Asset tracking for East Africa organizations
Asset tracking assigns durable identities to tools, IT, and capital equipment, then records custody and location over time. Origami Tech implements barcode or RFID programs so universities, manufacturers, and NGOs in Kenya and the region can pass audits without spreadsheet archaeology.
Key takeaways
- Start with high-value and regulated assets
- Define custody events: issue, return, transfer, retire
- RFID helps bulk room sweeps; barcode fits desk-level IT
- Reports should feed finance and security stakeholders
Successful programs combine tagging standards, handheld workflows, and clear ownership. Hardware alone does not fix missing check-in culture.
