Asset register

Import your assets, assign MapTrack QR tags, add the fields that matter and connect the related operating workflows. A latest GPS fix requires a configured device feed.

What is an asset register?

An asset register is the single, central record of every physical asset a business owns or controls: tools, plant, machinery, vehicles, IT and equipment. For each asset it holds the ID, category, location, custodian, status and configured fields. Related forms, assignments, service and work records remain accessible through their supported workflow views.

One register, everything on it

Build the register around verified workflows

Start with identifiers and fields, then add QR identification and the related operating workflows your team has tested.

Import a prepared register

Import CSV or XLSX after preparing the core columns and any required active custom fields. Test a small sample first.

Custom fields per asset type

Capture serial numbers, make and model, cost, warranty, site and cost centre. Each asset type holds the fields that matter.

QR and configured location

Generate QR tags for identification. Validate existing barcodes separately, and confirm device-feed delivery before relying on GPS data.

Related operating history

Keep assignments, submitted forms, work orders and service records accessible from the asset and their workflow pages.

Inspection evidence

Use configured forms, files and fields for required evidence. Confirm and test any reminder or follow-up automation.

Connected audits

Run an online audit against the required scope and use its skipped, unexpected and missing-item controls.

How it works

Three steps to a register you can trust

Import or create your assets

Import assets from CSV or XLSX, add them manually, or use AI photo prefill when enabled. Create required active custom fields first and test a sample import.

Explore import or create your assets

Label and link each asset

Generate and assign a MapTrack QR tag while connected. A scan identifies the asset and opens its linked record. Validate existing-barcode or configured GPS workflows separately.

Explore label and link each asset

Run the operating workflows

Use deliberate assignments, forms, work orders, service records and connected audits, then review the related history from the asset and relevant workflow pages.

Single source of truth

Retire the spreadsheet that everyone half-trusts

Spreadsheets go out of date the moment they are saved, and nobody is sure which copy is current. A live asset register helps by keeping assets and their related forms, assignments and work orders accessible from the asset and the relevant workflow. Use roles, connected mutations and periodic audits to keep the register reliable.

Not sure how to structure yours? Start with the free asset register builder, then import it into MapTrack when you are ready to go live.

Evidence on the asset

Inspections and certificates live on the record

Pre-starts, inspections, certificates and test-and-tag records attach to the asset, as configured forms, fields or files. Test any scheduled reminder or follow-up automation, and confirm with your compliance adviser which evidence your process requires.

Asset register FAQs

How to import, structure, identify and review assets with clear connectivity and evidence boundaries.

An asset register is a central record of the physical assets a business owns or controls. MapTrack can hold identifiers, category, location, custodian, status, custom fields and links to related forms, assignments, service and work records.

Import assets from CSV or XLSX, add them manually, or use AI photo prefill when the workspace AI setting is enabled. Create required active custom fields first, then test a small import before loading the full register.

Yes. Configure fields such as serial number, make, model, purchase date, cost, warranty or cost centre, then apply them to the relevant categories. Confirm the exact filter, view, report or export path needed for each field.

MapTrack generates QR tags. A supported phone browser or compatible keyboard-wedge scanner can resolve a supported code and open the linked record. Validate any existing-barcode workflow before rollout. The latest GPS fix can appear when a configured device feed is delivered; confirm broader telematics scope separately.

You can configure purchase and depreciation fields, use assignments to record custody changes, and keep related service, form and work history accessible from the asset. Confirm the exact depreciation method, disposal workflow and owner-only report needed before relying on it.

Configured forms, files and custom fields can keep inspection results, certificates, dates and supporting evidence linked to an asset. Test any date-based reminder or follow-up automation, and have your compliance adviser confirm the records your process requires.

Yes. Create an online audit for the required assignee and scope, then scan or review assets and complete the audit using the available skipped, unexpected and missing-item controls. Test the exact audit-day workflow before rollout.

Loaded QR tags can be scanned and loaded records can be opened offline. Previously loaded forms and work orders have documented offline completion paths and sync after reconnection. Assignment and audit actions require a connection. Test each field action before rollout.

An asset register tracks individual serialised records. Parts inventory tracks catalogue items, bins, quantities and stock transactions. MapTrack keeps those workflows distinct while allowing related task and cost references where supported.
