One asset, one passport, one continuous history
Buildings, machines and vehicles outlive their owners, but their history rarely survives a sale. Why physical assets need a record that follows them.
A building can stand for a century. An air-conditioning unit runs for fifteen years, a truck for a dozen owners. Over that time, dozens of people service, repair and improve the asset. Almost none of that history survives a change of hands.
Where the history goes
It sits in paper folders, in email threads, in a technician’s phone and in the memory of the previous owner. When the asset is sold, the new owner inherits the object but not its story: which parts were replaced, which warranty still applies, who knows this machine best.
A passport for the asset
The idea behind Troolink is simple: the history should belong to the asset, not to whoever happens to own it. Every asset gets a passport, and the people who work on it add records of what they did.
A few rules make that work in practice:
- History starts when the asset joins. The first record is a dated description of its current state. Nothing is backdated from old documents.
- The owner controls access. A service provider sees the part of the history the owner grants, never private invoices or personal data.
- Coverage follows the asset. A warranty that belongs to the equipment stays with it when it is sold, without resetting or extending its term.
Who it is for
Owners and buyers who want to know what they have, service businesses who want their work to count, and organizations that manage many assets at once.
Troolink is in development and running in a private preview. If you work with property, equipment or fleets and want to bring it to your market, we would like to talk.
