The Asset Register feature allows you to create a list of assets owned by your organisation. With the ability to specify the code, the category it falls under, the purchase amount, and the name of the item owner. You can also use this feature to edit the asset details, update the category information, re-assign an item, and dispose of a piece of equipment if needed.

You can use Employment Hero's Onboarding Checklist functionality to assign and re-allocate your company's assets when an employee joins or leaves your organisation. You can use the Asset Report to make sure you keep track of your inventory, and the assets that need returning to your organisation.
