Feature · Asset Register

One source of truth,
across every site.

The asset register is the spine of your operation. We built ours around the fact that it's never really one building — it's a hierarchy, a history, a stack of manuals and warranties, and a running tally of what each thing has cost you.

Six things the register does that yours probably doesn't

Beyond a flat list of things you own.

Most registers are a spreadsheet with extra steps. Ours is a living record — hierarchy, lifecycle, parts, docs, QR codes, and a repair-vs-replace engine that actually tells you what to do.

01 · HIERARCHY

Nested any way you run it.

Company → site → building → area → line → asset → sub-asset. 8 levels deep. Drag & drop to reorganise — WO history follows the asset, not the path.

02 · LIFECYCLE

Know when to cut it loose.

Every asset has a commissioning date, warranty window, run hours, and a predicted end-of-life. We flag the tipping point from "maintain" to "replace" before your CFO asks.

03 · BILL OF MATERIALS

Parts attached, not guessed.

Every asset carries its BOM. When a WO consumes a part, stock drops automatically. Reorder thresholds trigger POs; techs never open a job to find the shelf empty.

The binder, digitised.

Manuals, SOPs, photos, warranty certs — pinned to the asset. Techs see relevant docs inside the WO on their phone; no hunting in SharePoint for the torque spec.

The concept · Asset Definitions

Describe the type once. Every asset inherits.

Most registers treat every asset as a standalone row — so the user manual for your HVAC gets uploaded fourteen times, the PM checklist gets copy-pasted, and the spec sheet goes stale on six of them. Asset Definitions fix that.

A definition is a template for an asset type — say, "HVAC Unit · Model RTU-7500". It carries the shared fields, PM checklists, parts list, and attached files. Every individual unit is an instance that inherits all of it.

  • Upload the user manual once on the definition — it appears on every HVAC unit, including ones you add next year
  • Shared fields (manufacturer, model, PM interval) live in one place — update once, updated everywhere
  • Asset-level files still belong to the asset — warranty certificates with serial numbers, nameplate photos, site notes
  • No duplicate files eating storage. No "which PDF is current?" on Slack
The end of the document hunt

When a tech opens a WO on their phone, every relevant doc is there — inherited from the definition or attached to that specific asset. No hunting in SharePoint for the torque spec.

Migration · four steps

From a CSV to a browsable register in an afternoon.

We've imported from Excel, Fiix, Limble, UpKeep, Maximo, and seven flavours of bespoke SQL. Upload what you have — we'll map it for you.

1

Upload

Drop your asset list — CSV, XLSX, or direct CMMS export. We read up to 500,000 rows in one go.

≈ 2 minutes
2

Column map

Auto-detects common schemas. Reviewable before commit — nothing lands in your workspace until you approve.

≈ 5 minutes
3

Hierarchy

Build the tree by choosing parent fields (site, area, line). Drag to reorganise after, nothing breaks.

≈ 15 minutes
4

Enrich

We pull serial numbers, manual links, and BOM suggestions from public manufacturer data when available.

≈ overnight
