This powerful asset manager tool provides a precise breakdown of the lifecycle of every asset in your system. Depreciation, disposal and revaluation history are handled automatically while details such as maintenance costs and insurance valuations are easy to track.

Asset lifecycle at-a-glance

When assets are valued, it is important to have a precise breakdown of the life cycle of events. With our asset manager software you can record all depreciation, disposal and revaluation history associated with each individual asset in the system. This information is presented in easy to use summary screens that show at a glance the value of an asset in the current year and a history for all previous years that the asset has been in existence.

Saving you time

The software depreciates your company's assets automatically and enables you to track other details such as maintenance and service costs. The nominal ledger is instantly updated following the calculation of monthly depreciation and revaluations and nominal ledger journals are created seamlessly for you. In addition, new acquisitions can be added to the register at any time selectively from the purchase ledger.

Manage valuations with ease

The in-built diary facility will ensure that important dates do not get overlooked. For example you can see instantly whether an asset is under or over insured, track MOT and service dates and much more.

Improve efficiency - linked assets

Asset Linking ensures related assets are reported together, making the process of managing your company's fixed asset register extremely easy.

All changes to an asset regarding depreciation, additions, disposals and revaluations are tracked with a full audit history. Asset duplication ensures conformity in the information entered against multiple assets.

Automated asset numbering and customisable bar code labels assist with the control of large numbers while location and ownership tracking ensure a true representation in your asset register.

Traceable and auditable

With a huge range of detailed reports and powerful drill down facilities, it's so easy to trace transactions from the lifetime of your system in the asset manager software.

Unlimited analysis

A detailed record is maintained for each asset with provision to record serial number, barcode, supplier details, location or owner of each asset, and much more.

Assets can be associated with a department or owner, and classified within user-definable categories such as finance, vehicle, plant, building and office equipment registers.  Each category has a depreciation frequency associated to it and a default number of years to depreciate.

Nominal accounts

Nominal account detail can be recorded system wide, against asset categories or at individual asset level. The software allows all assets to be depreciated, with or without a residual value, and they can be disposed of, or added to, at anytime.

Instant retrieval of historical information

All transactions are permanently recorded within an audit trail so a detailed and precise breakdown of an asset's history is always known. The information is presented in easy to use summary cards that show the current value of an asset (as well as values in all previous years) at the click of a button.

Manage large number of assets

Companies with a large number of assets to manage will save valuable time using asset manager features such as the mass disposal and asset duplication.

Make informed decisions

You can store virtually limitless information for each asset including photos and any associated documentation. The equipment database in the software acts as an additional information source.  Non-capital items and detail relating to those items can be recorded about an asset and tracked centrally, eliminating the need for several databases.

For example, when computer hardware is held in the asset register for depreciation, details of the software that it runs can be held in the equipment database.  This may include related licence dates, supplier details, and maintenance information.

Detailed information on all items valuable to your organisation, both capitalised and expensed, can be accessed. This facilitates decision making when it is not possible to view or physically review each asset at the time decisions must be made.

Flexible reporting

The powerful reporting function allows the production of a full range of regular reports using flexible user defined criteria.  Reporting definitions enable you to configure sorting, grouping, sub-totals, and filtering in the reports you require. An ad-hoc report writer provides the facility to generate custom reports.

Management functions

Effective use of this facility can save you enormous amounts of time in producing your asset-related management statements. Within the asset manager software you can report on current or past period transactions, define different summary views and produce the lead schedule needed for statutory annual accounts.

Depreciation forecasting

Depreciation forecasting assists in the preparation of future budgets by enabling forward-looking snapshots of an asset or a group of assets to be developed.

Asset management for non-accounts users

Two-way data exchange between the software and Excel has provides non-technical users with a very powerful tool for directly transferring data into spreadsheets. Non-auditable data can be transferred into Excel, manipulated and written back while time-consuming tasks, such as reorganising locations or updating renewal dates, can be carried out on large numbers of assets and also immediately written back.
