Equipment tracking software

Every handoff, dated and signed for.

See what you own, who has it, where it is, and what happened to it. Every tool, device, vehicle and machine carries its own tag, its current holder, and the record of the work done to it.

An equipment register in AssetCenter showing asset tags, manufacturers, models, serial numbers, categories, status, storage locations, and assigned people.

Know what you have, who has it, and what happened

One record, instead of a spreadsheet, an inbox and a filing cabinet that each hold part of the answer.

Identify every item

Tag, serial, make, model, condition, what you paid and what the warranty covers, on one record.

Make custody visible

Who has it now, where it is, and everyone who had it before.

Preserve the history

Every repair, inspection, dent and invoice, in the order it happened.

Current state and full history

Answer “who has it?” without losing “what happened?”

Current assignments stay at the top of the equipment record. The timeline underneath explains how the item got there: acquisition, checkout, transfer, maintenance, repair, condition change, return, storage, and retirement.

That works for a drill that changes hands daily and for an excavator that moves twice a year but racks up a decade of service.

For compatible vehicles and mobile equipment, optional GPS tracking adds the latest reported position and route replay to that same record.

Plan an equipment checkout workflow

At the point of work

Scan the tag, open the record, make the update.

Use a phone or tablet to scan barcode and QR labels. Staff can confirm the item, change its assignment or location, log work, attach evidence, and move on without returning to a desktop.

Use phones first

Start with printed labels and the cameras your team already carries. Add dedicated scanners only when volume or the environment requires them.

Record every handoff

Assign to a person, location, room, vehicle, job site, or storage area and retain the previous custodian instead of overwriting them.

Log what matters

Use built-in maintenance and repair events or create event types and fields that match the work your team actually performs.

Product fit

What AssetCenter equipment tracking covers

Built for gear that gets handed around. One record per item, and the record follows the item.

Equipment inventory

Tools, machinery, vehicles, devices, furniture and instruments, each with the fields its category needs.

Custody and location

Assignments, returns, storage moves and due dates, with the history behind every change.

Lifecycle evidence

Maintenance, repairs, inspections, damage, warranties, costs and files stay with the item.

Scope: Optional GPS tracking adds reported positions and route replay for compatible trackers. AssetCenter does not handle equipment reservations, rental invoicing, dispatch or warehouse quantity control.

Start with the records you have

Move from a spreadsheet without retyping it.

Import assets, people, and locations from Excel. AssetCenter validates the file before processing it and can create missing categories, people, and locations during the import.

Define categories and the fields each equipment type needs
Import a clean first scope instead of waiting for perfect data
Label and verify equipment as it enters the working process
Filter and export the register to Excel whenever needed

A practical first rollout

Choose one category

Start with equipment that moves often, costs the most, or causes the most searching.
2

Confirm current custody

Verify the person and location while attaching or scanning the tag.
3

Define required updates

Decide who records assignments, returns, maintenance, damage, and retirement.
4

Review exceptions

Use missing owners, overdue returns, upcoming work, and stale records to focus each review.

Direct answers

Equipment tracking software FAQs

It keeps one record per reusable item: what it is, who has it, where it is, what condition it is in and what it cost. A handoff or a scan should update that record, not start another list.

Yes. The record shows who has it and where it is right now, and the timeline underneath keeps everyone who held it before.

Teams can scan supported barcode or QR labels with a phone or tablet to open and update an asset record. Optional GPS tracking adds reported positions and route replay for compatible trackers; it is separate from accountable person and location assignments.

No. AssetCenter records maintenance, repairs, inspections and custody, but it does not provide technician dispatch, parts replenishment, equipment reservations, rental invoicing or quantity-based consumable stock control.
