Sunflower Asset Utilization Management Solution

Sunflower offers the ability to track the utilization of assets. Examples of such assets include photocopiers, cell phones, printers and Blackberrys®. These assets are often on maintenance contracts that bill customers a standard rate per period plus an additional charge for extra usage. 

Customers can keep track of the maintenance contracts and their standard charges as well as the specific usage details of the assets on that contract.  A set of dedicated reports allow you to compare invoice amounts vs. expected billing amounts, view the usage of each asset or groups of assets over time and quickly detect unusual activity to reduce waste, fraud and abuse.
