Overview

What is a

Asset Tracker /ˈa-set ˈtra-kər/ noun

  1. A system used to identify and monitor assets—items of value owned.Merriam-Webster: asset

  2. A GRIT Asset Tracker identifies the user, checks any required training permission, scans a barcode or QR label, and sends the transaction to GRIT Hub Pro so custody, quantities, condition, and return status stay with the asset record.

Durable assets Consumable quantities

One intentional transaction

Identify. Scan. Record.

A library-style station turns a handoff at the tool room into a clear custody record—without turning checkout into paperwork.

One station, two kinds of inventory

Track custody and count without confusing the two.

A battery comes back. A sanding disc does not. Asset Tracker supports both workflows while keeping the transaction tied to an identified user.

Durable asset

Who has it, where it belongs, and whether it returned.

Give a serialized tool, meter, battery, case, or other reusable item its own barcode or QR label. The record can hold the current holder, availability, location, checkout history, condition, documents, and maintenance status.

Consumable quantity

Who took it and how many remain.

Track issue quantities for sanding discs, blades, bits, PPE, fasteners, or other stock that leaves inventory permanently. Checkout reduces the on-hand count instead of creating a return obligation.

Training-based checkout

If they are not trained, the asset does not check out.

Mark an asset as training required and assign access through permission groups. When a user attempts checkout, GRIT Hub Pro verifies that permission before custody changes.

01 · Require training

Protect the specific assets that need it.

Training can be required asset by asset. General inventory can remain open while higher-risk or specialized equipment stays restricted.

02 · Assign permission

Connect trained users through permission groups.

A user must belong to an allowed group for that asset. A matching revoke group overrides access when an individual restriction is needed.

03 · Fail closed

No permission means no checkout.

If GRIT cannot confirm an allowed permission—or finds a revoke permission—the transaction is denied. The kiosk can show the asset’s configured denial message.

At the kiosk

Fast when the label scans. Practical when it does not.

The ready screen keeps the next action obvious while still giving staff a fallback when a badge or label is unavailable.

  1. 01
    Identify the user

    Present the configured card or use the approved reader workflow.

  2. 02
    Scan or search

    Read the asset or consumable label; search is available when needed.

  3. 03
    Check permission and confirm

    For a training-required asset, checkout proceeds only when the user has an allowed permission. Approved checkout assigns custody or reduces quantity.

  4. 04
    Keep the record moving

    Use bulk check-in for returns and review overdue, condition, and maintenance status from the Hub.

What stays with the record

More than a name beside a tool.

Custody and history

See the current holder, checkout and return history, availability, due-back status, and assigned location.

Condition and documents

Keep damage notes, condition details, supporting documents, and other asset-specific information with the record.

Training and maintenance restrictions

Require an allowed training permission, schedule elapsed-day maintenance, surface overdue work, and prevent checkout when a configured restriction applies.

Asset Tracker is for managed asset checkout. It is not a standalone door-access reader.

Connected GRIT Track workflows

Identification, checkout, and access are separate jobs.
