Pros

  • Cloud-Based - I can access it anywhere with an internet connection.

We built into our site the ability to maintain our credit card machines and utilize and check-in/check-out tracking system and even built into it the ability to audit the devices for tamper checks to update the tamper check automatically.
  • Pictures & Documents - On any asset I can now upload quotes, internal requisitions, receipts, and pictures with each asset! This makes my inventory a one stop shop for all documentation for each asset.

Cons

  • Time-out settings on the website should be increased.
  • Image structure on the way they organized photos could be improved.
  • Barcode scanner on a mobile device could be improved.

Pros

  • It is great for a non profit organization because you can add any columns you need to the asset. For example, I have added a funding source column to sort different grants that have paid for our assets.
  • Asset Panda provides the depreciation calculation for you.
  • The software is easy to maneuver. It can be easily searched and sorted by type of asset/date or any category you create.
  • You can add and track non depreciable items as well. Reports can be ran for just depreciable assets when needed so this will not interfere with you depreciable asset listing.

Cons

  • When entering dates, the first available date is 2005. If you have assets that predate this, you cannot enter an accurate date. This also interferes with you depreciation in the software.
  • We tag all products with an ID number. However we started also adding bar code tags. Since they were both considered an asset IDs, we lost some of ID numbers when we scanned the bar codes. It was too easy to loose data.
  • I use straight line depreciation so this product is perfect for our company; however, if you added other depreciation methods that may attract more customers.

Return on Investment

  • I use this software for a non profit so there is no return on investment. However, it has helped us with grant reporting. Some grants need us to track assets and depreciation that their funds purchased and this software has been very helpful.
