Why teams choose AssetLab
Where AssetLab goes further than UpKeep
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
Two transparent, published CAD plans - CMMS at $45 and 360 at $65 - instead of four tiers where only the two lower ones carry a published price.
Canadian-Owned, PIPEDA-Aligned
AssetLab is Canadian-owned and headquartered in Vancouver, follows PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices, prices in CAD and contracts under Canadian law. The Trust Center names where data is hosted and every service that processes it outside Canada.
Contract Management
Track contracts, expiration dates, renewal terms, and link them to assets and vendors, which UpKeep does not offer.
Risk Assessment Framework
Score assets using Likelihood of Failure × Consequence of Failure matrix with multi-dimensional impact assessment.
