What ActivMan is
ActivMan is Windows software for managing fixed assets, deployed on premises. It tracks economic, commercial, fiscal, insured, and replacement values, with current, past, and forecast information. Records can cover investments, disposals, costs, revaluations, additional depreciation, and forecasts. Users can link or split assets, rebook them, monitor investment plans, calculate interest, allocate costs, and record asset locations. Its report generator creates filtered reports for printing or export, while journal entries can be provided in formats for general ledger administration. An optional ODBC connection transfers entries to financial software that supports ODBC; Exact is the named accounting integration. For school inventories, objects can be organized by branch, building, floor, section, and room, with barcode-assisted inventory. The maker identifies accountants, businesses, administration offices, housing corporations, and schools as user groups. The annual-licence ActivMan/lite plan excludes revaluation, interest calculation, and currency codes; no plan price is stated.
