  • Publication number: 20150149238
    Abstract: Utilities designed to track and report on numerous aspects of the movement of assets from an organization and/or customer's location to one or more job sites of a project and vice versa to allow the organization and/or customer(s) to monitor such asset movements. Broadly, the utilities employ a number of timing modules that are each configured to monitor for the occurrence of one or more events (e.g., organization acquires customer's assets, assets picked up from organization's warehouse by general contractor, assets checked into job site by general contractor, etc.) and collect or generate metrics related to the performance of the events. The disclosed utilities provide for increased visibility (e.g., transparency) into various types of performance metrics (e.g., in relation to accuracy, completeness, delays, etc.) related to the movement of the assets and thus allow organizations, their customers, and the like to more readily identify asset misplacement, mismanagement, etc.
