Why companies deal with asset management in this way
The module is designed for keys, hand-held power tools and other company equipment that is loaned to employees or external workers on an ongoing basis. Each piece of property can be tagged with an NFC chip and the system then records the loans, returns and current status of each item.
Overview
You know immediately to whom the property has been handed over
For each item, you have a history of loans, the status of repayments and information on whether the asset has been returned within the specified time.
Operation
You know immediately to whom the property has been handed over
The operator can work from the web app on a PC and from the TouchGuard mobile app on a phone or tablet.
Automation
Alerts watch the return date for you
The system can send notifications before the end of the loan, at the end of the term and repeatedly until the property is returned.
Key features of the module
The function is based on the real operation of asset and loan records. It allows you to create individual items, assign NFC chips to them, set borrowing permissions and track the history and current status of assets.
Electronic record of loans
Each piece of property can be registered with a name, an associated NFC chip and rules on who can borrow it.
Overview of currently borrowed assets
In the current loans column you can see the person, contact and expected date and time of return.
NFC chip for quick identification
Assets are tagged with an NFC chip, so dispensing and returning is fast and without manually tracking down items.
Automatic email prompts
Notifications may go out 15 minutes before the end, at the end of the loan period and every 24 hours until returned.
Authorisation to borrow
For a specific item, you can set whether it is available to everyone or only to selected users with the appropriate permissions.
Export and history
There is a history of borrowing of individual items as well as an export of an overview of current borrowings to a CSV file.
How it works in operation
1. Create an asset and assign an NFC chip (key fob)
The administrator creates an asset item, enters its name, assigns the corresponding NFC chip and sets who can borrow it.
2. Select the borrower and the return date
The loan is created via a web app or mobile terminal where the person, asset and expected time of return are selected.
3. Monitor real-time status
In the overview, you can immediately see active loans, returned items and overdue assets. Critical cases can be quickly traced and resolved.
4. The system will remind you to return automatically
If property is not returned on time, the system will send an email alert to help reduce losses and unnecessary tracking.

Solutions we can help to solve
Frequently asked questions
Can the system alert me to unreturned property?
Yes. TOUCHGUARD can automatically send email notifications before the end of the loan, at the end of the term and repeatedly until the property is returned. A notification SMS can be sent directly from the mobile terminal with one click.
How is the lending and return of property handled?
Property can be borrowed and returned via a web app on your computer or via the TOUCHGUARD mobile app on your phone or tablet. The mobile terminal can also be operated using an NFC chip attached to the item being recorded, which eliminates errors in recording.
