2019 Review of Asset Panda

Asset Panda is a flexible online asset management tracking program best suited for businesses that have a variety of asset types that need to be managed. Asset Panda also offers easy mobile capability and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Android smart phones and tablets. The mobile app offers complete integration with the online application and includes easy inventory/asset check in and check out capability.

Along with complete asset management capability, Asset Panda recently released four new modules; Inventory Management, Purchase Orders, Request Tickets and Vendor Management. The new Inventory Management module enhances inventory management capability in the application, combining it with its asset management platform that can be utilized across multiple locations. The inventory module also allows users to manage inventory in multiple warehouses, combine inventory and assets into a custom configuration for better tracking, transfer inventory levels between multiple warehouses, and track both assets and inventory using a product UPC code, serial number, or model/asset name. The product also offers a variety of customization capabilities, with users able to add custom fields to insurance records, work orders, and warranty listing pages, add custom calculation fields, and create both work order and check out forms for assets.

Along with standard inventory tracking, Asset Panda tracks all assets and related information such as warranty, insurance policy details, repair and maintenance records, and depreciation, along with the ability to check assets in and out, assigning them to employees as needed. Users can also add photos, videos and other documents directly to any asset tracked in Asset Panda. Users can also import assets from another application directly into Asset Panda if necessary.

Asset Panda’s mobile app allows users to easily scan assets in and out of the system using the mobile barcode scanner. Assets can also be tracked using GPS for quick location and Asset Panda supports a variety of barcode types including QR Codes, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, and LOGMARS. The product also allows users to generate barcodes at no additional cost by using the built-in add barcode template function. Users can then generate the specific label(s) needed and print the barcodes using Avery labels. All barcode labels are created as a PDF to simplify the printing process.

Designed to track company assets of any kind, including tools, books, equipment, computers, and appliances, Asset Panda does not currently support a manufacturing environment of any kind, and the product is not really suited for distributors. Asset Panda does not currently offer multiple pricing levels or discount pricing options. 

Asset Panda includes a decent amount of reports, with users able to print the report as it appears, edit the report as needed, or simply choose to print the automated report. There are a variety of asset reports available in the application including Asset Listing, Asset by Location, and Asset Report with Photos. Users can also utilize Microsoft Word to create and add pre-defined forms to Asset Panda for better tracking.  All Asset Panda reports can be viewed on screen or edited prior to printing, with all reports created as a PDF for easy sharing and report saving. Reports can also be exported as a CSV file for easy customization if desired.

Mentioned earlier, users can easily import data from other applications into Asset Panda. The product also offers integration with a variety of third-party applications including Zen Desk, G Suite, FreshService, Zebra, and Avery Labels, with integration with Zapier due in the near future.

Asset Panda includes a complete user guide as well as easy access to product help from anywhere in the application. A searchable knowledgebase is available, and users can access white papers, the Asset Panda Blog, brief product videos and FAQs directly from the vendor’s website. Product support is available during regular business hours, with both toll-free telephone support and email support options offered.

Best suited for businesses of any size that have a high number of assets to track internally, Asset Panda also offers basic inventory tracking capability as well. Asset Panda pricing can be obtained directly from the vendor upon request, with interested parties able to request a free 14- day trial, which can be updated to a full subscription if purchased.
