Tagging Assets - Asset Management Software
Posted by Galaxydragonx0@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 11 comments
First off sorry for the ignorance, I'm very new to the space but
I would like to know if there is any Asset Management Software that allows you to generate a tag based on the information of the asset ? My company doesn't have the best asset management, so I would like to get started with gathering info on assets and tagging them.
If these do exist please guide me to them, any help is appreciated, much thanks.

We are moving away from Reftab and moving to Snipe-IT right now. I like Snipe-IT over Reftab for everything but label generation. Snipe-IT is very clunky with labels if you want customization, but everything else it does is stellar. The ability to link logs to MS Teams is a nice touch.

Hey! We’re sorry to hear you are moving away from Reftab. I just sent you a DM. We’re always looking for ways to improve the platform, honest feedback from you could help us do that.

Yeah Shelf.nu hosted or cloud - would do this for you.

I’m using GLPI (free to self host). I can install the agent in all the endpoints and it will inventory them and update my asset information automatically.
I can export the asset info and run a mail merge with my brother label printer to generate asset labels with QR codes if I need to print a lot of labels at once.
GLPI does a lot more than just asset inventory.

I think I will have to look at free solution to show them how it can help make the IT process better and maybe go into a paid suite after it has proved itself. Budget is a major concern over here. I think Snipe-IT wins it for me. Thank you all for the suggestions it was very much appreciated

Setyl offers durable asset labels pre-printed with unique QR codes - once scanned, you get access to the asset profile with all the information in the Setyl platform (note: I work for the company).
If you add a little more info, such as your company size, what's not working about your process right now, and any more requirements for a software platform, we can probably help further with suitable recommendations.

I think EZO AssetSonar would be a good fit for you.

EZO Asset Management is great for this. The tags are custom and you can add as much information as you want. They also have many options for the creation of tags and printing including commercial printing

EZO Asset Management is great for this. It lets you log asset details and automatically generate tags or barcodes based on that info. Super handy if you're trying to clean up the process and build a system from the ground up.

The vast majority of IT asset management tools out there have tagging capabilities (my own included, Starhive).
But you need to decide things like whether you want barcodes or QR codes? Barcodes require more equipment, QR codes mean more app usage so you need to assess how good the asset management software's app is.
Also the printing can be a faff so check what label printers are supported.
