ActivMan vs AssetCenter

ActivMan is paid, on-premise Windows software for fixed asset management, developed by McHil software B.V. It tracks economic, commercial, fiscal, insured, and replacement values, with current, past, and forecast views. Records can include investments, disposals, costs, revaluations, additional depreciation, and forecasts. Users can link or split assets, rebook them, monitor investment plans, calculate interest, allocate costs, and record locations. Filtered reports can be printed or exported. Journal entries can be supplied in formats for general-ledger administration, with Exact listed as an accounting integration and an optional ODBC connection for compatible financial software. ActivMan supports tax depreciation and multiple entities. School inventories can be organized by branch, building, floor, section, and room, with barcode-assisted inventory. Optional security settings restrict permissions, while an optional logbook records activity and previous values. Annual-licence plans are ActivMan/lite and ActivMan; no prices are stated.

AssetCenter tracks durable assets individually, recording what a team owns, who has each item, where it is, and its lifecycle history. Records can include categories, serial numbers, status, photos, documents, and barcode or QR access. A unified timeline covers purchases, assignments, moves, condition checks, maintenance, repairs, warranties, costs, tasks, and decommissioning. It also tracks software licenses and recurring services, including vendor, plan, seats, billing frequency, contract terms, renewal date, and cost. Reports cover straight-line depreciation, asset end of life, asset events, recurring subscription costs, locations, and assignment history. Access controls include roles, permissions, category-level restrictions, and two-factor authentication. API access is included on every plan, subject to plan and rate limits. The service can be installed on a phone or tablet home screen in PWA mode. Its scope is durable items tracked one by one: it does not manage stock quantities, reordering, fulfillment, or consumable inventory bins. The Free plan allows 25 assets and has no reports; paid plans start at $39 per month.
