Asset management software for Canadian organizations

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) built for Canadian public and private sector organizations. Historical cost and amortization for PSAB 3150, O. Reg. 588/17 levels of service and CAD capital forecasting, managing assets from acquisition to replacement.

Built for Canadian compliance

Cost and amortization for PSAB 3150, levels of service for O. Reg. 588/17, and the condition records a plan draws on, so the figures you report on come out of the same system.

Plan capital years ahead

Condition, age, and cost data feed 20-year replacement forecasts and defensible budget submissions for council and board.

Maintenance and strategy in one

Full CMMS work management plus EAM lifecycle planning in a single platform - one database, one login, no second tool to buy.

The cost of unmanaged public assets

Canadian organizations carry real reporting and planning obligations. When asset data lives in disconnected spreadsheets, compliance becomes a scramble and capital forecasts become guesswork. A single system of record turns both into routine.

PSAB 3150

Capital assets go unreported

Public-sector organizations must account for tangible capital assets under PSAB 3150. Without a system of record, valuation, depreciation, and impairment tracking happen in disconnected spreadsheets.

O. Reg. 588/17

Levels of service stay undefined

Ontario municipalities must publish current and proposed levels of service across all infrastructure. Condition data scattered across departments makes a defensible plan nearly impossible.

20 years

Capital forecasts run on guesswork

Council and board budget requests demand long-range replacement forecasts. When age, condition, and cost data are not connected, the forecast is a guess - and the funding case falls apart.

Defensible 20-year capital planning

Project replacement costs in Canadian dollars and build budgets council and board can trust. Risk-based prioritization ranks investments by Likelihood of Failure x Consequence of Failure - so funding goes where the risk actually is.

  • 20-year replacement forecasting with scenario modeling
  • LoF x CoF criticality scoring and investment prioritization
  • Budget allocation tools and council/board presentations
  • Cost, depreciation, and net book value for PSAB reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about EAM, PSAB compliance, capital planning, and how AssetLab fits Canadian organizations.

What is asset management software?
Asset management software (also called EAM - Enterprise Asset Management) helps organizations track, manage, and maintain physical assets throughout their lifecycle. This includes tracking asset condition, planning maintenance, forecasting replacements, and making data-driven capital investment decisions. For Canadian organizations, it should also support PSAB 3150 tangible capital asset reporting.
What is the difference between CMMS and EAM?
CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) focuses on maintenance operations like work orders and preventive maintenance. EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) includes CMMS functionality but adds lifecycle management, capital planning, financial integration, and strategic planning capabilities. AssetLab combines both CMMS and EAM functionality in one platform.
Do Canadian organizations need PSAB compliant asset management software?
Canadian public sector organizations including municipalities, school boards, and government agencies should use PSAB (Public Sector Accounting Board) compliant software for asset management. PSAB 3150 requires tangible capital asset accounting, which asset management software can support through proper tracking and valuation.
What are the TBS Guidelines for asset management?
Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) Guidelines provide direction for federal government asset management. Key frameworks include the Policy on the Planning and Management of Investments and the Directive on the Management of Real Property. Asset management software should support compliance with these frameworks.
How does asset management software support capital planning in Canada?
Asset management software supports Canadian capital planning by tracking asset condition (FCI), forecasting replacement costs, enabling risk-based prioritization, and generating reports for budget submissions. For municipalities, this supports O. Reg. 588/17 compliance; for federal organizations, TBS investment planning requirements.
Can asset management software integrate with Canadian GIS systems?
Yes, modern asset management software can integrate with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) commonly used in Canada. This enables spatial visualization of assets, integration with municipal mapping systems, and coordination with infrastructure planning tools used by Canadian organizations.
