The five pillars of asset governance
IT asset management
A single register for every laptop, phone, peripheral, server and licence — with auto-discovery, warranty tracking and replacement planning so IT stops working from a leaver spreadsheet.
Fixed-asset register
Per-category straight-line depreciation recalculated daily. Replacement value tracked separately from book value. Month-end CSV exports that reconcile to the GL without a spreadsheet detour.
Audit & verification
Walk the floor, scan a QR or NFC tag, confirm the custodian and condition with a signature. Every check-out is signed, timestamped and optionally GPS-stamped — chain of custody, not chain of emails.
Insurance readiness
Replacement value, serial numbers, photos and condition records ready for the insurance schedule. Insurance gap analysis flags assets the policy missed before the claim does.
AI governance
A live insights view shows missing assets, duplicate records, audit anomalies and high-risk devices — with a one-paragraph narrative explaining what to fix first.
Asset governance FAQ
What is asset governance, and how is it different from asset tracking?
Asset tracking answers "where is it?" — governance answers "is the register trustworthy, defensible at audit, current with insurance, and supportable by IT?" Governance combines IT asset management, the fixed-asset register, audit verification, insurance posture and lifecycle controls in one place rather than four disconnected tools.
Why does combining IT, finance and insurance in one platform matter?
Because every spreadsheet drift starts with two teams keeping separate registers. When IT issues a laptop, finance capitalises a cost and insurance schedules a replacement value — governance happens when those three events update one source of truth in one action, not three.
Who should run AssetTrack?
Mid-market IT teams, MSPs running fleets for clients, finance teams that need an audit-ready fixed-asset register, insurance brokers needing accurate schedules, and compliance teams that have to prove chain of custody on regulated devices.
How is the AI used?
AssetTrack runs deterministic SQL checks against your register (missing audits, duplicate serials, data gaps, lifecycle risk) and uses AI only to write a plain-English summary of what to fix first. The findings themselves are deterministic and auditable.
