MaxAsset review
A focused desktop system for barcode tracking, depreciation, and asset lifecycle control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
MaxAsset is fixed asset management software from Heads Together Software Pty Ltd for business, corporate, and government users. It combines an asset register for assets and sub-assets with separate book and tax depreciation, additions, disposals, write-offs, partial disposals, barcode tracking, label printing, reporting, and audit trails. Its desktop design supports Windows and macOS environments, with networking for multi-user use. The product is a fit for organizations that need structured asset records and physical barcode control alongside accounting processes.
The published pricing shows a starting price of AUD 995 for the paid MaxAsset plan, presented as one-time licensing. The base plan covers the automated asset register, book and tax depreciation, asset additions and disposals, labels, and reporting. MaxAsset Manager adds maintenance management, lease management, network tracking, transfer management, and portable data collection. Separate MaxAsset Extra User and MaxAsset Site Licence options address additional user licensing and site licensing. This structure suits teams that want to add operational controls or expand access through distinct licensing choices.
MaxAsset’s strongest functional depth is its connection between physical asset tracking and financial administration. General-ledger support and journal-entry generation complement location, division, personnel, supplier, warranty, and insurance records, while audit trails and point-and-click reporting support review workflows. The integration list centers on General Ledger, so organizations that need a wider connected software ecosystem should compare alternatives. Likewise, teams looking for cloud deployment should look elsewhere, since MaxAsset is positioned as an on-premise desktop product. Choose it for barcode-led asset control, depreciation, and lifecycle administration; avoid it if broad integrations or cloud-first access are priorities.
