What It Is

equipme is an enterprise resource management platform. It is positioned not merely as an IT asset register, but as a full-lifecycle resource system covering management, procurement, and operations. It centralizes resources such as laptops, software licenses, office supplies, access permissions, and supplier contracts in one platform, giving IT, operations, finance, and management teams a unified view.

Core Capabilities

Functionally, equipme covers asset management, onboarding and offboarding automation, a self-service Marketplace, a workflow engine, approval processes, warehouse management, a ticketing system, supplier management, and Controlling. Employees can request resources through a self-service portal; the system can trigger multi-level approvals based on cost, category, or department, while retaining an audit trail. The procurement process can be tracked from request and approval through ordering and delivery confirmation, after which delivered resources are added to asset inventory. For multi-location organizations such as retail chains and corporate groups, it emphasizes visibility into resources, costs, and compliance across stores, subsidiaries, and regions.

Integrations, Security, and Deployment

The platform can connect with HR systems, MDM, ticketing tools, Active Directory, and Azure AD, and offers a REST API for custom integrations. On the supplier side, Partner Connect routes orders and tracks delivery. In terms of security and compliance, the main site explicitly states GDPR compliance, data hosting in Germany, and support for audit trails and compliance. The deployment model does not explicitly mention self-hosting; given the statement that data is hosted in Germany, it appears to lean more toward a cloud SaaS model.

Pricing and Trial

equipme offers three plans: Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Billing is based on a monthly base fee plus per-user charges, scaling with company size. No specific prices are published on the public pages. The website offers Free trial, Start for free, and Demo booking options in multiple places, but does not specify the trial duration, feature limitations, or payment requirements.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are its comprehensive modules, especially its ability to bring assets, procurement, approvals, inventory, suppliers, and costs into a single workflow. This makes it suitable for reducing shadow IT, duplicate purchasing, and manual spreadsheet-based management. Its role-based permissions, audit trails, and multi-entity cost allocation also make it a good fit for retail chains, manufacturers, consulting firms, and corporate groups. The downsides are opaque pricing, an undisclosed supplier ecosystem, and a lack of clear information on China localization, Chinese-language support, payment methods, or access performance.

Access from China and Alternatives

The main site does not provide information on network access from China, mainland China nodes, or local payment options, so china_access can only be marked as unknown. If Chinese enterprises require localized deployment, Chinese-language service, or integration with domestic ecosystems, they may also evaluate ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Freshservice, ManageEngine AssetExplorer, Snipe-IT, as well as domestic ITSM/asset management or low-code workflow platforms.
