Cloud during the R.F.I.D World Middle East 2012 trade show & exhibition at Abu Dhabi today.
EnTrackAsset is targeted at businesses, facing difficulty in tracking their fixed assets, which may be in a single location or distributed in multiple locations. It delivers the business benefits of effective asset tracking, without the burden of heavy infrastructure and capital investments.
Mr. Soma Sekhar Vedantam, CEO of TrackIT Solutions FZ LLC said, “The application is on the Cloud, so it incurs very little capital expenditure. This is a convenient ‘pay-per-use’ service where the clients can make easy monthly payments. The clients don’t need any other IT infrastructure except a computer and access to the internet. The servers/ data base licenses will be managed by TrackIT. Therefore, practically, the system can be operational right away.”
Emphasizing on the strong uptime for the solution, he explained, “Since the application will be maintained by TrackIT, any issues in the application will be attended to immediately. As the process includes the use of hand held readers, we also provide 24/7 remote support for hand held devices.”
“EnTrackAsset streamlines and automates the process of corporate asset tracking from the asset acquisition stage to its disposal. It helps in effectively managing an organization's physical assets and keeps an effective inventory of assets they own, and how those assets are used throughout. Companies can use EnTrackAsset to reduce their operating costs, decrease maintenance costs, and optimize asset utilization. Our system works great for periodic asset audits. As it is hosted, the updated data can be accessed from anywhere anytime” he added.
How EnTrackAsset works
The system proposed consists of two components: Mobile Handheld readers & Web enabled software application. The web enabled application houses the information about the assets, where as the hand held component would complement this information by providing the necessary accurate and the most ‘current’ information to update the data in the web application. The result is that, the latest up-to-date information about the assets can be pulled from the application at any given time from anywhere, once one has authenticated access to the system.
The assets can be tagged with Ultra High Frequency passive RFID tags or barcodes. The tag IDs are associated with the assets in the system. Once this association is done any reconciliation information on the ground with respect to the assets can be captured on the field by the hand held device and can be synchronized back into the web enabled system thereby ensuring the‘reconciliation’.

Solution includes cloud based system with IVRS technology for data collection from rural schools in real time at significantly lower additional infrastructure cost
March 21, 2012
The Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Hon. Prof. Arthur Muthambra visited Globals ITeS Pvt. Ltd., an SME IT company in Bangalore, to sign a pilot project to implement an Outbound IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) Solution along with a cloud based Education Management Information System (EMIS) for 30 rural schools in Zimbabwe.
Globals’ educube IVRS is creating a wave in Zimbabwe using advanced cloud telephony technology to collect data from rural schools by using existing infrastructure – mobile or fixed phones – giving faster and accurate data to policy makers enabling them to take faster and quicker decisions. This technology will be the first of its kind to be implemented in the education sector in the whole of Africa.
Emphasizing the need for ICT for education in Zimbabwe, Hon. Prof. Arthur Muthambra the Deputy Prime Minister said, “We need innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Zimbabwe to standardize and enhance the content, delivery and management of education to global standards. It will help us to pilot & monitor education in rural areas and provide easy access to quality education to the rural masses in every village in our country. We would also like institutions like IIMs to train the talent in Zimbabwe as well as the Southern African Development Community (SADAC) as a whole. We would also like to copy the IIT and IIM framework for higher education in Zimbabwe.”
Speaking about other sectors, he said, “We are lending economic models from India and China. We are looking towards India to develop and technologically empower our retail banking, agro and manufacturing sector. We have also made considerable investments in developing our human capital. So, there is an immense opportunity for the Indian companies in terms of outsourcing major share of their projects and processes to their counterparts in Zimbabwe.”
Suhas Gopinath, the CEO& President of Globals ITeS Pvt. Ltd. said, “Rural Schools in Zimbabwe face inconsistent power supply and poor internet connectivity. But every Headmaster has a mobile phone, and Globals’ cloud based server makes automated phone calls to every Headmaster and guides them through a simple IVRS process to collect data such as daily attendance of both teachers and students, food grains spent for mid-day meals scheme etc., in real time, as compared to the current paper based reporting system which takes nearly six months for policy makers and officials at the ministry level to view and analyze the data.
“We had envisaged this technology with a focus on rural schools in India. Implementing this technology in Zimbabwe is definitely a milestone in itself and a launchingpad to expand our services to countries worldwide”, he added.
