No visibility into total asset fleet value, age distribution, or replacement requirements

Implementation

How we implement asset tracking for your trades & construction business.

Digital Asset Register Setup

Create a comprehensive digital register of all tools, equipment, vehicles, and plant. Record purchase dates, costs, serial numbers, current locations, and assigned operators. Tag high-value assets with QR codes for mobile scanning.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Asset Panda, Make

Location and Assignment Tracking

Track asset movements between job sites, vehicles, and the workshop using mobile check-in/check-out. When assets are assigned to a job, update the register automatically. When jobs are completed, trigger asset return verification.

✓ Tools: Asset Panda, Make, Slack

Depreciation and Replacement Planning

Calculate depreciation automatically using ATO-approved methods. Generate replacement forecasts based on asset age, condition ratings, and utilisation data. Feed depreciation schedules to the bookkeeper for accurate tax reporting.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Xero, Make

Maintenance and Calibration Scheduling

Track maintenance schedules, calibration due dates, and safety inspection requirements for all equipment. Automate service reminders and flag assets that are overdue for maintenance or approaching end-of-life.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Make, Slack
