What asset tracking software does

Asset tracking software keeps a record of everything your business owns and uses: computers, tools, vehicles, phones and machines. Each item has a tag, a place and a status, so nobody has to ask who took the drill or where the spare laptop went.

Small businesses usually start with a spreadsheet and outgrow it quickly. Rows go stale, nobody knows who edited what, and equipment disappears between jobs. A shared register fixes that without adding paperwork.

What small teams get with the Assets and inventory app

  • An automatic tag for every item

    Each asset gets a tag from its category, such as LAP-1003, so you can label it and find it in seconds.

  • Check out and check in

    Hand an item to a person and record where and in what condition it came back. The status changes for you.

  • Statuses that mean something

    Available, In use, In repair and Retired, shown at a glance, with summary boxes at the top that filter the list.

  • A full history

    Every change and note is kept on the item, so you can see who had it and what happened to it.

  • Value as it ages

    Enter the cost, resale value and useful life and see today's book value, worked out automatically.

  • Scan a tag

    Point a phone camera at a barcode where the browser supports it, or type the tag or use a hardware scanner.

  • Your own categories and places

    Start from ready-made categories and locations, then add your own. Only admins can delete them.

  • Linked to the rest of your workspace

    Staff, departments and sign-in are shared with tickets, work orders and projects, so there is nothing to set up twice.
