Study Reveals Critical Trends for Maximizing Equipment Value and Operational Efficiency
Tampa, United States - June 5, 2025 / Cheqroom /
Cheqroom, a leading enterprise asset management platform, has released its in-depth State of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) report. This comprehensive study uncovers the critical trends and often-overlooked challenges reshaping asset management for 2026 and beyond, providing organizations with actionable insights to dramatically improve operational efficiency and maximize equipment value.
Based on extensive data from hundreds of industry professionals who manage valuable equipment, the study offers a distinctive view into the future of asset management. The results highlight major opportunities and ongoing challenges companies face in optimizing their equipment's value, delivering clear, actionable recommendations to help reduce costs and improve operational performance.
Key Findings from the Report Some Key Takeaways From the Report
1. Hidden Equipment Costs Sabotage Your Bottom Line
The data reveals many organizations incur substantial costs from broken, missing, or unavailable assets. Approximately 90% of respondents reported facing significant challenges, even when they believed their current asset management systems were adequate.
2. Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Integrated Systems Are the Key to Success
While many assume a single enterprise asset management system will solve all their challenges, the research shows there's no one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, respondents using multiple integrated, data-driven tools reported significantly fewer delays and higher productivity.
3. User Empowerment Drives Efficiency
The study highlights the critical role of shared visibility and control, demonstrating that systems empowering both administrators and end-users consistently outperform, while setups lacking adequate user training or adoption face significant challenges.
4. Spreadsheets Are Out, Asset Management Tools Are In
While 56% of organizations still rely on spreadsheets or other manual tools, teams using modern asset management tools demonstrate better equipment maintenance, improved scalability, and fewer lost assets.
5. Asset Management as a Critical Strategy for 2026: Making the Most of Existing Resources
The report emphasized that moving beyond the status quo and establishing clearly defined processes will be critical for organizations aiming to thrive in this economy.
“Our research confirms what industry leaders have long suspected — that effective asset management doesn’t just support operations, it drives them,” says Jim Hite, CEO of Cheqroom. “This report goes beyond identifying pain points; it’s a blueprint for businesses to optimize resources, reduce waste, and increase productivity by leveraging data-driven strategies.”
The State of Enterprise Asset Management report serves as an essential blueprint, offering practical recommendations for organizations to craft a proactive, data-driven strategy that ensures operational excellence in the evolving 2026 landscape.
