Question 1

What is Dino Assets Management?

Accepted Answer

It is asset management software for tracking IT equipment, office assets, machinery, vehicles, software licenses, consumables and any custom category, from purchase through to disposal.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Any organization that needs to know what assets it owns, who is using them and what state they are in — IT teams, corporate offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, warehouses, construction sites, retail chains, manufacturers and professional services firms.

Question 3

What kinds of assets can I track?

Accepted Answer

IT equipment, office assets, machinery, vehicles, software licenses, consumables and any custom category you define, each with its own useful life.

Question 4

Can we import our existing spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Assets can be bulk-imported from a spreadsheet, and any list can be exported to CSV.

Question 5

How does access control work?

Accepted Answer

You create custom roles from 36 granular permissions. Permissions are enforced on the server for every API request, not just hidden in the interface.

Question 6

Does it support multiple branches?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Organizations can have multiple branches, departments and locations, and assets can be transferred between them with full history.

Question 7

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product exposes a JSON REST API, documented in the API specification, which is how third-party integrations are built.

Question 8

Can I host it myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The stack is Next.js, Node.js/Express, Prisma and MySQL, and ships with Docker Compose for self-hosting. TechDino can also manage hosting for you.

Question 9

Is there a demo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Request a demo and we will reply from techdino.in, or sign in to the demo instance with the demo credentials shown on the demo page.

Question 10

How is depreciation calculated?

Accepted Answer

Straight-line depreciation from purchase cost, useful life and purchase date. The ledger and book value are shown per asset and in aggregate.

Question 11

What is the technology stack?

Accepted Answer

Next.js and React on the frontend, Node.js/Express, Prisma and MySQL on the backend, containerized with Docker for deployment.

Question 12

How is the platform secured?

Accepted Answer

Authentication uses JWT tokens and bcrypt password hashing with rate-limited login. Every API endpoint validates input with Zod, and the API applies helmet and CORS.

Question 13

Does it support QR codes for physical asset tags?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every asset gets a printable QR label you can attach to the physical item for fast lookup.

Question 14

What happens when an asset is retired?

Accepted Answer

You record a disposal type and reason. The asset record and its full history stay in the system for audit rather than being deleted.
