I'm feeling pretty dang good about myself! I've finally completed my asset management software to the point where I feel comfortable calling it v1.0!
So to recap, here's all the stuff you can do with the program in this build:
- Enter all basic fixed asset fields (serial number, asset tag #s, purchase information, etc)
- Categorize your assets by defining your own categories and subcategories for easy searching.
- Keep track of your asset's physical location (3 levels: Site, Location, Room)
- Assign ownership / responsibility by company (leases), department, and employee
- Create warranty and service contracts with expiration dates, assign assets to these contracts with their own expiration dates to track current coverage for all your assets.
- Schedule maintenance for assets and track the history of maintenance performed.
- Create issue / help desk tickets to assets. Assign the tickets to designated support users to resolve. Tracks the history of issue tickets and hours spent working on issues for the assets to help with ROI and future purchasing planning.
- Create purchase orders and generate batches of assets from purchase order line items pre-populated with all purchase order information.
- Administer your own logins, uses role based security to grant or deny access to every part of the system.
Coming soon:
- Subscribe to email notifications for expiring contracts, scheduled maintenance due, and issue ticket items.
- Depreciation calculations.
- More reports! (Basically I'm just going to build reports on customer demand)
After doing alot of research on competitors pricing, I decided to price on two levels, one for non-profit organizations and one for corporatations. Pricing is $899 / year for corporations and $599 / year for non-profits. All subscriptions include unlimited disk space, unlimited user accounts, and unlimited email tech support. My company handles all of the backups, and all modifications / patches /additions to the product are included in the subscription. Looking at other hosted companies prices I can comfortably say that I absolutely trounce them in terms of price.
For you spec geeks out there the product is ASP .NET written in C# with a SQL Server 2000 database. You'll be able to see the code someday as I plan on releasing a source - included version of this for purchase probably in early 2005. For now though I just want to focus on getting more customers in the door!
So if your company, or anyone you know could use software like this, please send them my way! I think this thing has the potential to be a lifesaver for schools, community services like fire departments, and small / midsized businesses. Also, if you know anything about how to market your software other than google let me know too, that's the next piece I'm exploring.
