MeltX FAM is fixed asset management software for asset-heavy Indian organisations. It keeps a controlled register from procurement and tagging through maintenance, verification, and disposal. Assets can be identified with barcode, QR, or RFID tags; Android field teams can verify them, capture geo-tagged photographs, work offline, and synchronize later. The system calculates depreciation under Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 and maintains a separate block-of-assets working under the Income Tax Act 1961. Maintenance functions include preventive schedules, work orders, breakdown and repair records, and warranty or maintenance-contract expiry alerts. Transfers, reassignments, impairments, and disposals can use role-based approvals, with field-level history retained. FAM exchanges asset masters, capitalization entries, and depreciation postings with finance systems, with integration scope confirmed during discovery. It shares asset records with MeltX ITAM, ITSM, Property Management, and Fleet Management. Deployment options are on-premise, State Data Centre, or India-hosted cloud. MeltX describes encryption, multifactor authentication, role permissions, immutable audit trails, and certifications including ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Platforms are Android and web; pricing is available on request.
