EZO

EZO (formerly EZOfficeInventory) is a cloud-based asset management solution used to track company assets through barcodes, QR codes, and RFID trackers. It includes features that allow a company to track the entire lifecycle of their assets. Companies can view asset levels, maintenance history, location of assets, and purchase orders.

Overview of Features

EZO offers a suite of features to ensure it is well suited for businesses of all sizes, with custom solutions across various industries including but not limited to construction, education, churches, event management, healthcare, and public works. Pricing is based on the tier and number of items in the customer’s inventory. There are no limits on inventory locations or users per account. Businesses do not need to foot the bill for on-site data storage. EZO also offers a free trial of its services.

EZO combines all aspects of asset management, such as purchase orders, service tickets, location tracking. Usage and maintenance data are accessible in downloadable reports in order to facilitate analysis and future planning. Inventory is continuously tracked with the option of alerts for low stock to prevent stockouts of essential equipment. A convenient mobile interface allows users to scan in and track assets across multiple locations.

In addition to asset management, EZO offers a variety of user management tools to ensure access is controlled. Users can be assigned as Admin, Supervisors, or Staff. Access is limited based on the needs of the user’s role. These limitations ensure that staff is only accessing necessary equipment and information and that assets remain secure.

Use in Small Businesses

Small businesses may find the services available in the more affordable Essential and Advanced tiers lacking. For example, in order for Google integration to be supported or for custom reports to be run, a company has to purchase the Premium tier at an additional cost. However, since EZO is cloud-based and its pricing is progressive based on inventory size, it is a scalable option that can keep up with company growth. The 15-day free trial may help small business owners determine if the features available in the lower tiers are sufficient or if they feel the extra fee for the higher tiers is worth the higher price.
