Asset challenges in Colchester
Facilities managers in Colchester face common visibility and control challenges.
Asset Invisibility
Spreadsheets are outdated the moment they are created. No one knows what assets exist or where.
Unexplained Losses
Assets disappear during moves, are borrowed and never returned, or are disposed of without record.
Reactive Maintenance
Issues are only discovered when something breaks, leading to costly emergency repairs.

New items are purchased while suitable assets sit unused in storage or other locations.

Facilities Management FAQs for Colchester
Common questions about facilities asset management in Colchester
What is facilities asset management?
Facilities asset management is the systematic process of tracking, maintaining and optimising all physical assets within buildings and estates. It includes knowing what assets you have, where they are located, their condition, and when they need maintenance or replacement.
How does real-time asset tracking work for facilities managers?
Camio uses QR codes and RFID tags to track every asset across your estate. When assets are scanned - during audits, moves, or maintenance - their location and status update automatically. You get live dashboards showing exactly what you have and where.
Can Camio help prevent asset losses in large estates?
Yes. Camio maintains complete chain of custody records, tracks movement history, and can alert you when assets go missing or are overdue for return. Clear accountability reduces unexplained losses and helps recover assets faster.
How does Camio support workplace asset management across multiple locations?
Camio provides a single platform to manage assets across all your sites. You can see estate-wide inventory, compare utilisation between locations, coordinate transfers, and ensure consistent processes across your entire portfolio.
