Atlas Assets v3.0.0 Release Notes

Safety & Risk Management • Inventory Management • Smarter Help Desk Workflows • Clearer Asset Identification

Atlas Assets v3.0.0 is a major release focused on strengthening everyday operational control across safety, stock management, internal workflows, and reporting.

The two biggest additions in this version are the introduction of a dedicated Safety & Risk Management area and the launch of a full Inventory Management module. Together, these additions help organisations record and monitor important operational activity more effectively, assign responsibility clearly, track actions to completion, and maintain stronger day-to-day visibility across stock, incidents, risks, and support workflows.

This release also improves the Help Desk experience by reducing unnecessary communications during ticket creation, adds asset-type prefixes for clearer identification across the system, and makes ticket conversations easier to follow by adapting messages to the recipient.

  • Use notifications to demonstrate that deadlines are actively monitored and managed.

Inventory Management Module

What’s New
Atlas Assets v3.0.0 introduces a full Inventory Management module, designed to help organisations record stock properly, monitor quantities and expiry dates, manage usage and disposal, and maintain a clear audit trail of stock activity.

This is a practical operational module for organisations that need stronger stock control, clearer traceability, and more effective day-to-day inventory management across stores, departments, teams, and service areas.

The Inventory menu includes:

  • Usage & Disposal

  • Overview

  • Stock movements

  • Orders

  • Categories

  • Custom report

Together, these pages provide a complete workflow for inventory setup, stock monitoring, movement tracking, replenishment, organisation, and reporting.

How to Use It
Go to Inventory from the main menu and choose the page that matches the task:

  • Usage & Disposal to record stock usage and disposal

  • Overview to monitor stock levels, expiry, and shortages

  • Stock movements to review movement history

  • Orders to manage replenishment workflows

  • Categories to organise items

  • Custom report to generate flexible reports


Inventory Item Setup and Stock Control

What’s New
Each inventory item can now be configured as a proper stock record, rather than just a simple item name.

The item setup supports fields such as:

  • name

  • colour

  • code

  • barcode

  • warehouse location

  • purchase date and time

  • risk

  • category

  • description

  • supplier

  • retail price

  • stock

  • minimum stock level

This provides the foundation for stronger stock control and more useful reporting.

How to Use It

  1. Create or open an inventory item.

  2. Complete the item details, including stock, supplier, category, and storage information.

  3. Set the minimum stock level to support replenishment monitoring.

  4. Add expiry and batch settings where applicable.


Batch Management with FIFO and FEFO per Item

What’s New
Batch management can be configured per inventory item, allowing organisations to choose the most suitable handling method depending on the item.

The item screen supports:

  • enabling Inventory Batches

  • recording Batch Details

  • recording Expiry Date

  • setting Notification Days

  • choosing the Batch Consumption Mode

  • allowing staff to override the preferred batch

  • requiring a reason for override

The supported batch consumption modes are:

  • FIFO – First In, First Out

  • FEFO – First Expired, First Out

At the point of usage or disposal, the system does not simply force the batch selection. Instead, it can warn the user if the wrong batch is selected, helping teams follow the correct stock rotation process while still allowing controlled override where appropriate.

How to Use It

  1. Open the inventory item record.

  2. Enable Inventory Batches where needed.

  3. Enter the batch number, expiry date, and notification days.

  4. Select the appropriate Batch Consumption Mode for that item.

  5. Decide whether override should be allowed, and whether a reason should be required.

  6. When the item is later used or disposed of, the system will warn the user if the selected batch does not match the preferred handling logic.


Usage & Disposal

What’s New
The Usage & Disposal page is designed for fast, practical stock handling in real operational environments.

It works across:

  • desktop computers

  • laptops

  • tablets

  • smartphones

  • touch-screen devices

Users can record stock movements quickly using:

  • a barcode scanner / hand scanner

  • a QR reader

  • manual on-screen controls

This makes it easier to record what has been used or disposed of without relying on a fixed workstation.

How to Use It

  1. Go to Inventory → Usage & Disposal.

  2. Scan the barcode or QR code, or select the item manually.

  3. Adjust the quantity using the on-screen controls.

  4. If the item uses batch management, review any batch warning shown by the system.

  5. Confirm the movement.

  6. The stock is updated and the movement is added to the stock history.


Inventory Overview

What’s New
The Overview page provides a quick operational summary of stock status in one place.

It includes visibility of:

  • Total items

  • Low stock products

  • Out-of-stock items

  • retail price

  • current stock

  • storage location

  • risk

This makes it easier to identify shortages, stock risks, and items that need attention.

  3. Use the stock table to:

    • check current stock

The page shows:

  • Date / Time

  • low stock replenishment

  • out-of-stock response

  • routine stock ordering

  • minimum stock level

  • low stock visibility

  • out-of-stock visibility

This helps organisations respond earlier and manage replenishment more effectively.

  • category-based analysis

How to Use It

  1. Go to Inventory → Custom report.

  2. Choose the report criteria you need.

  3. Generate the report for internal review, audits, purchasing decisions, or management reporting.

 

Improvements in the ticket creation process

What’s New
The Help Desk workflow now supports assigning responsibility and status at the point of creation:

  • You can assign a technician during ticket creation

  • You can set the ticket status during creation

  • The process is consolidated so that only one email/notification is sent, reducing communication noise compared to the previous “one action = one message” behaviour

How to use it

  1. Go to Help Desk → Tickets → Create Ticket.

  2. Enter the ticket details.

  3. Before saving:

    • Select the Technician/Assignee

    • Set the Status (e.g., New / Assigned / In progress)

  4. Save the ticket – assignment and status are applied immediately.


Asset type prefixes added across the system

What’s New
All assets now have clear, consistent prefixes for faster recognition in lists, search, and exports.

Prefixes

  • Buildings → BL

  • Equipment → EQ

  • Furniture → FU

  • Devices → DV

  • Group Devices → GD

  • Document Library → DL

  • Software Licences → SL

  • Fleet → FL

How to use it

  • Create and view assets as normal – prefixes appear automatically alongside asset records.

  • Use prefixes in searches and exports to segment asset types quickly.


Ticket messages now adapt to the recipient

What’s New
Ticket conversations are now easier to read. Messages adapt based on the recipient, improving clarity when different roles are involved (requesters, technicians, managers).

How to use it

  • No change to your workflow – continue posting ticket updates as usual.

  • The thread presentation adjusts to improve readability for the person viewing/receiving the message.
