Understanding Asset Sections

Updated over a month ago

Each asset in TechEdge is organised into sections to help you manage information, documents, costs, and compliance in one place.

This article explains what each section is used for and what information you can expect to see.

Overview

The Overview section contains the main details used to identify and manage the asset.

This section typically includes:

  • The asset’s status and type

  • Key identifiers, such as registration numbers or internal reference IDs

  • Location and ownership information

  • High-level financial or contractual details, depending on the asset type.

Specifications

The Specifications section displays detailed technical information about the asset.

  • This information is populated automatically from a third-party data source.

  • The fields shown depend on the asset type and registration country.

  • This section is read-only and cannot be edited manually.

Dates

The Dates section is used to manage inspections and expiry-related information, such as:

  • MOT expiry dates

  • PMI inspections

  • Other asset expiry dates

For more detailed information, see:

Documents

The Documents section is used to store files related to the asset.

You can:

  • You must select a document category.

  • The available categories depend on the asset type.

  • You can drag and drop a file or select it from your computer.

Document categories are used to organise files and make them easier to find later. Examples may include compliance, insurance, maintenance, or general records, depending on the asset.

Personnel

The Personnel section allows you to assign people to an asset.

For example:

  • Assigning an associated driver to a vehicle

Once a person is assigned:

  • The asset will also appear under that person’s record in the Personnel section

This helps keep asset and personnel information linked and consistent.

Benefit in Kind

The Benefit in Kind section is available for Cars and LCV asset types and contains fields used for reporting and tax-related purposes.

Costs

The Costs section is used to record costs related to an asset.

You can:

  • Add costs with a category and date

  • Upload supporting documents, such as invoices

Costs added here will also appear in the main Costs area of the platform.

Defect Check Documents

The Defect Check Documents section shows defect check records for vehicles.

  • These documents are added automatically when defect checks are completed using the TechEdge mobile app.

  • Documents cannot be added manually in this section.

  • If you are not using the defect check mobile application, this section will remain empty.
