COLLECT, COMMUNICATE & MANAGE - Alden's Inventory Philosophy  

Collecting field asset information that can be utilized in a changing environment is extremely important in today’s world. For comprehensive data management, successful businesses must store and manage assets on an on-going basis. Collect Web™ accomplishes this task and allows users to manage work schedules - ONLINE.

Power Utilities, telecoms, cities, counties and municipalities must be able to translate collected inventory data into useful and financially impactful information.

Properly managed asset data provides an effective way to communicate asset-specific information used for safety, maintenance, repair, replacement and dispute resolution decision-making processes. In each case, the financial reward is tangible.

Our experience led us to develop the Collect™ System to deal with common problems that arise in efforts to effectively manage map-based assets.

Q: How can Alden collect any type of physical asset information?
A: The Collect™ tool is completely configurable. Users can capture data for any field asset by specifying the asset attributes to be collected. No ‘cookie cutter’ data format will ever fully meet everyone’s needs. When it comes to data capture, one size simply cannot fit all.

Collect™ literally allows the user to
self-configure the data capture interface and manage any asset in a form that best meets your individual project needs. We can prove it. Want to see a demo?


Q: What if Data Requirements change in the middle of a project?
A:
Projects and priorities can and do change at a moment’s notice. With the flexibility of the collection interface, Collect™ can handle these changes with little or no downtime.
