Solution · Issue and Return

Issue and return assets with RFID.

Connect reusable assets with the people receiving them. Record returns and review what remains outstanding through a defined Ledger workflow.

Software, suitable hardware and implementation in New Zealand.

Illustrative workflow

Issue, return, follow up.

Review what returned and what still needs follow-up.

Keep the records with the physical work.

When assets move faster than the records, staff spend time establishing who has them and what came back. Ledger connects RFID capture with the issue and return process.

Record responsibility

Associate recognised assets with the intended recipient through the issue workflow.

Process returns

Use RFID capture at an agreed return point to process suitable tagged assets.

Review what remains out

See which assets are still issued and focus follow-up on the records that need attention.

The workflow

From a recipient to a return record.

The software supplies the context that a tag observation alone cannot provide. Each step records a specific action in the workflow.

  1. Prepare the records

    Start with recipient or order information and registered, tagged assets.

  2. Issue the assets

    Select the intended recipient or order, scan the assets and complete the issue workflow.

  3. Record the returns

    Scan recognised assets through the return process as they come back.

  4. Review outstanding assets

    Compare the issue and return records, then investigate what remains out.

The setup

RFID capture with an operational purpose.

A scan observes a tag. The reader setup and Ledger workflow together determine what can be captured and which action is recorded.

Suitable tags

Assess the asset material, tag placement and expected handling.

Defined capture points

Choose a reader and read area that fit the issue and return process.

Connected records

Agree the recipient and order data, operator steps and any integration work.

Implementation experience

Issue and return at graduation pace.

GWC uses Ledger for graduation regalia issue and return. Its implementation connects recipient and order information with RFID capture so staff can review what has returned and what remains outstanding.

Getting started

Software, hardware and a workflow that fits.

For New Zealand projects, we bring Ledger software, suitable RFID equipment and implementation together. We start by assessing your process, then demonstrate the relevant workflow.

You bring knowledge of the operation, your existing records and a person who can own the rollout.

  1. Assess the workflow

    Agree what needs to be recorded, where scanning can happen and what staff need to know.

  2. Define the setup

    Assess tags and readers, existing data and any integration work. Agree scope, costs and support responsibilities.

  3. Put it into practice

    Configure the agreed workflow and plan how staff will use it. Start with a manageable part of the operation.

What goes into the cost?

Project scope covers software access, hardware and tags, and implementation. Any additional integration work is scoped separately. We discuss these components once the workflow and equipment needs are understood.

Outside New Zealand?

International software enquiries are welcome. Wider hardware and implementation support can be discussed for substantial projects.

Practical answers before you start.

Bring your process and equipment questions to the workflow assessment.

Does a scan automatically issue an asset?

The active Ledger workflow determines what a scan records. Issue needs the intended recipient or order context and successful completion of the workflow.

How do RFID returns work?

A suitable reader can observe multiple tagged assets in a return area. Ledger uses the return workflow to process recognised assets. Tag placement, material and read-area design still need to be assessed.

Can we start with existing records?

Existing recipient or order data, including suitable CSV records, can be a starting point. We assess the data and agree any integration required.

Does outstanding mean lost?

No. Outstanding means the asset remains issued in the records. Staff can investigate the situation; an absent return record is not proof of loss.

We’ll talk through your process, assess the scanning and record requirements, then demonstrate the relevant Ledger workflow.
