Assetain – Transforming Care-Equipment Management
In today’s care sector, where equipment failure can directly impact patient safety and service quality, proactive asset management is non-negotiable. Enter Assetain, Medaco’s pioneering solution designed to manage the complete lifecycle of patient-handling equipment – from first supply to planned obsolescence.
Launched in August 2025, Assetain delivers three core benefits: comprehensive asset visibility, budget-wise maintenance, and strategic replacement planning. Rather than reactively repairing faulty devices, care homes, NHS Trusts, and SEND schools can now oversee the health of all moving and handling equipment with confidence and clarity.
At its heart lies a meticulously maintained, data-rich register. The programme initiates with a full audit of existing assets; each entry is ported into a dynamic system setting tailored maintenance thresholds, repair-vs-value benchmarks, and clear end-of-life triggers.
Field engineers play an essential role – capturing photographic evidence of faults and functional assessments, which are promptly linked to each record. This approach adds both accountability and immediate insight for stakeholders.
Timely alerts are a standout feature. When equipment approaches “no-longer-manufactured” status or reaches its recommended service term, Assetain sends clear notifications – empowering teams to anticipate challenges before they arise. Regular updates of the full asset register ensure stakeholders remain fully informed of the condition and availability of their entire fleet.
Assetain isn’t just maintenance – it’s strategic care-asset stewardship that saves time, reduces costs, and safeguards patient well-being. A smart, forward-thinking programme like this helps care providers shift from reactive firefighting to purposeful planning.
In short, Assetain elevates care facility operations into a new era of efficiency and confidence – where every asset is seen, scheduled, and systematically sustained.
