Next steps for IsItUp.com include introducing insurance reporting, so clients can easily tell if they are over- or under-insured

IsItUp.com, an online platform for tracking and monitoring fixed assets such as computers furniture and office equipment, today announced it has secured a six-digit figure in seed investment from 8capita and 500 Startups.

“The funding is for further enhancement of our platform, including new modules such as insurance and helpdesk, and business development,” Co-founder Andrew Diamond told e27.

Launched in November 2015, Malaysia- and Singapore-based IsItUp addresses the issue of unloved and under-managed fixed assets. The company’s cloud solution offers enterprises the ability to track and manage their assets through a web interface and iOS or Android mobile apps. This ensures maximum utilisation and better RoI for a company’s fixed assets.

In addition, the platform helps businesses keep organised, digital audit trails that can be easily stored and exported without digging through stacks of paper.

“We have found that companies, both big and small, have the same issue. Millions, if not billions of dollars, are invested in fixed assets such as computers, furniture, software, and equipment, yet these assets aren’t being tracked. Instead of being properly maintained, they could be lost in a storage cupboard somewhere. Our mission is to help companies save money by optimising asset value and providing simple, yet valuable reporting,” Diamond added.

The company will soon introduce an insurance reporting feature, so clients can easily tell if they are over or underinsured — a universal pain point for many businesses. Other upcoming features include software licence management as well as a helpdesk.
