Introduction

The Office Equipment Management Add-On helps organizations keep track of all their office equipment in one place. It lets administrators organize equipment by categories and locations, and keep detailed records of each item, including purchase date, status, and assigned user. The system also allows tracking maintenance, transfers between locations, disposals, and usage, giving a clear history of every piece of equipment. This makes managing office resources easier, more organized, and more efficient.
