Case Study: RFID-Enabled Fixed Asset Inventory for Two Hotels in Egypt in Just 30 Days
Introduction: When Tax Deadlines Meet Asset Reality
A prominent Arab investment group operating in Egypt faced a compliance challenge — two of its flagship hotels in Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada needed to submit a detailed fixed asset registry to the Egyptian tax authorities in under 30 days.
With no recent asset tracking, and a growing portfolio of high-value items, the investor turned to DOIT to not only inventory the assets but implement a long-term solution: a modern RFID-enabled barcode system to streamline future audits and stocktaking.
The Challenge: Two Hotels, Two Cities, One Deadline
The mission involved:
- Two large hotels in different cities:
- Sharm El-Sheikh (Sinai Peninsula)
- Hurghada (Red Sea Coast)
- A 30-day deadline to deliver:
- Physical asset inventory
- Coded registry
- Barcode tagging (RFID)
- Tax-compliant documentation
- A zero-preparation starting point — no prior asset tagging or categorization system in place.
- The client required a future-proof solution that supports ongoing tracking, not just a one-time report.
DOIT’s Solution: Full RFID Asset Management System in 30 Days
To meet the aggressive timeline and high expectations, DOIT launched a two-phase strategy:
🟩 Phase 1: Physical Inventory & On-Site Audit
- Deployment of parallel field teams in Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada.
- Teams conducted a room-by-room scan of all assets — from electronics and furnishings to specialized hotel equipment.
- Each asset was:
- Photographed
- Categorized by type, usage, and location
- Assigned a unique RFID barcode
- Tagged on-site using weatherproof labels
🟩 Phase 2: System Integration & Tax Documentation
- Assets were uploaded into a centralized digital registry.
- DOIT’s IT team implemented a cloud-based RFID tracking system, accessible by the client’s internal accounting and logistics teams.
- A fully compliant fixed asset report was prepared for each hotel, aligned with Egyptian tax authority standards.
The Result: Compliance Met, Visibility Gained
DOIT successfully completed the project within the 30-day window, providing:
✅ RFID-coded digital registry for both hotels
✅ Visual asset catalog with searchable filters
✅ Barcoded assets tagged and traceable
✅ Tax-compliant documentation, approved by the client’s audit team
✅ Future-ready inventory system for rapid future stocktaking
The client not only met its regulatory deadline, but also gained a powerful internal system for controlling and monitoring assets — reducing risk, waste, and financial inaccuracies going forward.
Conclusion: DOIT Delivers Speed, Tech, and Trust
