Why Teams Choose AssetLab
Full Asset Lifecycle
Manage assets from acquisition to disposal with depreciation tracking, TCO analysis, and lifecycle stage visualization — not just maintenance.
FCI & Strategic Planning
Track Facility Condition Index across portfolios, forecast replacement costs over 20 years, and build defensible capital plans.
Transparent Published Pricing
Every user gets reporting, analytics, multi-site, and API access. No features locked behind $75+ USD/user tiers.
Canadian Data Residency
Operational data (assets, work orders, documents) stored in Canada with PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices, bank-grade encryption, and audit trails. Authentication via Clerk (US-based SSO provider) — sign-in data is subject to US jurisdiction; operational records are not.
Contract Management
Track contracts, expiration dates, renewal terms, and link them to assets and vendors — not available in UpKeep.
Risk Assessment Framework
Score assets using Likelihood of Failure × Consequence of Failure matrix with multi-dimensional impact assessment.
