Equipment Issue

Equipment Issue

Overview

You can utilise the Equipment Issue section to monitor equipment assigned to an employee or a vehicle. Employees can also be linked to vehicles. Smaller equipment such as company mobile phones, laptops, tools, and personal protective equipment (PPE) can be logged under an employee's profile. Additionally, items like fire extinguishers, toolboxes, and first-aid kits can be assigned to vehicles within the system.

Employees, assets/vehicles, and parts must be created before linking them to Equipment Issue records.
