Resource Management Dashboard
Collect and Monitor Critical Asset Information
The Resource Management solution leverages unique ArcGIS Online features along with Dashboards to provide a dynamic approach to equipment inventory collections.
It is a difficult task for military organizations to track equipment location, ownership and operational status. It’s a common practice to share resources among units within a larger command. The National Guard is one of the most involved organizations in the country. They consistently respond to a variety of events that require a multitude of resources and equipment to successfully complete resulting missions.
Units deploying Resource Management are normally searching for a way to maximize their efficiency and take a data-driven approach to asset management. The solution quickly organizes all collected data into various asset categories and types. Logistics personnel and leadership are able to select and filter equipment information based on a variety of options.
The solution enables a military organization to quickly upload their installations and resource inventory data. Immediately after datasets have been uploaded, the solution will execute a join function and combine the two files. Resource Management will rapidly begin to organize it all into a modern and interactive user interface.

From Spreadsheet to Interactive Interface
Know Your Equipment’s Location and Operational Status
The Resource Management solution empowers organizations to capture critical asset information from the lowest to highest levels of command.
The solution deploys with two spreadsheets: military installations and resource inventories. All units within a command or region reporting to a headquarters or command center will use these files to submit their equipment inventories. The datasets collect important information such as: installation name, address or lat/long, equipment category, date, etc.
Resource Management was mainly designed to be submitted by logistics personnel at each subordinate unit. All collected information will easily be aggregated by the solution where supporting staff and leadership can review and analyze.
The inventory data is displayed by total installation entries and total equipment count. Four resource statuses are tracked: Total On-Hand, Available, Non-Mission Capable, and Event Tasked. The embedded map will show the exact unit location and associated equipment that was submitted.
This immediate interaction between the included forms and Web Apps allows for rapid dissemination and intelligent decision making. The solution gives the organization the freedom to isolate a specific unit, date, asset category or type and find crucial information within seconds.
Finally, Resource Management deploys preloaded with a comprehensive list of domains to support a general command structure. The solution also comes with a multitude of asset categories and equipment types. Some military organizations will continue to use the included lists while others will find it easier to modify the embedded options to compliment their workflows.
