One of the benefits of operating leasing was the fact that it instilled a degree of discipline in lessees to manage the life of individual assets, their utilisation and their return at lease expiry in the pre agreed condition. The anticipated reduction by some lessees of leasing may lead to neglect of asset management. This important role, particularly under the Prudential Code, needs to be maintained with the implementation of professional asset management systems.

Arlingclose can provide this expertise through both advice and provision of a bespoke asset management software programme called GO4ASSET. Developed in association with a leading software provider, the package empowers a local authority to better control the management of assets. It can interface with other software packages and comes with full technical support.

As part of a larger asset management plan GO4ASSET allows greater control of operational assets.
