The Courts selected FileTrail because of its leadership in RFID
technology for tracking in the office environment. A legacy
implementation of RFID in the Courts' library highlights how much
RFID technology has advanced in that last two years. FileTrail RFID
tags can be read from a distance up to 10 feet, while those in the
library are limited to a 10-inch distance. Additionally, the cost of
FileTrail RFID tags are less than half the cost of the RFID tags in
the library.
The RFID-based auditing and Audit Discrepancy reporting in FileTrail
is expected to cut the time required for the Courts' annual audit
and reconciliation by over 80%. Currently, auditing requires staff
to work in pairs - one person to locate and read an inventory
number, and another to write the numbers down. Locating the
inventory number usually involves crawling under desks, tables, and
chairs, or moving equipment around. FileTrail RFID will allow staff
to work individually and more quickly since the RFID tags can be
read through plastic, glass, wood, etc.
The Tax Courts will leverage many other advantages of FileTrail, in
addition to the RFID technology. The ability to define an unlimited
number of user-defined fields and screens means that each type of
asset - computer equipment, electronics, furniture, etc. - can be
defined in more efficient terms, which assists staff with
identification, maintenance, and disposition of the assets.
One of the key features that will help the Courts is the fact that
FileTrail software is completely browser-based. This allows staff to
use FileTrail from any of the remote facilities to perform asset
management processes. Each facility can be managed by a set of
common process for logging new inventory, auditing inventory,
recording dispositions, etc., providing the same management
oversight and control regardless of location.
