# In-Store Asset Management

Assets are items, such as refrigerators or freezers, that you place at a customer location (retail store) to increase your sales. As an asset’s owner, you’re responsible for the maintenance, repair, or any other services required for the asset. Managing assets efficiently can help reduce customer complaints and, in turn, increase your brand value. By actively tracking your assets’ conditions, you can budget better, reduce losses, and ensure employee safety.

An asset template defines the generic characteristics of an asset, and an asset type defines the details of an asset. For example, create an asset template such as Refrigerators, and then create asset types such as Brand A and Brand B.
