Never miss a service date
Every item's service and LOLER history is recorded against its barcode, so it's obvious what's due, overdue or out of use.

Why tag your assets
You can't manage equipment you can't find
Missing service dates, lost equipment and incomplete records are common problems on any site without a proper asset register. Asset tagging fixes all three.
Find equipment fast
Location is recorded each time an item is scanned, helping you find equipment quickly and spot items that have gone missing.
Audit-ready records
A complete, transparent history for every asset makes CQC inspections, internal audits and insurance claims far simpler.
A complete asset register without the spreadsheet
Most care homes and hospitals know roughly what equipment they have. Far fewer can say exactly how many beds, hoists, slings and chairs are on site, where each one is, and when each was last serviced or inspected. That gap is how service dates get missed and equipment goes missing.
Shepherd's asset tagging system closes that gap as part of your normal servicing.
How it works
- Tag: On our first visit, the engineer attaches a unique barcode to each item and records its type, make, model, serial number and location.
- Scan: On every later visit, the engineer scans each barcode and records the service or inspection carried out, its result and any recommended repairs.
- Report: After each visit, you receive a full electronic report and an updated asset list, giving you a transparent audit history for every asset.
What you get
- An accurate asset register: what you have, where it is and what condition it's in
- Service history per item: every service, LOLER examination and repair, dated and recorded
- Clear recommendations: repairs and replacements flagged item by item, so you can plan budgets
- Location records: updated each time an item is scanned, down to room level
- Evidence for inspections: a complete maintenance history ready for CQC inspectors, auditors and insurers
Better decisions, lower costs
Once every asset has a history, patterns become obvious: equipment that's under-used, models that keep failing, and items that cost more to repair than to replace. That helps you make informed decisions about purchasing, reduce losses and avoid buying equipment you already have.

Built into your servicing contract
Asset tagging is recommended for all rolling servicing contracts and works alongside our LOLER inspections and bed servicing, with no separate system for your staff to learn. It's included on your quote, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Asset tagging FAQs
How does your asset tagging work?
On our first visit, the engineer attaches a unique barcode to each item and records its details. On every later visit, they scan the barcode and record the service carried out and any recommended repairs. After each visit, a full electronic report is sent to you.
Does asset tagging cost extra?
We recommend asset tagging for all rolling servicing contracts, and include it in your quote so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Ask us during your free site survey.
Can you tag equipment you don't service?
Yes. A tagging survey is a good first step towards a complete, accurate asset register, and it can include equipment you're not yet ready to add to a contract.
Will the reports help with CQC inspections?
Yes. CQC expects providers to show that equipment is properly maintained. A dated service and inspection history for every asset is exactly the kind of evidence inspectors look for.
