Effective asset management begins with comprehensive tracking. NetSuite Fixed Asset Management Cloud Service allows you to monitor and manage your assets in real-time, ensuring that you always have up-to-date information on asset location, status, and value. Key benefits include:
- Real-Time Asset Tracking: Keep track of your assets as they move through different stages of their lifecycle. Whether you’re dealing with machinery, vehicles, or IT equipment, real-time tracking helps you maintain accurate records and avoid asset loss or mismanagement.

Depreciation is a critical aspect of fixed asset management, impacting both financial reporting and tax compliance. NetSuite’s depreciation management features offer the tools needed to handle this process efficiently:
- Automated Depreciation Calculations: Automatically calculate depreciation using various methods, including straight-line, declining balance, and sum-of-the-years’ digits. This automation ensures compliance to accounting standards and lowers the possibility of errors.

- Audit Trail: Maintain a clear audit trail for all depreciation calculations and adjustments, ensuring transparency and compliance with internal and external audit requirements. This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that need to demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards.
Managing the entire lifecycle of your assets—from acquisition to disposal—can be complex and time-consuming. NetSuite Fixed Asset Management Cloud Service simplifies this process, enabling you to manage every stage of the asset lifecycle efficiently:
- Asset Acquisition: Streamline the acquisition process by integrating with purchasing systems, ensuring that new assets are recorded accurately and immediately upon purchase. This integration helps prevent discrepancies between your financial records and physical inventory.
