What Teams Say About the Template

Real feedback from small teams who started asset tracking with our free template.

Saved me a whole weekend of building something from scratch. The dropdowns and formulas were pre-configured, so I just imported my 40 laptops and was tracking same day. When we hit 75 assets we upgraded to UNIO24 — the transition felt natural.

Daniel Ortega

IT Operations Lead, Manufacturing

We're a 6-person non-profit. The template was honestly enough for our first year — we tracked AV gear, laptops, and volunteer equipment without paying a cent. Clear instructions, good examples, zero bloat.

Priya Nair

Operations Manager, Community Center

Started with the spreadsheet to convince leadership that asset tracking was worth doing. It worked — we migrated to UNIO24 after 3 months. The template got us to the proof-of-value stage without any budget approval.

Marcus Lee

Facilities Coordinator, School District

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our free asset tracking spreadsheet template

Is the asset tracking spreadsheet template really free?

Yes! Our asset tracking spreadsheet template is completely free. No hidden costs, no subscriptions. Just fill out the form and get instant access to the template.

Can I customize the template for my business?

Absolutely! The template is fully customizable. You can add or remove columns, modify formulas, change formatting, and adapt it to your specific needs.

Will I receive marketing emails after downloading?

We will send you the template link and occasionally share helpful tips about asset management. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email we send.

Can multiple people use the spreadsheet at the same time?

If you use Google Sheets, yes! Multiple users can collaborate in real-time. However, for Excel files, only one person can edit at a time unless you use Excel Online.

Is this an asset tracker template, asset management template, or asset inventory template?

All three — this one template works for every use case. Call it an asset tracker template when you focus on location and assignment, an asset management template when you track the full lifecycle (acquisition, maintenance, disposal), or an asset inventory template when you run periodic counts. The sheets are the same; the emphasis depends on which columns you rely on most.

How does this compare to ConnectCode asset tracking spreadsheet?

ConnectCode and our template both give you an Excel-based asset tracking system without software installation. The main differences: our template includes a pre-built dashboard, maintenance log, and check-out log in one file; ConnectCode focuses more on barcode printing within Excel. Our template is fully free with no feature gates; ConnectCode has paid editions for advanced features. For most small teams, either works — choose based on whether barcode printing from Excel is a must-have.

What is the difference between an asset tracker spreadsheet and this template?

An asset tracker spreadsheet, at its simplest, is a list of assets with columns for name, owner, and location. Our template is a full asset tracker spreadsheet plus a maintenance log, a check-out log, a dashboard, and pre-configured dropdowns — so you don't need to build formulas, data validation, or reports from scratch. Same core concept, much less setup time.

What format is the template in?

The template is provided as a Google Spreadsheet that you can copy to your own Google Drive. You can also download it as an Excel file (.xlsx) or use it with other spreadsheet applications.

How many assets can I track with this template?

The spreadsheet template can handle hundreds of assets. However, for larger inventories (50+ assets) or teams needing mobile access, we recommend upgrading to UNIO24 for better performance and features.

What if I need help using the template?

The template includes instructions and examples. If you need additional help, our support team is available to answer questions about using the template effectively.

What is the difference between this template and UNIO24?

The spreadsheet template is perfect for getting started with basic asset tracking. UNIO24 is a full-featured cloud platform with mobile apps, QR code scanning, automated workflows, and advanced analytics. UNIO24 is also free for up to 50 assets.

Can I use this as an Excel asset tracker or asset management spreadsheet?

Yes. The template is a native Excel (.xlsx) file and also opens in Google Sheets with full formula support. Whether you call it an Excel asset tracker, an asset management spreadsheet, or an asset inventory tracker, it works the same way — the columns and formulas are built to handle all three use cases.

Can I use this for equipment inventory tracking or construction equipment?

Yes. The template works for any asset type — IT equipment, construction equipment, vehicles, tools, medical devices, office furniture. You can also use it as a straight equipment inventory tracking spreadsheet by focusing on the Asset Register and Settings sheets. For construction crews specifically, the check-out log is useful when tools move between job sites and crew members.
