Assets Managed
ABOUT FLAGLER COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office serves a rapidly growing community in Florida, tasked with maintaining the safety and security of its citizens. The department is responsible for managing over 500 personnel and more than 2,000 assets, including vehicles, equipment, and technology used by officers. With a focus on efficiency and accountability, the Sheriff’s Office has historically faced challenges in tracking and managing a large volume of assets across multiple categories, from vehicles to uniforms and technology used in the field.
THE CHALLENGE
Before adopting Collective Data, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office relied on spreadsheets, Word documents, and PDFs to manage asset tracking. This fragmented approach made it difficult to keep up with inventory, often resulting in confusion and errors. As the department grew, so did the complexity of managing and issuing equipment. Without a centralized system, tracking assets like uniforms, radios, and other essential gear was cumbersome, with little visibility into inventory levels. The department struggled to track who had what and when items were returned, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary reordering of equipment. Additionally, the department needed a system that could track not only physical assets but also certifications, training, and personnel details.
THE SOLUTION
By implementing Collective Data’s asset management system, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office gained a comprehensive, user-friendly solution that centralized the management of all its assets. The system provided real-time tracking of equipment, from uniforms to vehicles, with automated alerts when items needed replenishing. This streamlined process allowed the Sheriff’s Office to track assets with precision, reduce the need for redundant inventory purchases, and improve accountability. Collective Data’s flexibility allowed the department to customize the system to meet their specific needs, including tracking personnel certifications, which was critical for maintaining compliance with local regulations. As a result, the Sheriff’s Office not only increased its operational efficiency but also reduced costs by eliminating over-ordering and improving the overall management of its growing inventory.
