Overview

This free template helps you build an equipment tracker using your existing data, so you can manage assets, requests, and checkouts without relying on scattered spreadsheets or manual updates.

It includes a sample database to show how to structure equipment records, request details, checkout activity, locations, projects, and user access. You can also connect to any Softr-supported source like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, and more.

Why use this equipment tracker template

Centralize equipment visibility: Track equipment names, asset tags, categories, status, condition, location, and project assignments in one place.

Streamline requests and approvals: Let employees request equipment, add needed dates, locations, quantities, and notes, then keep managers aligned on status.
