Asset tagging for hotels, lodges and camps

No. We fix them on undersides, backs and inside surfaces — visible to a scanner, invisible to a guest.

Acetone-activated anodised aluminium will. We would not recommend anything else for a coastal property.

We work with your maintenance rotation, tagging rooms as they come off-sale. A room takes minutes, not hours.

Generally no — those sit below most capitalisation thresholds and belong in an operating stock count, not a fixed asset register. We will tell you where your threshold puts the line.

Yes, with one consolidated register and per-property filtering.

Keep them separate. The asset number belongs to the item for life; the room is a location field that changes when the item moves. Hotels that build the room number into the asset number end up with a register full of wrong identities after the first refurbishment. Scan and update the location instead — it takes seconds and the history stays intact.

We do not guess that figure. Once you give us the location and the asset count we quote transport, accommodation and subsistence as itemised lines agreed before any work begins, with no open-ended charges. For remote camps it is usually cheaper to combine several properties into one trip, or to have us supply tags and train your maintenance team.

Financially, marginal. With perhaps 300 assets you are below the free scanner threshold and a spreadsheet maintained carefully by one owner-manager may be enough. Where it does pay is insurance and sale or lease of the property, because a tagged register with costs and conditions is evidence rather than assertion. We will tell you honestly if a tag order alone serves you better.

Yes. With acquisition date, cost and condition recorded per item and per room, you can report which rooms are due for replacement and what the spend will be. That is the report hospitality clients use most after the first year, and it is only possible because each identical television carries its own number rather than sitting in a group line.
