Asset Panda’s mobile app fully supports offline work, allowing field teams to conduct inventory audits and perform check-in, check-out, or transfer forms without connectivity. Users download the necessary data before going offline, then scan barcodes, update records, and submit forms locally on their device. All offline activity is stored securely and automatically syncs to the central system once the device regains connectivity, ensuring accurate asset tracking in remote or low-signal environments.

Yes. Asset Panda can support regulatory compliance by requiring safety inspection forms and using asset status controls. You can create a Safety Inspection form with required fields and signatures, and an automation can update the asset’s Status to “Available” only if the inspection passes. Checkout or usage forms can then be restricted to appear only when the asset is in an approved status. All inspections and updates are logged in the immutable Activity Stream and Form Submission History, providing verifiable documentation for compliance audits.

Yes. Asset Panda’s REST API can integrate with GIS platforms by pushing asset data—including GPS coordinates collected through mobile forms—into your mapping system. While Asset Panda does not provide native GIS visualization, the API enables you to synchronize location, status, and asset attributes with tools like ArcGIS, QGIS, or other mapping platforms. This allows mining, utilities, and field-operations teams to track and visualize geographically dispersed asset portfolios.

Asset Panda supports replacement planning by allowing you to track repair and maintenance costs over the life of each asset. You can create a Repairs or Work Order collection with fields for labor, parts, and total cost, and link each record back to the asset. Saved Views and reports can then summarize an asset’s cumulative repair cost alongside its original cost or current book value (if depreciation is enabled), giving you clear financial insight into when replacement becomes more cost-effective than further repair.

Yes. Asset Panda can support mandatory pre-shift safety checks by using custom inspection forms, automations, and asset status controls. You can require operators to complete a Pre-Shift Safety Check form—optionally including signature capture—and configure an automation to update the asset’s Status based on the inspection results. Checkout or “In Use” forms can then be restricted to appear only when the asset is in an approved status. If the safety check fails, the asset’s Status can automatically be set to “Out of Service,” preventing use until maintenance is completed. All inspections and updates are logged in the Activity Stream for compliance purposes.
