Use Cases
Eighteen situations we built ASTITVAAMS to handle, from a single workshop to a ministry. Each one describes the problem and how the platform deals with it, so you can see whether any of them sound like your own operation.
Tools and Dies That Keep Disappearing Between Shifts
Every tool and die gets a tag and a named owner. Handovers between shifts need a signature from both sides, so when something goes missing you know where the trail stops rather than guessing.
Machines That Fail Without Warning and Stop the Line
Servicing runs off a calendar and machine hours instead of memory. Operators scan a tag to raise a breakdown ticket, and repeat repairs on the same machine surface before it fails again.
Spares Leaving Stores With No Idea Which Machine Ate Them
Spares and consumables are issued against the asset that needed them, not just to a department. After a few months you can see which machines and which lines are absorbing the maintenance budget, and argue for replacement with numbers.
Forklifts and Handling Equipment Spread Across Depots
Forklifts, trailers, racking and handling gear move between depots as demand shifts. Each transfer is signed by both sites, and the running hours travel with the machine so servicing does not reset every time it relocates.
Plant and Tools That Walk Off Site Between Projects
Excavators, generators, compactors and power tools move between sites as jobs start and finish, and the ones that never arrive are noticed months later. Every item is tagged and signed for at each handover, so a transfer that did not happen shows up the same week.
Vehicles Serviced on Guesswork Instead of Actual Readings
Servicing runs off a wall planner, so some vehicles go in early and others go in after something has already failed. Schedules trigger on actual odometer or engine hour readings instead, and every part, repair and renewal is logged against the vehicle.
Hire Equipment You Cannot Prove Came Back Damaged
A customer returns a machine with damage that was not there when it left, and the argument comes down to two memories. Condition is photographed and signed at issue and at return, so the comparison sits on the record rather than in dispute.
The Bank Wants an Asset Schedule and the Insurer Wants Proof
Applying for an MSME loan means producing a list of what you own and what it is worth. So does an insurance claim after a fire or a theft. Both come out of the same register, with the purchase invoice and a dated photograph attached to every item.
Laptops and Tools That Leave With Staff and Never Come Back
Every laptop, phone and toolkit is issued to a named person who signs for it. When somebody resigns, HR gets the list of what they are holding before the final settlement is released, not three months later.
A Laptop Refresh Where Nobody Knows What Is Still Under Warranty
Planning a refresh means knowing which machines are out of warranty, who is holding them, and what happened to the ones replaced last time. Every device carries its purchase date, warranty end, current holder and disposal record, so the refresh list builds itself.
Store Fittings Written Off but Still Sitting in the Back Room
Refrigeration, display units, tills and signage are bought per store and forgotten centrally, so the register carries items scrapped years ago and misses others still in use. Each store holds its own list, and a refit moves items rather than losing them.
Replacing Room Furniture With No Record of Its Age
Beds, televisions, air conditioning units and kitchen equipment get replaced when they fail rather than when they are due, because nobody records how old anything is. Each item is held against the room or area it sits in, with its age, condition and service history attached.
Grant-Funded Lab Equipment Nobody Can Locate at Audit Time
Instruments are linked to the grant that paid for them and the person responsible. When DST, CSIR or UGC ask what happened to the equipment they funded, the answer is on one screen.
An Affiliation Inspection That Physically Counts Your Lab Equipment
Inspection teams measure rooms, count lab apparatus, check library books and verify fire extinguishers and CCTV. Keeping that inventory current all year, with photographs and purchase records, turns an inspection scramble into printing a report.
Equipment Shared Between Departments With Nobody Accountable
Projectors, instruments and computers move between departments and shifts, and at the end of term nobody is sure who had what. Each item sits with a named member of staff until somebody else formally accepts it.
The Same Instrument Appearing on Three Different Lists
Every department keeps its own spreadsheet, so the same spectrometer is counted three times and the total is meaningless. Importing those lists into one register surfaces the duplicates, then reports roll up by department, by campus, or across the whole university.
Biomedical Equipment With Contracts and Calibration Slipping
Ventilators, monitors and imaging equipment carry their own service history, warranty dates and calibration certificates. Contract expiry is flagged in advance instead of discovered during a breakdown.
An Annual Stock Check That Takes Months of Staff Time
Staff walk each office scanning tags rather than carrying printouts. The count and the paperwork finish together, and GFR forms come out of the same data the auditor will inspect.
Chasing Forty Offices for Their Asset Returns Every Year
Attached and subordinate offices each maintain their own register inside the same system, so the ministry stops collecting spreadsheets by email. The consolidated position is always current, and you can see which offices have not completed their verification.
Heavy Plant Depreciated Two Different Ways in Two Systems
Engineering tracks the machine and finance tracks the value, and the two never quite reconcile before the audit. One record carries both, depreciated to the standards public sector reporting requires, and posted back to the ERP rather than re-keyed.
An Asset Register That Cannot Touch the Internet
The whole system installs on your own servers with no route out, and behaves identically to the hosted version. Users see only the establishments their clearance covers, and every custody handover is signed and permanently recorded.
Civic Assets With No Value Attached to Them
Accrual accounting under the National Municipal Accounts Manual requires civic assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, and CAG certification audit checks it. Vehicles, pumps and sanitation plant are valued and depreciated automatically, with repairs logged against the ward that reported them.
Cranes and Ground Equipment Where an Idle Hour Is Expensive
Cranes, tugs, dredgers and ground handling equipment work continuously, so a breakdown costs more than the repair. Servicing is triggered by actual running hours, and the high-value capital register stands up to the audit of the authority's accounts.
Equipment Sitting in Stores for Weeks Before It Reaches the Register
Purchase orders come in from GeM automatically and the tag is printed when goods clear inspection. Nothing waits in a corner untagged, and a second order for the same thing gets flagged.
None of These Quite Match?
Most operations have something awkward about them: shared equipment, staff who move between sites, an auditor who wants a particular format. Tell us yours and we will say honestly whether we can handle it.
