Alternatives
Looking for an alternative?
Shortlists of the tools genuinely worth evaluating for each product — including the ones that are not us, and when staying where you are is the right answer.
How do you choose between asset tracking tools?
Start with what your equipment does rather than with feature lists. Equipment that moves between people needs custody and signatures. Equipment that breaks needs a CMMS. Stock you sell needs inventory software. Most shortlists get long because they mix all three categories together.
Equipment tracking & checkout
Alternatives to equipment tracking & checkout tools
Tools built around equipment that is issued to people and expected back.
Workplace & remote IT
Alternatives to workplace & remote it tools
Tools built around equipping employees — procurement, logistics and the IT estate.
IT asset management
Alternatives to it asset management tools
Device-estate tools, usually bought by IT and often bundled with a service desk.
Inventory & stockroom
Alternatives to inventory & stockroom tools
Stock and catalogue products. A different category from asset lifecycle — compared here so you can tell which problem you have.
Maintenance & CMMS
Alternatives to maintenance & cmms tools
Work-order platforms where the asset register exists to support maintenance.

Switching, answered
When is it worth switching asset tracking tools at all?
When the register has stopped being trusted, when pricing is pushing you to track less than you should, or when the tool cannot answer a question you are now asked routinely. Switching for a feature you would use twice a year rarely repays the disruption.
How hard is it to move asset data between tools?
Easier than most people expect, because almost every tool exports CSV and the shape of the data is similar. The genuinely slow part is relabelling, and that can usually be avoided by importing your existing codes.
Should we keep our old tool running during a switch?
For a week or two, yes. Importing into a new system deletes nothing from the old one, and a short parallel run costs little while people build the new habit.
What usually goes wrong with these migrations?
Trying to reach a complete, perfect register before anybody uses the new tool. The project stalls in data cleanup and the habit never forms. Import what you have, start using it, and fix records as they come up.
