Asset Tagging and Inventory in Durham
Tagging and counting a Durham organisation's equipment, and — the part that decides whether it was worth doing — arranging for the record to stay accurate afterwards. A physical audit produces a correct picture for about a fortnight, after which purchases, moves and disposals begin eroding it again.
Why this comes up
The problem
A full inventory was completed eighteen months ago and it no longer matches anything on the floor.
What you get
What we deliver
- Every device tagged and recorded, including the ones not on any existing list
- Serial numbers, assignee, location and purchase date captured against each tag
- Updates tied to purchasing and to leavers, so the register maintains itself
- Disposals recorded with the certificates that prove data destruction
- Discrepancies investigated rather than written off, since missing kit is missing
- A recount interval agreed, because drift is inevitable rather than a failure

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Asset Tagging and Inventory in Durham — common questions
- Why does the register decay so quickly?
- Because nothing in the ordinary course of business updates it. Equipment is bought by whoever needed it, reassigned informally when someone leaves and disposed of by whoever cleared the cupboard — none of which touches a spreadsheet unless the process makes it.
- What should trigger an update?
- Purchase, reassignment and disposal, ideally through steps people already take. A tag scanned when kit is issued and again when it comes back keeps the record current with almost no additional effort, whereas asking people to remember to email IT does not.
- Why do disposals need certificates?
- Because you have to demonstrate the data went with them. Equipment leaving the building may hold personal data, and a disposal record naming the contractor with a certificate of destruction is what evidences that obligation was met — a note saying scrapped is not.
- What about missing equipment?
- Treat it as an unresolved question rather than an accounting adjustment. A laptop nobody can locate is either with somebody who left, in a drawer, or gone — and the first two matter for security while the third matters for insurance, so writing it off without asking answers neither.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
