Asset Manager

Asset Manager is software from KZ Software for recording the fixed assets a business owns. It keeps track of what each item is, where it is, what it cost and who currently has it. Despite its listing category, it is an equipment and asset register rather than an investment tool.

What Asset Manager offers

• Check in and check out — lend computers and tools to employees, set due dates and run reports on overdue items.
• Barcodes — print barcodes for assets or use existing ones, and find items with a scanner or quick search.
• Service records — store service instructions, vendors, contacts, manuals and pictures against each item.
• Stocktake and depreciation — carry out a fixed asset stocktake and calculate an annual depreciation schedule.
• Reports — print or save asset reports in several formats.
