Shelf Asset Management (Shelf.nu) Pricing Overview

Shelf is simple and is a great fit for the current state of technology. Our needs are based around employee computers and equipment. Many asset systems do a whole log of things that I don't need. When was the last time I needed to know the number of cylinders on a users hard drive. I don't. If we need details we can dive into Intune to pull them. Shelf focuses on the key elements... who has what, how much its worth, where it is, and how do you track it. It just works... it works on the computer and on our phones. Aside from the core settings, you have custom tags available to you.

The software really has no problems I have seen. Moving on to the team... there is support on discord and the team at the company. They were fantastic on helping us figure out how to leverage the tags, categories, etc to fit our needs before we purchased. I needed some data not exposed in the UI recently, it took about 1 business day to get a custom export. Questions are often answered quicker - but I can't think of any longer. For what it's worth, they all have been just nice people, who really like the users and want the product to be selected.

We are in the midrange... maybe 1,500 devices we track... and its been fine. We also have SSO integration with Azure AD working just fine. One other nice thing is the QR code asset tags... if you scan them and are not logged in it brings you to a "Did you find this device, let me help you contact the owner", which is just a damn nice to have feature.

Because shelf focuses on simplicity, you may find yourself rethinking your process to fit into the tag / category / booking. The team was instrumental in helping us work through that.

My only other complaint is the lack of API's to retrieve or work with data. 99% of groups would not need this though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This app does a great job of the often complex task of asset management, no matter what your assets are (we're a video production company with in-house kit and various physical resources). The UI is modern and clear, and the features are just what we needed; add in a bunch of assets and their metadata, create kits, then be able to book them out across multiple users. We've not implemented QR codes yet, but we'll be rolling our own stickers for this very soon. The ability to simply use the phone in your pocket instead of some expensive scanner handset is great.

Being open-source, the ability to fork your own version and build out your own features on top of the great work the Shelf team have done so far is super useful if you can't wait for features your organisation needs to be implemented (obviously you'll need dev experience for this, it's not straightforward if you're not a developer).

Honestly not that much to say here. The first thing we needed to implement in our self-hosted version was for kits to have a "kit value" based on the value of all the assets added to the kit. Felt like an obvious requirement, but it was easy for us to implement ourselves with a bit of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
