Instead of Assetic

Stop renting Assetic. Own your infrastructure asset register.

We build your version around your asset classes and your asset management plan, bring your Assetic register across, and run it for you. One setup fee, then a retainer, however many kilometres of pipe you add.

Assetic publishes no price: you ask Brightly for a quote. One Queensland council's published contract register lists its Assetic contract at A$2,075,848.37 excluding GST, from December 2018 to June 2026.

What the contract is for

A seven-figure contract for a register you already keep

Assetic has no public price list. The bill depends on the modules you take, the size of your network and what the vendor quotes. The records underneath are the ones every asset owner keeps for its valuer and its long-term plan.

request_quote

A quote, not a price

There is no price list to compare. You find out what it costs after the sales process, and again at renewal.

account_balance

Seven figures over a contract

One council's own published contract register puts its Assetic contract at A$2,075,848.37 excluding GST over seven and a half years. The line names hosting, a sandbox and the cloud service.

extension

Modules on top of the register

Assetic is quoted to each buyer, and software directories describe the price as set by the modules you take and the size of your asset portfolio. The register, condition modelling, maintenance and forecasting sit inside that quote.

engineering

Set up before it forecasts

Classes, components, unit rates and treatment rules have to be configured before the first forecast runs. That work is part of the cost, before any answer comes out.

dashboard

Screens over ordinary records

Assets, measures, unit rates, useful lives, condition scores and works. The dashboards show what the vendor chose to chart, not the question your councillors asked this month.

table_view

Year end still ends in spreadsheets

When the revaluation schedule, the ratios or the committee report do not come out in your layout, someone rebuilds them by hand from an export.

Your register, owned

One set of records for the engineers, finance and the long-term plan

Register

Every asset, valued the same way every time

Classes with their useful lives and cycles, every asset with its measure, unit rate, install date and criticality, and every valuation you have recorded.

  • check Replacement cost, depreciation and carrying amount for any class, today.
  • check Life left from the latest condition grade, or from age where there is no grade.
  • check Assets missing a unit rate or install date listed, so the gaps are known before the valuer asks.
  • check A revaluation recorded with the index on unit rates and the before and after.

Condition

Inspections and defects that keep up

Condition grades 1 to 5 against each asset, inspection cycles by class, and defects with the response time your levels of service promise.

  • check Inspections overdue, critical assets first, grouped by area for one trip.
  • check Assets wearing out faster than their age says they should.
  • check Defects past their response time, extreme and high risk first.
  • check A work instruction for each open defect, ready to hand to a crew.

Forecast

The 30-year renewal forecast and the gap

Each asset renews when its condition reaches your intervention grade, then the cycle repeats, so the long-term plan starts from the register, not a spreadsheet.

  • check Renewal cost for each of the next 30 financial years, by class.
  • check Forecast renewals against the renewal budget, with the running gap.
  • check Critical assets below satisfactory with no works planned.
  • check Deferred renewals, and how far the asset has fallen since.

Reporting

The benchmarks you report against, checked

The ratios councils in New Zealand and New South Wales publish, worked out from actual spend for past years and the budget for the years ahead, each with its source.

  • check The New Zealand essential services benchmark, capital spend on network services against their depreciation.
  • check The NSW renewals, backlog and maintenance ratios against their benchmarks.
  • check Revaluation cycles by class, with the classes overdue.
  • check The report on infrastructure assets, class summaries and a committee report drafted from the same records.

Ten questions the asset system dashboard does not answer

Each one runs against the demo council today. Your version answers them from your own register, and the next question is one sentence away.

chat_bubble Which assets need renewing in the next 10 years, and what does each year cost?
chat_bubble How big is the gap between forecast renewals and the renewal budget, decade by decade?
chat_bubble Which critical assets are below satisfactory with no renewal planned?
chat_bubble What share of each class's replacement cost sits in each condition grade?
chat_bubble Which assets are wearing out faster than their age says they should?
chat_bubble Are we renewing as fast as each class depreciates?
chat_bubble Which classes are due for revaluation, and what would a 5% rise in unit rates add to depreciation?
chat_bubble Which inspections are overdue, critical assets first?
chat_bubble Which area carries the most backlog for the value of assets it holds?
chat_bubble Which renewals were deferred, and how has each asset's condition moved since it was first graded?

Switching

How to switch from Assetic

The move is a staged export, field mapping, import check and short period running both registers before you retire Assetic.

  1. 1

    Export your asset records

    Use Assetic’s full asset CSV export, taking one asset category at a time if that suits your register. Include the records you want to move, such as asset IDs, classes, measures, unit rates or replacement costs, useful lives, install dates and the latest condition score. If you cannot find the export option for your account, check with Assetic.

  2. 2

    Test and load the register

    Load your asset classes first, then run a test import before loading the records for real. The test gives you a chance to review how the exported columns match the new register. Resolve any fields that need mapping, then load the assets. The standard import brings across the asset details and latest condition score listed above.

  3. 3

    Review what the import flags

    Check the import’s findings before relying on the new register. Review any fields that need mapping and anything identified as not carried across. Assetic columns are matched by name, while other fields need to be mapped. Confirm that the records you expect are present, and account separately for open defects and this year’s works, which are added once during setup.

  4. 4

    Run both registers side by side

    Keep Assetic available while you use the new register for a short period. Check the records and answers you rely on against Assetic, and note any mismatches or missing information. Resolve those issues before making the new register your working source. This gives you a chance to confirm the migration against your own records before you stop using Assetic.

  5. 5

    Switch off Assetic

    Once you have checked the migrated records and are comfortable using the new register, move your team’s work across and switch off Assetic. Keep any records or exports you need for your own reference. Make sure your team knows where to find the current register and how to record updates in the new system.

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding which history to bring. The standard import includes the latest condition score, while open defects and this year’s works are added once during setup. Enterprise DNA handles this mapping and setup work when you have them install and run it.

Questions

Instead of Assetic, answered

We rely on Assetic's maps and its forecasting tool. What happens to those? expand_more

The free version has no map and one forecasting rule per class: renew when condition reaches your intervention grade. Your GIS can read the same database directly, so the map you already have keeps working. If you want a map inside the system, or several treatments per asset with budget scenarios, that is part of the version we build.

Can we bring our Assetic register across? expand_more

Yes. Assetic can export full asset records to a spreadsheet, one asset category at a time. Asset IDs, classes, measures, unit rates or replacement costs, useful lives, install dates and the latest condition score come across, matched to your classes. Open defects and this year's works are added once, and we do that for you when we set it up.

Will the numbers stand up for our valuer and auditor? expand_more

Depreciation is straight line on replacement cost over useful life, and the method is written down where your valuer and auditor can read it. Every valuation is recorded with the valuer, the date and the change in unit rates, and the revaluation schedule lists every asset with its measure, rate, dates and condition. Your valuer still sets the rates and lives. The register keeps them in one place, ready for the next valuation.

Is the compliance checking accounting or legal advice? expand_more

No. It checks your records against the rules you already report under and names the source of each: the essential services benchmark in New Zealand's prudence regulations, the 30-year infrastructure strategy in the Local Government Act, the NSW ratios in the Code of Accounting Practice, the revaluation standards, and your own asset management plan. Your finance and asset leads still decide. They get a clean list to decide from.

What does Enterprise DNA charge? expand_more

A setup fee, then a monthly retainer, agreed on the call. It does not rise as your network grows or another team starts using it. Bring your Assetic quote or invoice and we will compare it with what your version would take to build and run.

Bring your Assetic contract and last year's valuation

Spend 30 minutes with Sam. We look at what Assetic costs you, the asset classes you manage, and what your long-term plan and auditor need from the register each year. Then we scope the version Enterprise DNA builds and runs for you.
