AssetHub – Laravel Asset Management System with QR Code Depreciation

AssetHub is a production-ready asset management system built with the modern Laravel 11 + Vue 3 + Inertia.js stack. It helps organizations of any size track the full lifecycle of any company asset — laptops, vehicles, machinery, office equipment, tools, furniture — from procurement to disposal, with features that competing scripts simply don’t include.
Why AssetHub stands out
Unlike basic inventory scripts, AssetHub ships with financial-grade depreciation, browser-based QR code scanning, HMAC-signed webhooks, drag-and-drop custom fields, and 10 built-in languages (English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese). It’s the result of months of work to deliver a tool you’d actually use day-to-day, not just a database CRUD wrapped in Bootstrap.
Runs on the cheapest shared hosting — tested on Hostinger Single ($2.99/month). No SSH, no cron, no Redis required. Upload via FTP, run the web installer, you’re live. If needed, we also offer installation support on your Hostinger for free.
Killer Features
QR Code Scanning (No App Required)
Every asset gets an auto-generated QR code on creation. Scan with any modern browser camera — no native app needed. Print labels in batch (A4, 2 per row) directly from the asset list.
Depreciation Engine
Calculate book value over time using 3 methods: straight-line, declining balance, units of production. Charts visualize the depreciation curve. Asset values auto-update monthly. Export schedules to Excel for accounting.
Webhooks with HMAC Signing
Notify external services (Slack, Zapier, your own systems) on 15 event types. HMAC-SHA256 signature verification, auto-retry 3 times, auto-disable after 10 failures, full delivery log.
Drag-and-Drop Custom Fields
Add unlimited custom attributes — text, number, date, select, textarea, file, checkbox. Apply to all categories or specific ones. Reorder by dragging.
Approval Workflows
Employees request, managers approve, system fulfills. Email notifications at every step. Full audit trail.
Booking System for Shared Assets
Cameras, projectors, vehicles — book by date range, conflict detection prevents double-booking, calendar view shows everything at a glance, overdue alerts.
6 Reports with Charts + Export
Asset Summary, Depreciation, Transactions, Maintenance Cost, Warranty Expiry, Department Assets. ApexCharts visualizations + Excel/PDF export.
10 Languages Built-in
Ships ready-to-use in English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese. Per-user language preference, live switch from the header, no page reload. RTL-aware layout for Arabic.
Runs on $2.99 Shared Hosting
Tested end-to-end on Hostinger Single — the cheapest tier. No SSH, no cron job, no Redis, no queue worker required. Upload via FTP, run the web installer in your browser, you’re live. Scheduled tasks run via HTTP-triggered scheduler, queues use the database driver.
