Excel can be a useful tool for setting up very basic equipment tracking and asset tracking systems. So, in addition to listing asset tracking software, I have included a start on a simple Excel template that you may download. I would be interested to see examples of how you use it, and would welcome suggestions for what to include in it.
 Download the Equipment Tracking Template
Possible Uses for an Asset Tracking Template
- Home inventory tracking document.
- See my page about inventory spreadsheets
- Computer asset tracking.
- Keeping track of model numbers and serial numbers of computers in a small business setting
- Equipment maintenance tracking.
- Keep track of maintenance and depreciation for capital equipment
- Tool or other equipment check-in and check-out.
- If you need a quick-and-dirty method, without creating an elaborate database, Excel is quite useful
If you are in need of a more advanced fixed-asset tracking system, there
is an amazing amount of software available for that purpose. In my efforts to figure
out what might be valuable to include in an Excel template for equipment tracking,
I came across a site that provided some nice trial software: CorporateEdgeSoftware.com
Free Asset Tracking Software
- Free Asset Tracking Downloads - HandyArchive.com - This site provides downloads of free asset management software and other tracking software. Like most download sites, you'll find that much of what is listed as "free" is really just shareware or "lite" versions that have some limitations but are otherwise fully functional.

And don't waste your valuable time struggling with user-unfriendly software. Computer Admin Pro's asset management and help desk application is quick to learn and easy to use." This company offers a fully functioning version, but with a limitation on the number of records you can enter.
