A money field is only useful if it’s in your money. Recording a purchase price, a value or a hire rate is pointless if the figure appears with the wrong symbol, because every glance then requires a mental conversion and every report risks being misread. It’s a small thing, but small frictions around money are exactly the kind that erode trust in a system’s numbers.
Asset Giant lets you set your currency once for your company, and from then on every price displays correctly throughout — on asset records, in the financial details, and in anything you export. The figures simply read the way you expect, wherever they appear.
Set once, applied everywhere
The point of a single, company-wide setting is that you never have to think about it again:
- Choose your currency for the whole company in one place.
- Consistent display across asset records, the financials section and your exported reports.
- No fiddly per-item settings — there’s nothing to set on each asset, because the choice applies everywhere automatically.
Right for your region
Whether your business prices in pounds, euros, dollars or another currency, your figures always present naturally. That matters most at the moments money figures are read by other people — an exported schedule for an insurer, a value report for your accountant, a quote referencing equipment costs. In each case the numbers arrive in the expected currency, with no caveats and no risk of misinterpretation.
It takes moments to set:
- Open your company preferences.
- Set your currency.
- Carry on as normal — every price across the system now reads in that currency.
Best Practice: Set your currency before you start entering purchase prices in earnest, so every financial figure is consistent from the very first record and there’s nothing to revisit later.
