Snap A Photo. Build An Asset Record

Creating and maintaining an accurate equipment inventory has traditionally been one of the most time-consuming tasks in facility management. Teams walk buildings, locate equipment, record make and model numbers, capture serial numbers, take notes, and manually enter information into spreadsheets or asset management systems. For large facilities, the process can take weeks or even months, and data inconsistencies often creep in along the way.

ARC Facilities is changing that process with AI-powered Equipment Capture.

Instead of manually documenting equipment, users simply take a photo. ARC Facilities automatically identifies key equipment information, including make, model, and serial numbers, and generates a structured equipment record in seconds. What once required multiple steps and significant administrative effort can now be completed directly from a mobile device while standing in front of the asset.

"Facilities teams are constantly balancing operational demands with documentation requirements," said Jonathan Styrlund, VP of Operations at ARC Facilities. "Our AI-powered Equipment Capture feature helps eliminate much of the manual work involved in building an asset inventory. A simple photo can now create a usable equipment record, allowing teams to spend less time entering data and more time focusing on maintaining their facilities."

The benefits extend well beyond convenience.

By simplifying asset documentation, organizations can build more complete and accurate equipment inventories. Standardized records improve data consistency across teams and locations, making it easier to onboard new employees, support maintenance programs, prepare for audits, and manage capital planning initiatives. Accurate equipment information also helps organizations make better decisions throughout the asset lifecycle.

For many facilities teams, one of the biggest obstacles to effective asset management has been finding the time to collect and organize equipment data. ARC Facilities removes much of that burden.

By turning a simple photograph into structured equipment intelligence, ARC Facilities helps organizations document their facilities faster, improve data quality, and create a stronger foundation for maintenance, planning, and long-term facility operations.
