Why Teams Choose AssetLab
Deploy in Weeks, Not Months
AssetLab is operational in 2-4 weeks with guided onboarding. SAP PM implementations typically take 6-18 months with dedicated consulting teams.
FCI Tracking & Capital Planning
Purpose-built FCI tracking and 20-year replacement forecasting. SAP PM has no native equivalent - these require custom development or third-party tools.
Predictable, Transparent Pricing
$65 CAD/user/month - all features included. No six-figure implementation costs, no annual maintenance fees, no consulting dependencies.
No Consultants Required
Self-service setup with guided onboarding. SAP PM typically requires certified consultants for configuration, customization, and ongoing changes.
Modern, Intuitive Interface
Clean, modern UI designed for rapid adoption by maintenance teams. No SAP GUI training required.
Canadian Data Residency
Operational data stored in Canada with PIPEDA-aligned practices (authentication via Clerk, a US-based SSO provider). SAP data residency depends on deployment region and hosting choices.

Choose AssetLab if you need:
- Mid-market organizations that need asset management without enterprise ERP complexity
- Teams that want to be operational in weeks instead of months
- Organizations needing FCI tracking and capital planning built in
