Why Asset Pro?​

Traditional asset management solutions force businesses into rigid structures. Asset Pro introduces a revolutionary dual-structure architecture that separates concerns:

Structure 1: Classification Hierarchy (What IS it?)​

Organize your assets using unlimited configurable levels with dynamic terminology:

  • Fleet Management Example: Fleet → Vessel Type → Vessel Model

  • Medical Equipment Example: Department → Equipment Category → Device Model

  • Construction Example: Division → Equipment Type → Manufacturer → Model

Structure 2: Physical Composition (What's INSIDE it?)​

Track actual physical assembly and component relationships:

  • Vessel → Engine → Turbocharger

  • MRI Machine → Cooling System → Compressor

  • Excavator → Hydraulic System → Pump

Structure 3: Component BOM (What standard PARTS does it use?)​

Link assets to standard Business Central Items for parts inventory:

  • Vessel → Propeller Blades (Item), Navigation Lights (Item)

  • MRI Machine → Helium Tank (Item), RF Coils (Item)

  • Excavator → Hydraulic Oil (Item), Filters (Item)

Key Innovation​

Separation of Classification from Composition: Unlike traditional systems that confuse organizational categories with physical assembly, Asset Pro keeps them separate and clear.

Who Should Use Asset Pro?​

  • Multi-industry businesses with diverse asset types

  • Companies with 100-100,000+ assets to manage

  • Industries: Marine, Medical, Construction, IT, Manufacturing, Rental, Fleet Management

  • Organizations requiring flexible terminology and unlimited hierarchy depth
