Case Study: Shure achieves real-time asset visibility and faster equipment loans with BarCloud by Asap Systems

ASAP Systems’ Barcode Inventory System Silences Shure’s Audio Equipment Tracking Woes

Shure, a century-old leader in microphones and audio electronics, struggled to track the large volume of gear loaned to artists across tours and multiple locations. Reliant on error-prone spreadsheets with no unique asset tagging, the Artist Relations team spent hours searching for items, couldn’t reliably locate loaned equipment, and needed real-time check-in/check-out, alerting, and reporting capabilities.

ASAP Systems’ Passport (Assets and Mobile) with barcode printers and scanners provided a centralized, barcode-based inventory system that automated check-ins/outs and enabled mobile scanning from any location. The result was immediate, accurate visibility of assets, faster turnaround when packing and shipping gear, automated alerts for returns and reorders, configurable reporting, higher equipment utilization, and reduced carrying costs.
