CG4 Asset Tracking provides off-the-shelf enterprise-level barcode/RFID functionality to help you manage all your assets.
When you buy CG4 Asset Tracking, you can start on day one using the accumulation of over 25 years of CG4 customer asset tracking ideas, rather than starting on day one trying to decide what you want to program to help you track your assets.
Configure an Unlimited Number of CG4 Module use cases. The CG4 modules typically line up with steps in your asset life cycle, such as receiving new assets, stocking, inventorying, issuing assets to employees, retiring assets, receiving on purchase orders, transfer orders, and every other step you can imagine. It is easy to organically grow your CG4 implementation because you can configure any module you want, put business logic and rules into the module, decide which users should have access to the module, and deploy it in a matter of minutes, without being a programmer, without any incremental expense, and without necessarily needing to get help from CG4 (but you can always call anytime you want help help). One of our state government customers tracking 500,000 assets configured almost a hundred CG4 modules over the course of their first year so that they could have dedicated CG4 handheld modules for each stockroom, which minimized clicks for the scanning technicians and made them more efficient. We love this because it shows that customers have the power in their hands to organically improve their CG4 implementation as they have new ideas.
Many Scanner and RFID Options. You can scan and update your assets using your ruggedized scanners, smartphones, tablets, notebooks, fixed RFID readers, and you can also use web browser access from a computer to update your assets.
ServiceNow-Certified All the way Back to Dublin. CG4 has been certified by ServiceNow all the way back to the ServiceNow Dublin release. CG4 will continue to certify on all new ServiceNow releases.
Over Twenty-five years of Experience. CG4 has offered asset tracking barcode scanning software for over 25 years. All the good ideas from the CG4 customers are rolled into the general-release CG4 Asset Tracking software.
Short Timeline. You can install CG4 and be up and running today. When your users ask for changes to your CG4 modules, you can make the changes and push the modified modules to the users in a matter of minutes, which makes it easy for them to test and give you feedback.
Goal is to Minimize or Eliminate Professional Services. CG4 has an initial setup fee to do your implementation, training, configure your first modules, and optionally configure SSO, but beyond that, CG4 thinks those will be the last services you will need to purchase from CG4. The setup fee includes an unlimited number of web sessions to help you get to the point that you feel like you are implemented. We have worked hard to make CG4 fully configurable to adapt to every customer need without the need for any custom programming. We are willing to accept custom programming tasks, but our goal is to meet your needs by configuration efforts alone.
One-stop Shop. CG4 not only wants to provide your asset tracking software and support, but we are also glad to help you design barcodes, purchase scanners, barcode printers, pre-printed asset tags, or RFID tags and RFID equipment. You can get everything you need for your asset tracking efforts from CG4. Here is a video overview of using Zebra scanners with CG4: https://www.cg4assettracking.com/hardware
Customers of all Sizes. CG4 has customers tracking up to a million assets and down to a few hundred assets and all customers use the same CG4 off-the-shelf, general release software. CG4 can take care of your needs too.
Customers from all Industries. CG4 has customers from all business segments, such as retail, medical, education, government, military, financial, manufacturing, energy, media, communication, and many others.
No-Cost Proof of Concept/Trial. CG4 offers a no-obligation proof of concept.
Standalone Asset Tracking solution can help. Some CG4 customers want to scan and update assets before the ServiceNow Asset Management module is ready for use; they can use the CG4 standalone asset tracking solution as an interim solution.
Love CG4. Our goal is to take away as many asset management headaches as possible. We have worked hard to make the technical side of having an asset management system easy so that our customers can spend the majority of their time thinking about business processes, rather than being mired down in the technical details of getting their asset tracking solution to do what they want it to do.
Key Features:
- CG4 allows you to configure as many module use cases as you like to help with each detailed process of managing the entire life cycle of your assets. You do not need to be a programmer to configure and deploy CG4 modules such as Receive Assets, Inventory Assets, Issue Assets to Employees, Check In/Check Out, Loading/Unloading, Audit, Transfer Assets, Stockroom Inventory, Retire Assets, Receiving, Receiving on Purchase Order Line, Transfer Orders, and any other module you can think of.
- You can easily configure rules into each module.
- To configure a module, add rules into it, and deploy the new module to a group of users only takes a couple of minutes. This allows you to organically grow your CG4 implementation without adding costs or additional time whenever you have an idea for the next CG4 module.
- You get to benefit from over 25 years of good customer ideas that are included with our general release product. If you program something for yourself, you only have the features you conceive of and the functionality you program. With CG4, all the years of programming and ideas are included for your use, from Day 1.
- In addition to the 25+ years of good customer ideas, when you choose to buy CG4 instead of building your own asset tracking solution, you will find yourself with fewer headaches and a quicker turnaround for any implementation or modification timelines.
- You will thank yourself for not getting mired down in the technical details of programming your own asset tracking solution.
- With the OOB CG4 solution, you have all CG4 scanning technicians from all CG4 customers using the same CG4 handheld software, which helps ensure you will enjoy reliable handheld performance.
These features are included at no additional charge with the CG4 Asset Tracking solution:
- Audit. Audit provides the ability to inventory your assets. You can take a particular location (or some other subset of assets) to see what is found, not found, compliant, etc. You have a truly clear picture of the results of your audit, which allows you to focus on anything unexpected. You can make the audits be recurring audits.
- Remediation. The Remediation function allows rules to be configured to stop, review, and approve specific types of updates rather than having them automatically update into ServiceNow. Remediation will stop edits that come from any source in ServiceNow, whether it be an update from a CG4 handheld, or an update done directly in ServiceNow or some other system in your environment. This is a system-wide feature.
- Record History. The Record History tracks all edits that happen to your assets – both updates from a CG4 scanning technician AND edits that happen directly in ServiceNow. You can use this data to run reports over time and at a point in time. We also use this data to provide the Data Restoration function.
- Data Restoration/Mass Update. The Data Restoration/Mass Update feature allows you to recover from a data problem. You can restore a specific subset of your data back to a time just before a problem happened, skip over the problem event, and retain the subsequent, accurate updates. Mass Update allows you to easily control and execute mass updates. Both features show you the current and future state of the subset of assets, before you execute.
The Audit, Remediation, Record History, and Data Restoration/Mass Update functions can be enabled on any ServiceNow table; not only can they help you with your assets, but they can also help you on any ServiceNow table, HAM table, EAM table, or any custom table you may have created.
As additional help, CG4 supports many devices and modes:
- Barcode and RFID. CG4 supports both barcode, mobile RFID, and fixed RFID.
- Wide Variety of Scanning Devices. CG4 supports many makes and models of ruggedized scanners, smartphones, tablets, USB scanners, and Bluetooth scanners. These scanners help make it efficient to update thousands of assets a day. CG4 supports devices that use the Android and Apple operating systems. If you already own integrated scanners, CG4 may work with those scanners so that you do not need to necessarily purchase new scanning hardware if you do not want to. Check with your CG4 representative for more details.
Online and Offline Devices. CG4 supports both online/real-time devices and offline devices. In offline mode, you can load all your assets and supporting data onto scanners/smartphones/tablets. We have many customers who operate in offline mode for security or other functional reasons.
