Businesses and organisations can lose millions of pounds each and every year due to the theft of expensive information technology equipment. It is not always outside agents who commit these thefts, however, as it is sometimes employees who are responsible.

If your company regularly invests a great deal of money in information technology equipment, such as laptops for example, then you should be protecting these assets through a number of security measures.

One way you can effectively protect your company’s property is through security labels, also known as asset tags. These labels not only act as a deterrent to potential thieves, but they also help your company keep track of each and every single item.

Say, for example, you issue laptops or mobile phones to each employee. Without attaching an asset tag to each item, it is incredibly difficult to work out which item belongs to which employee. If any employees leave or are let go, they could just decide to keep the item and the company wouldn’t be any the wiser.

However, if every item is tagged with a security label, you will instantly be able to work out when an item is missing, and hopefully recover it easily. You will have clear and accurate records of every one of the company’s assets, from large pieces of equipment to small devices. These records can be very useful for insurance purposes.

Security labels can be found in many different types, but the best ones are those that are tamper resistant. This means they leave some sort of mark or message – sometimes a “void” message – on the item if anyone tries to remove the label. You can usually customise security labels with your company logo or another type of branding, so you know instantly where a recovered item has come from and whether or not it belongs to your company.

Barcode labels are used to quickly identify stock. This can improve stock checking times drastically and reduces the likelihood of errors. For a bespoke quotation contact the professionals at datalabel.co.uk.
