Catalog and manage your fixed assets by navigating to Resources->Equipment. This module is designed to streamline the process of tracking your fixed assets, ranging from vehicles and machinery to computers and furniture.

Users can easily attach photos, documents, or any relevant information directly to the asset profile, facilitating a more detailed and comprehensive asset inventory. This visual component not only simplifies the identification process but also serves as a valuable tool for maintenance, insurance claims, and audits.

In addition to robust inventory management, the Equipment module offers advanced depreciation calculation methods to ensure financial accuracy and compliance. Users can choose from four depreciation methods – Straight-line, Declining Balance, Sum of Year's Digits, and Units of Production. This flexibility allows businesses to tailor their depreciation strategies based on the specific needs of their assets and financial reporting requirements. Whether it's a fleet of vehicles or a range of high-tech machinery, the Equipment module empowers organizations to make informed decisions about asset lifecycles and replacement cycles, ultimately optimizing resource allocation and budget planning.
