Whether your Canadian workforce is remote or based in an office, your organization must track the physical assets assigned to employees. The Inventory by Category Report provides a comprehensive breakdown of your organization's resources, grouping them by type (e.g., IT Hardware, Vehicles, Office Furniture) and showing exactly how many of each are currently in use.
Maintaining an accurate inventory history improves organizational accountability, reduces the risk of loss, and assists in calculating asset depreciation for Canadian tax purposes.
