Excel was never built for asset management.
Data is outdated instantly
The moment someone saves the spreadsheet, it's already stale. New assets, reassignments, retired equipment, nothing updates in real time.
Version conflicts everywhere
Multiple people editing the same file leads to overwritten changes, duplicate rows, and conflicting versions. Who has the latest copy?
No audit trail
When an asset goes missing, there's no record of who had it, when it was assigned, or who signed for it. Excel doesn't track history.
Real asset management. Not another spreadsheet.
BetterDesk pulls real-time data from TOPdesk and adds the features you've been building formulas for.
Real-time asset data
Asset information syncs directly from TOPdesk. Every scan, assignment, and status change is always up to date. No manual updates.
Scan instead of type
Point your phone camera at any barcode or QR code to pull up the asset instantly. No more scrolling through thousands of rows.
Automatic document generation
Generate handover documents, receipts, and reports automatically with digital signatures. No more copy-pasting data into Word templates.
