Asset management software for Tanzania
One cloud asset register for organisations across Tanzania: port and logistics firms in Dar es Salaam, safari operators in Arusha, mining in Mwanza, ministries in Dodoma and hotels on Zanzibar. Values in shillings, billing in US dollars, free to start.
One register from Dar es Salaam to the Lake Zone
Tanzanian organisations rarely sit in one city. A logistics firm has a yard by the Dar es Salaam port and depots inland; a tour operator keeps vehicles in Arusha and camps in the parks; a mining contractor runs plant near Mwanza and Geita. Asetavo models each region, site and room as a location in one workspace, so head office can see every asset without waiting for a spreadsheet from each region.
TRA wear-and-tear classes and your book figures
For tax, the Income Tax Act, 2004 groups depreciable assets into classes, each with its own allowance, administered by the Tanzania Revenue Authority. Those figures usually differ from the depreciation in financial statements prepared under IFRS or, for public bodies, IPSAS.
Asetavo keeps a book depreciation profile and a separate tax profile on every asset, so the register can show both the accounting net book value and the tax position your accountant tracks, without a second spreadsheet.
This is general context, not tax advice. Classes and rates are set in the Act and its schedules and can change with each Finance Act; confirm with your accountant or TRA.
Every region and site in one register
- Filter the register by region, site, room or custodian.
- Each asset shows its tag, status, location and last scan.
- Export the register to Excel or CSV for head office or auditors.

Arusha: safari operators, lodges and NGOs
Arusha is the base for safari companies and many NGOs working in northern Tanzania. Their most valuable assets move: Land Cruisers, camping and kitchen equipment, radios and solar kits. Check equipment out to a guide or camp manager before each trip and back in with its condition. On the Business plan, hardware GPS trackers give vehicles a live position, trail and exit alerts.
Mwanza: mining, fisheries and heavy equipment
Around Mwanza and Geita, mining contractors and fish processors rely on pumps, generators, compressors and cold-chain equipment that must be serviced on time. Fit on-metal RFID tags or metal barcode plates that survive the site, and keep service schedules and work orders on the same asset record (maintenance is on the Business plan).
Dodoma: ministries, agencies and public registers
With government now centred in Dodoma, ministries and agencies maintain asset registers for audit by the Controller and Auditor General. Public bodies report on an IPSAS basis, which needs a register that records location, condition and value and is verified physically. Asetavo keeps each verification as a stock-take session with its variances. It does not claim compliance with any public-sector standard.
Zanzibar: hotels, resorts and FF&E
Resorts on Unguja and Pemba replace furniture, fittings and kitchen equipment quickly in salt air. Record furniture, fixtures and equipment by villa, room and outlet, count them between seasons, and depreciate them in the register rather than in a separate workbook.
Shillings in the register, Swahili on the shop floor
Record values in Tanzanian shillings as your workspace currency; Asetavo bills in US dollars. Staff often call the register rejista ya mali and a stock-take kuhesabu mali; the interface is in English, and scanning a QR label needs no reading at all. Scan with the phone camera in any mobile browser today; the native apps with offline working are coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
