Abstract
An asset tracking system helps an enterprise correctly and efficiently determine when assets are created and when they are re-used. Re-use of assets often creates a positive impact, e.g., on other projects ongoing within the enterprise. The system detects the asset re-use, determines the asset impact, and automatically updates a dynamic profile of the asset creator to register the value of their work. In some implementations, the system implements a virtual currency system that also rewards the supervisors of the asset creator, and allows the virtual currency to be exchanged for project resources needed by the supervisors.
