E-FAT capabilities are extensive. It tracks all equipments previously categorized. More than that, when an item can contain trackable sub-parts, it is almost impossible to track down these sub-parts. With E-FAT, this problem is eliminated because the user can see all the information on a particular item, its history, or if there is any sub-parts inside the main item. With smart search filters, tree-control and point- and click capabilities, users can check on any asset anytime.

     The software assigns a unique alphanumeric identifier for all trackable items. These numbers are then transformed into barcodes, which is then used for inventory. Different locations are also assigned a unique barcode. By doing this, the software can populate all items by location; so if a user does inquiry on a particular location, it will list down all the items under it.

     Another tool currently included in the system is a PDA support utilizing Palm Technology with Symbol Barcode Scanner. Users can exchange information through the Palm cradle and can basically go around different location to do just about everything. Since location is also assigned a barcode, users can go around; scan the location, and every item on that location can be accounted. Option for wireless technology can also be customize.
