Asset Register Deep Dive

How the register works underneath: asset statuses, what updates automatically and what waits for review, how a visit plan splits a large site across the year, how coverage is worked out, the pre-loading rules, QR tags, and bulk import including panel exports.

Last updated: 26 September 2026

The 30-second version: the Asset Register tracks your customers' equipment - fire extinguishers, alarm panels and devices, emergency lighting, fire doors, electrical boards, EV chargers and more - across its whole life. Engineers keep it up to date by filling in their service worksheet or scanning a QR tag: routine updates apply automatically, and anything consequential (new equipment, condemned or missing items) waits for office review. Registered assets pre-load into worksheets on every job at the site, and on a large site a visit plan shares them out across the year.

The journey of a piece of equipment: the site register is fed by imports, hand entry and completed worksheets; a service contract decides which worksheet a visit gets; when a job is raised the worksheet is pre-filled from the register; the engineer confirms rows, adds from the register or scans a tag, and signs off; history flows back to the register and consequential changes wait for office review.
The register feeds the sheet; the sheet feeds the register. Nothing is typed twice.

Availability

The whole asset module is included on the Business plan - the register, pre-loading, the visit plan, coverage, QR/NFC tags, the per-site register PDF and bulk import. Starter and Team plans don't include any of it.
