Asset tagging assigns a unique identifier to a physical asset so employees can connect the equipment with its digital record. Tags may use printed numbers, barcodes, QR codes, RFID technology, or another identification method.

When appropriate systems are in place, employees can use an asset tag to access information such as model number, serial number, installation date, warranty status, maintenance history, or assigned location.

Asset tagging can be particularly valuable at large hotels and multi-property portfolios where thousands of individual assets must be managed.
