Assets Hive is a powerful, secure, and user-friendly Fixed
Asset Management System built on CodeIgniter 4 and Bootstrap
5.

It simplifies asset lifecycle tracking by centralizing everything — from purchase,
assignment, disposal, reporting, to user management — in one intuitive
platform.

Smart Dashboard

• Quick insights into Total, Active, and Disposed Assets.
• Category-wise breakdowns of asset counts and purchase costs.
• Recently added assets table for fast access.

Asset Lifecycle Management

• Register assets with details: tag number, serial, model, manufacturer, purchase info, warranty, funding source, supplier, site, location, and department.
•  Assign assets to employees or departments.
• Track updates seamlessly across the entire lifecycle.

File & Image Management

• Upload and store asset-related documents, invoices, and warranties.
• Add multiple images per asset with a default image option.

Disposal Management

• Record disposal details: date, method (Sale, Donation, Scrap, Trade-In, Other), disposal cost, book value, and notes.
•  Automatically mark assets as disposed while retaining full history.

User Profile Management

• Each user has a personal profile page.
• Users can update fullname, email (username), password, and profile image.
• Default avatar (avatar.png) is shown if no image is uploaded.
• Password changes are optional (unchanged if left blank).
• Old profile images are automatically replaced when a new one is uploaded.

Advanced Reporting

• View category-wise purchase summaries.
• Reports for employee- and department-wise allocations.
•  Export instantly to Excel, CSV, PDF, or Print.
