How to Map and Manage Business Assets on an Interactive Map

Managing business assets across industries is complex, as locations scatter with maintenance, compliance, and operational risks while spreadsheets fail in real‑time tracking. ATM networks highlight these challenges, spread across hubs and highways with delays and threats. MAPOG transforms this landscape, enabling organizations to map and manage business assets through interactive attributes and structured workflows.

Key Concept: Why to Map and Manage Business Asset

The ability to visualize and manage business assets is essential. Without mapping, assets remain scattered and complex. Mapping ties them to locations, while management enforces accountability, simplifying oversight, reducing risks, and ensuring continuity across industries.

Steps to Map and Manage Business Assets

 1. Create a Location Template

Begin by opening MAPOG, then access the Task Management Dashboard to organize workflow.

Give your template a title, and color then set geometry to Point, and add attributes like ATM name (Text), ATM type (Select), and Address (address). Then enable contributor access so users can update details on‑site, save the attributes, and reuse the template across projects.

2. Build Completion Forms

Once the template is ready, move to Completion Form Setup to create a validation form before closing tasks. Select the location template, then add questions for all tasks or customize per task, such as technical checks (Multiselect) or setup photos (Image), and save.
