Asset Management Software

Keeping track of assets can be a challenge to organizations large and small.  Assets can move locations, get reassigned to other people, get replaced, etc.  Management wants reports about asset allocation, usage and service history.  Accounting needs accurate data for tracking inventory and calculating depreciation.  Knowing what assets you have, where they are located, when they were purchased, if they are still in use, etc. is critical to any organization.

The Novo Asset Management Software is an extremely flexible solution that can be used as IT asset management system or a fixed asset management solution to help you gain and maintain control of this information.  Our asset management software is available as a stand alone tool or as part of the Novo Service Desk Suite.

• Improve Organization/Control:  Our asset management system takes the guess work out of where your assets are located, who is using them, etc..
  

• Reduce Time Spent Managing & Maintaining Assets: Complete flexibility/configurability allows any asset information to be tracked.  When combined with the completely integrated Novo Help Desk Software you can see which assets are requiring the most repair/service and have a better feel of when to replace them.
  

• Empower Your Help Desk/Service Desk Staff:  Help Desk staff can respond more effectively to end user trouble calls when they have access to detailed asset information (including installed software and hardware).
