vWork Assets

  • Updated

vWork Assets is an optional feature. If you want to find out more or add this to your vWork account, please contact support@vworkapp.com.

What are Assets in vWork?

An asset can be a place, location, or item that needs to be serviced and has a fixed location.  It can be geolocated with either a geocoded address or latitude and longitude coordinates.

Examples of assets are:

  • sports fields,
  • public toilets,
  • parks,
  • schools,
  • apartments,
  • significant trees,
  • water tanks,
  • boilers,
  • water coolers,
  • fire extinguishers,
  • power pylons,
  • commercial waste bins.

Assets can be added to standard or repeating jobs in vWork and can provide an alternative address to the customer's site address in a step address for a job.

Assets can be linked to a customer and may have a different address to the customer's site address.

Assets must have an ID - this can be a third party ID from another system, your own ID, or a vWork assigned ID (vWork ID).

Why should I use assets?

It is useful to save an item as an asset if:

  • It has a fixed location and needs regular maintenance
  • You want to include it in a repeating job cycle
  • You want to track its work history
  • It is one of several similar items that belong to one customer and all those items need the same work done to them on a regular basis.
  • It is to be included in Optimization and time windows restrict when work can or can't be done on the item.
