Asset Tracking Software
Asset tracking for universities and colleges.
From lab instruments and AV equipment to laptops, library tech, and facilities assets, AssetTiger gives higher-ed teams one system across departments and campuses, with the records auditors and grant officers expect.
Start free. Up to 250 assets →No credit card required. iOS and Android scanner included
Scan any tag from your phone
Every department, from labs, library, and AV to athletics and facilities, tracks its own equipment its own way. When central administration or a grant auditor needs one reconciled list, it's a scramble.
Asset tracking software helps organizations answer three questions: what do we own, where is it, and who has it? It replaces spreadsheets and clipboards with scannable tags, a mobile app, and a shared database that updates as things change. AssetTiger is a cloud-based asset tracking platform used by more than 30,000 organizations, from five-person shops to school districts with thousands of items, with barcode scanning, check-in/check-out, maintenance scheduling, and audit reporting built in. If you have a list of things you need to stop losing, this is the starting point.
What it does
Everything you need to track an asset, without the clutter you don't.
Tag and scan
Generate barcodes or QR codes, print on any label printer or order durable tags, and scan with your phone. No dedicated hardware needed.
Check-in and check-out
Assign assets to a person, department, or location. Every handoff is logged with a timestamp and the name of the user who made it.
Maintenance scheduling
Set reminders for inspections, calibrations, warranties, and PM intervals. Get email alerts before deadlines.
Custom fields and reports
Add the fields that matter to your organization: fund code, grant number, purchase order, condition. Build reports around them, or choose from 80+ built-in report types.
Contracts and licenses
Track contracts, warranties, and software licenses alongside physical assets. Get alerted before expiry dates.
Audit and reconciliation
Walk the floor with the mobile app, scan each tag, and produce a reconciliation report showing what's found, missing, or moved.
How it works
From spreadsheet to scannable in an afternoon.

Check things out in seconds

Questions
Before you start.
Anything physical: IT equipment, tools, vehicles, furniture, medical devices, instruments, AV gear, facility equipment. If you can stick a tag on it, AssetTiger can track it.
A spreadsheet doesn't scan barcodes, log custody changes, send maintenance alerts, or produce audit reports. AssetTiger does all of that, with 80+ built-in report types, and multiple people can update it at once without breaking formulas.
Upload a CSV or Excel file. Our template maps common fields automatically, and the support team can help with anything custom.
No. Scan with the phone you already have (iOS or Android). Print labels on any office printer. That's it.
Plans start at $20/month for up to 500 assets and scale by asset count. Paid plans include unlimited users, so you only pay for what you track.
Yes. SSL encryption protects data in transit, intrusion detection protects the servers, and every edit is logged with a timestamp and user.
