Asset Management

One Register for Every Asset You Own

Care18 maintains a living register of every asset the hospital owns, from imaging machines and ventilators to furniture and laptops. Purchase details, warranty dates, AMC contracts, service visits and location shifts all sit on one record your biomedical and finance teams can trust.

  • Single equipment register
  • Warranty and AMC alerts
  • Service history per machine
  • Depreciation tracked for finance

Introduction

What Is Asset Management in Care18?

Hospitals accumulate equipment faster than they track it. Beds, monitors, analysers, laptops and vehicles move between departments, go out for service and quietly pass warranty while nobody updates a sheet. Care18 gives each item a permanent record from purchase to disposal, so biomedical, stores and finance teams work from the same register instead of scattered lists, personal files and memory during audits.

  • One register from purchase to disposal
  • Warranty and AMC dates tracked per item
  • Complete service and repair history
  • Location and department transfers recorded
  • Depreciation values available to finance

Key Benefits

  • Nothing Lost Between Departments

    Each transfer, movement and reassignment is recorded, so equipment is found quickly instead of being reordered when a department asks for a replacement.

  • Lower Maintenance Costs

    Service schedules and AMC coverage are tracked in advance, preventing missed preventive maintenance and avoidable emergency repairs across critical departments.

  • Cleaner Financial Reporting

    Asset values and depreciation feed straight into finance reports, removing the need for separate spreadsheets during valuation and audit preparations each year.

  • Faster Warranty Claims

    Warranty status sits on the asset record, so replacements and repairs are claimed while coverage is still valid with the manufacturer or supplier.

Core Features

Key Features

  • Master Equipment Register

    Record every asset with code, category, make, model, cost, supplier and attached documents so nothing lives only in a spreadsheet.

  • Purchase & Commissioning

    Log purchases from indent through installation and handover, linking each item to its invoice, supplier and commissioning date for warranty tracking.

  • Warranty & AMC Management

    Track warranty expiry and annual maintenance contract coverage with reminders, so renewals and claims are handled well before coverage lapses.

  • Service & Repair History

    Log preventive maintenance, breakdowns, spare parts and engineer visits against each asset to build a full service history for every machine on site.

  • Depreciation Tracking

    Apply depreciation by asset category and record book value over time, giving finance consistent figures for valuation and reporting at year end.

  • Location & Transfer History

    Assign each asset to a department and room, recording every transfer so accountability stays clear as equipment moves between units over time.

How it works

Asset Lifecycle in Care18

From indent to disposal, every stage is recorded against the asset.

  1. 01

    Indent & Purchase

    Departments raise an indent for new equipment; once approved, purchase details and supplier information are recorded against the item.

  2. 02

    Tagging & Registration

    Each item receives a unique asset code and is registered with category, cost, documents and assigned location within the department.

  3. 03

    Warranty & AMC Setup

    Coverage dates and contract terms are captured so reminders and renewals are handled before expiry with the service partner.

  4. 04

    Service & Movement Logs

    Preventive maintenance, repairs and inter-department transfers are logged against the asset as they occur, keeping biomedical, stores and finance teams aligned on current status.

  5. 05

    Valuation & Disposal

    Book value is updated through depreciation, and retired assets are written off with a recorded reason and approval.
