How Asset Management looks

Web cockpit for the asset manager. Mobile for the auditor.

Asset managers see lifecycle status, maintenance schedules, audit history and depreciation positions. Field auditors scan QR codes, capture maintenance entries and complete OTP handovers on mobile.

Asset Management dashboard — asset registry list with code, name, category, book value, location, status (Available / Allocated / In maintenance) and right-rail asset detail (Identity, Purchase, Depreciation)

What Asset Management replaces

Excel registers and paper handovers — replaced.

Most operations-heavy organisations still track physical assets on Excel registers, paper handover slips and notebook maintenance logs. Asset Management replaces all of that with a 5-pillar workflow that's fraud-proof, audit-ready and integrates into any host ERP.

  • One asset record — purchase, allocation, maintenance, audit, disposal
  • QR / RFID tagging — scan, don't search
  • OTP-verified handovers — no fake transfers, no missing assets

What is inside Asset Management

Five pillars. One asset lifecycle.

Each pillar covers a real friction point in the physical asset lifecycle. Adopt them individually or plug all five into your host ERP — they share the same asset master.

  • Asset Registry

    Register every asset with purchase, depreciation schedule, warranty, insurance and calibration details. Audit-ready from day one.

  • Allocations

    Allocate to agents, MCCs, VLCs, plants, stores or external parties — with auto-generated handover slips, optional QR codes and full traceability.

  • Maintenance

    Preventive and breakdown maintenance with key KPIs — MTBF (mean time between failures), MTTR (mean time to repair) and total cost of ownership.

  • Audit

    Mobile-first physical audits with QR scanning, discrepancy reports and missing-asset investigations — closing the gap between book and reality.

  • Handover

    Secure OTP-based verification ensures fraud-proof handovers between any two holders. Every transfer logged, every party identified, every action audit-trailed.

  • Calibration & Warranty Tracking

    Calibration schedules for instruments, warranty expiry alerts, insurance renewal — every asset compliance event surfaced before it lapses.

  • Gate Passes (RGP / NRGP)

    Returnable and non-returnable gate passes for assets leaving premises — captured at the gate, approved at HQ, reconciled on return.

  • QR + RFID Tagging

    Print and apply asset tags during onboarding. Scan with the mobile app for instant identification, audit and movement tracking.

  • MIS & Reports

    Depreciation reports, maintenance cost per asset class, audit gaps, ageing buckets — every report finance, ops and audit teams ask for.

Why teams pick Asset Management

Why operations-heavy organisations pick this over financial asset platforms.

Three patterns repeat across every customer that adopts SortString Asset Management — usually after a stores audit or an unaccounted-for asset exposes the operational gap.

  • 01

    vs Financial asset platforms

    Built for tracking securities portfolios — not BMC tanks, refrigerated trucks or college lab equipment. SortString is built for physical assets across distributed operations.

  • 02

    vs ERP asset modules

    Heavy customisation, slow change requests, no field workflow. SortString is mobile-first at the field and pluggable into your existing ERP via drag-and-drop.

  • 03

    vs Excel + paper handovers

    Survives 50 assets. Cracks at 500. SortString formalises every event with OTP-verified handovers and audit trail.

Integrations

Pluggable into any host ERP.

Drag-and-drop modules integrate into any host ERP — SAP, Tally, AccountBook or a custom platform. Asset Management speaks Tally Prime XML and SAP B1 / HANA natively, and exposes REST APIs for the rest.

  • Tally Prime (XML)
  • SAP Business One / HANA
  • AccountBook (depreciation posting)
  • Custom ERPs (REST API)
  • QR / RFID hardware
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Bank insurance + warranty portals
  • IoT sensors (calibration)

How Asset Management is priced

Per-organisation AMC, not per-asset.

A one-time deployment fee. A fixed monthly AMC. Adding 10,000 more assets next financial year does not change your bill.

  • A one-time deployment fee — declared up front, in writing.
  • A fixed monthly AMC. Per-asset and per-user charges do not exist in our model.
  • Live in 4 to 8 weeks for a single-organisation rollout — with a named delivery owner.
  • QR / RFID hardware costed separately at supplier list price (no markup).

Common questions

Questions buyers actually ask.

The answers below are the same ones we give on the call.

What does SortString Asset Management track?

Physical assets — BMC tanks, refrigerated vehicles, plant equipment, college lab equipment, AV, IT assets, library books, hostel furniture, distribution network vehicles. It is not built for securities portfolios. The operational sweet spot is operations-heavy organisations with significant physical asset bases across distributed locations.

What are the 5 pillars?

Asset Registry (purchase, depreciation, warranty, insurance, calibration), Allocations (to agents, MCCs, VLCs, plants, stores), Maintenance (preventive + breakdown with MTBF / MTTR / TCO KPIs), Audit (mobile-first physical audits with QR scanning), and Handover (OTP-verified, fraud-proof transfers between any two holders).

Does it work with QR codes and RFID?

Yes. Asset tags are printed and applied during onboarding. The mobile app scans QR codes for instant identification, allocation, audit and movement tracking. RFID is supported where hardware is available. Sunmi handheld terminals are commonly used for high-volume audits.

How does OTP-verified handover work?

When asset custody changes hands, the receiving party enters a one-time password sent to their registered mobile number, captures their identity and signs digitally. Every handover is logged with date, time, location, GPS coordinates and both parties' identities — fraud-proof by default.

Is it a stand-alone product or a module inside SalesPort?

Both. Asset Management is a pluggable module that drops into any host ERP via drag-and-drop, with native Tally Prime XML and SAP B1 / HANA integration. It is also bundled into larger SortString deployments — dairies, distribution networks and educational institutions that already run SalesPort, ProcuPort or IMROS.
