How does SGW 5D Asset help your school or academy?

SECURE, CLOUD-BASED ASSET MANAGEMENT DATABASE

SGW 5D Asset is cloud-based so it can be accessed using a web browser on a PC, tablet or smartphone. This means your data is securely stored off site requiring no ongoing support or maintenance from your own IT team.

The 5D software family sits on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform benefitting from over 50 security compliance certificates, including ISO 27001 and 27018.

.

KNOW WHAT ASSETS YOU'VE GOT AND WHERE THEY ARE

Our web-based user-friendly database holds all your school asset information in one place with detailed supporting information on item cost and depreciation, location, owner, maintenance history, support status and relationships with other assets.

If you don’t know what you’ve got, how do you effectively deploy your resources and invest in the right areas?

KNOW HOW YOUR ASSETS ARE BEING USED AND WHO'S USING THEM

An asset can be allocated to an owner, physical location and be part of a parent/child relationship so you can see how it is being used in your school.

Mobile IT kit, specialist lab equipment and vehicles can be allocated on a job-by-job basis and quickly checked in and out. Asset scanning eliminates manual data entry mistakes and stops stuff being lost or hoarded!

MOBILE APP WITH BARCODE SCANNER

A supporting 5D Asset mobile app lets you manage assets on the go. Barcode tagging allows you to quickly scan your assets without creating duplicates or conflicting information.

MANAGE SOFTWARE LICENSING

Keep an accurate check of your software usage. 5D Asset can store and report on which licenses are being used, by whom, and how often so you pay for a licensing plan that reflects actual usage.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE

SG World design all our software with user experience foremost in our minds. SGW 5D Asset has an intuitive, icon-based interface and a user-friendly dashboard view for users of all levels.

COMPLY WITH SFVS AND ACADEMIES HANDBOOK GUIDANCE

5D Asset helps your school put in place best practice Financial Management. The Academy Trust Handbook and Schools Financial Value Standard (SFVS) both highlight effective asset management as a key feature of robust financial planning, budgeting and disaster recovery.

INSURANCE & DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING

Fire or flood, hopefully it won’t happen to your school. . . but what if it does?

That’s why schools pay for insurance but without an accurate asset list, have you got the right cover or paperwork? 5D Asset makes sure you’ll have no nasty surprises and all the information you need to quickly make a claim and access the funds you need to get back up and running.

ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR ACCOUNTS AND BUDGET FORECASTING

Spreadsheets are great but can be pretty limiting when managing your asset register. With SGW 5D Asset you can automate asset depreciation, manage disposals and generate bespoke reports. Never worry about physically locating an asset for your next audit and be confident the true value of your school assets are being reflected in your accounts.

REDUCE MISSING ASSETS

The first step to deter theft is having an inventory accurate enough to realise something has gone missing and react quickly.

SGW 5D Asset deters theft as everybody can see assets are being tracked and managed, encouraging people to be more mindful in the way they use and allocate resources.

MAXIMISE YOUR ASSET LIFETIME

Look after your school assets with a detailed maintenance and support plan. Track and schedule lease renewals and maintenance contracts so you never get caught out on a renewal date. SGW 5D Asset lets you schedule equipment maintenance and PAT testing whilst storing any supporting documentation. Support tickets can also be raised with 5D Asset so you have a full asset history.

FULL UK-BASED HELDESK SUPPORT

5D Asset is backed by an experienced UK-based support team who are there to help a little or a lot. Basic support includes access to a structured onboarding process, telephone helpline, ticketed helpdesk, online portal with knowledge base and video help resources.
