What is Asset Management?

In Tanda, the Asset Management feature allows you to store important information about any equipment, tools, and more in your account. This information can include:

  • Purchase date and details

  • Brand, model, and serial numbers

  • Warranties

  • Repair records

  • Maintenance records

  • Contracts or leases

  • Insurance documents and any other files

Staff can also record when they check in and check out equipment via the mobile app, ensuring you always know where your assets are. Use the detailed history to drive accountability, and share when assets are unavailable with the broader team.
