Pilot / Early Access Asset by MetraSlate. How Evaluation Works
Agnostic by Design.
Ready to Adapt to Your Industry.
Configure Asset around your terminology, the records you manage and the way your business works. Connect operations, people and audit trails in one platform. Bring customer work, purchasing, people and invoicing into the same business context.
A Shared Foundation, in Your Terms
Your Items. Your Vocabulary. Your Business.
Configure the names your team uses during setup. Asset by MetraSlate connects the records and general business operations your organization relies on. Standard builds on that foundation with industry-specific workflows.

The Asset foundation with calibration, CMC and scope, uncertainty, review and certificates.
The Next Standard
Build the industry's specialized workflows with the people who know the work.
- Start With the Common Work
- Identify each item, understand its history, organize the people responsible and connect the customer, supplier and financial records around it. These needs cross industry boundaries.
- Configure the Language
- Use setup to match the names your organization gives its items, materials and business records. Bring examples of the terms your team uses so the demonstration reflects your working vocabulary.
- Add Industry Depth With Standard
- Standard develops the Asset foundation with specialized workflows, processes and records. Standard by MetraSlate: Metrology Edition applies that depth to calibration and laboratory operations; Asset keeps the agnostic record and general business scope.
A Record and Business Foundation Across Industries
Different Industries. Familiar Operational Needs.
Start with what you need to track and the history you need to keep. These examples share needs for item identity, supporting records, purchasing, people and customer work. Specialized industry execution and regulatory processes belong in the scope discussion for a Standard edition.
- Manufacturing
- Machining · Metal Fabrication · Electronics Manufacturing · Automotive Manufacturing
Keep gauges, tools and production equipment identifiable, with service records and responsible teams. Connect supplier purchases, stock and customer work to the operation that uses them. - Aerospace & Defense
- Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing · Aircraft Maintenance · Equipment Suppliers
Organize tools, test equipment and supporting documents across teams and sites. Keep item identity, service history and responsibility connected with suppliers, purchasing and customer work. - Energy & Utilities
- Electric Utilities · Water and Wastewater · Oil and Gas · Renewable Energy
Connect operational records to locations, people, suppliers and business transactions. Keep equipment and material history in the context of the teams responsible. - Healthcare
- Healthcare Facilities · Medical Devices · Pharmaceuticals · Laboratories
Keep instruments and facility equipment identifiable, with recorded service dates, supporting documents and responsible teams. Connect supplier, purchasing and personnel records to the equipment your organization uses. - Construction
- Commercial Construction · Civil Engineering · HVAC Service · Electrical Contracting
Keep tools, survey instruments and test equipment recognizable across teams and locations. Connect customer work, equipment needs, purchasing and invoices without losing the individual item’s history. - Logistics
- Transport · Fleet Maintenance · Warehousing · Distribution
Organize workshop tools, inspection equipment and site assets with their recorded condition and service history. Bring suppliers, parts, personnel and customer accounts into the wider business view.
Equipment: One Application of Asset
Identity, Location and History Together.
Start with the item your team recognizes. Keep the information needed to identify it, understand its recorded context and decide what needs attention.
- Equipment Identity
- Asset number, manufacturer, model and serial number distinguish the individual item. Check those identifiers when adding equipment or updating a record.
- Location and Responsibility
- Keep the recorded location and responsible organizational context with the equipment so people know where to start when arranging its next use or service.
- Service and Supporting Records
- Bring recorded service dates, results and supporting documents into the equipment history. Use recorded due dates to identify equipment needing attention.
- Changes Over Time
- Review recorded activity alongside service history. A changed field, a service event and a physical handoff answer different questions, so establish which records your team needs to maintain.
The Business Around Your Items
Connect Your Records to the Wider Operation.
Full Asset includes the AssetLight foundation and general business operations. Connect the items you track with the customer, supplier, purchasing, personnel and financial records that keep your organization running.
Customers and Work
Keep the customer relationship, equipment involved and approved work in view when following an enquiry through your operation.
Purchasing and Stock
Keep supplier relationships, purchases and inventory in the same business scope as the equipment and supplies your team uses.
People and Invoicing
Connect personnel and responsibility with the work, invoices and accounts receivable around your operation.
Ownership and Service Relationships
Your Inventory.
Your Service Choices.
Standalone Asset is your organization’s item, material and business account. A service provider’s customer portal represents your relationship with that provider.
You choose which equipment to request service for. That relationship does not automatically share your whole inventory. Confirm the supported exchange, records and permissions with the chosen provider during your pilot.
Understand the Lab Customer PortalEmployee Issue and Return · Confirm in Pilot
Make Each Handoff Clear.
For teams issuing equipment to employees, the useful record identifies the recipient, the issue and the return. Discuss the required evidence, including any barcode identification or before-and-after photos, as part of your Asset pilot.
Confirm that the handoff records and permissions meet your needs before relying on this workflow. A recorded location or status change alone does not establish an employee issue or return.
Discuss Issue and ReturnAn Example of the Shared Business Foundation
See Equipment in Its Business Context.
This Standard by MetraSlate: Metrology Edition demonstration uses sample data. The customer account illustrates the shared connection between equipment, locations and customer work; your Asset demonstration uses the configuration selected for your organization.
Connect the Equipment and the Account.
See the customer’s sites, equipment due for service and active work together. The account provides a business context for the individual equipment records your team manages.
Bring a representative equipment list and one customer or supplier workflow to your demonstration. Use them to explore the relationship between your equipment book and your business.
Choose by the Work You Need to Manage
Asset, AssetLight or Standard?
Asset combines agnostic item and material records with general business operations across industries. AssetLight focuses on equipment management. Standard develops the same foundation around an industry’s workflows, with Standard by MetraSlate: Metrology Edition serving the calibration business.
