Whether your Canadian workforce is remote or based in a physical office, your organization likely assigns physical assets—such as laptops, monitors, or specialized equipment—to employees to facilitate their roles.
Tracking the lifecycle of these assets is a critical part of organizational accountability. Knowing who owned what, the duration of ownership, and the specific history of an item helps reduce loss, improve transparency, and simplify the calculation of depreciation for Canadian tax purposes where necessary.
The Disposal by Reason Reporting feature provides a strategic overview of why resources are leaving your organization. This data helps you analyze trends—such as high rates of accidental damage or predictable wear-and-tear cycles—allowing for better procurement planning.
