What are assets?
Assets can be anything your team needs to track and maintain like machinery, vehicles, safety gear, facilities, or even tools used in day-to-day operations. The Assets feature in SafetyCulture helps you manage these items in one place, where you can organize them by type and site, capture key data through inspections or integrations, and connect them to actions and maintenance workflows. With bulk asset management, offline access, location tracking, and usage monitoring, you gain full visibility and control across your operations. From scanning assets in the field to automating maintenance based on readings, the feature is built to support consistent, reliable asset management at scale.
