Asset tracking software helps you keep tabs on equipment and other items, including their location and custody. Compare barcode scanning and QR code scanning with check-in/check-out records and GPS location tracking to see which tracking methods are listed. Asset limits can indicate capacity, while mobile apps may be relevant for managing items away from a desk. Check free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as you weigh the options. The named entries include Asset Giant, AssetTiger and Prey, as well as Reftab and AssetCenter. Consider how many assets you need to manage and whether scanning, movement records or location visibility are central to your work.
36 asset tracking software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
