What is Asset Panda?

Asset Panda is an enterprise asset management platform built to track assets across multiple verticals. It serves organizations managing construction equipment, facilities, healthcare devices, oil and gas operations, and IT assets in one system. It's flexible.

Which tool is right for your team?

Reftab is built specifically for IT. That focus shows in the product — every feature, integration, and workflow is designed around how IT teams actually work: managing hardware, tracking software spend, and keeping systems current without extra overhead.

If your primary need is maintenance management or tracking non-IT assets like vehicles or facilities equipment, Asset Panda may be worth evaluating. Asset Panda's broad scope means IT-specific capabilities are one part of a much larger, more generalist platform, and you may be paying for features you don't need.

Shadow IT: catching what your IdP misses

See what you're paying for, who's using it, and when it renews. Reftab tracks SaaS subscriptions and installed applications so you're not surprised by auto-renewals or paying for seats nobody uses.

Asset budget visibility in one dashboard

Track what IT actually costs to run. Hardware purchases, software subscriptions, maintenance contracts, all in one place. Not buried across procurement systems and finance spreadsheets.

Set up in hours, not weeks

Connect Intune, Jamf, or Kandji. Add your team through SCIM. You're tracking assets the same day.

Cloud-based without the deployment cycle

No servers to configure. No IT resources spent maintaining the platform. Reftab is fully hosted and handles updates automatically so you can focus on managing assets instead of infrastructure.
