How a coastal municipality cut asset-census time by 60%

60% faster asset census, one source of truth

The municipality ran its fixed-asset register on spreadsheets and a legacy tool that didn't talk to finance. Annual census took months, custody was hard to trace, and depreciation was reconciled by hand.

With URBIS, assets, custody handovers and depreciation now live in one governed system with a full audit trail. Barcode-assisted census cut counting time dramatically, and finance reconciles to the general ledger automatically.

The first annual census on URBIS closed in weeks rather than months, with a single, defensible source of truth for auditors.
