SoloTruth Asset Relationship Management (ARM) is the orchestration layer between your assets, your workforce, and your ERP. It schedules, delegates, escalates, and approves at scale so your asset register reflects physical reality every day, not just on audit day.
Companies with $100M in fixed assets can generally expect a less than 6-month payback on their ARM investment based on more accurate asset records across depreciation, tax, insurance, audit, and capital allocation. 1

What Is Asset Relationship Management
Every organization with significant fixed assets has the same operational problem: someone needs to know, every day, which assets are where, in what condition, and whether the ERP matches physical reality. At scale, that is a workflow problem before it is a technology problem.
An inspection app captures data. RFID tags locate assets. Your ERP records the outcome. None of those systems orchestrates what happens between capture and record. ARM does. It schedules who inspects which assets, routes exceptions to the right person, enforces approval before any ERP update, and keeps a timestamped audit trail of every decision.
Your ERP is a system of record. SoloTruth is a system of proof. ARM does not replace your ERP. It proves whether what your ERP says is true, every day, not just on audit day.
The Problem
Asset records are accurate the day they are created. After that, physical reality and the ERP record diverge. Most organizations have no systematic way to detect it, and no governed mechanism to correct it.
The Business Case
Record drift reaches every corner of the balance sheet. Finance leaders who have run a fixed asset reconciliation almost always find the exposure larger than expected.
Inaccurate fixed asset registers create material weakness risk under SOX. Auditors increasingly flag subledger accuracy as a control deficiency, and the exposure compounds when there is no audit trail for how records were corrected.
Ghost assets keep generating tax depreciation deductions for assets that no longer exist. This distorts the effective tax rate and creates reconciliation risk with tax authorities. Defensible depreciation schedules require a clean register.
Fixed assets are consistently the most problematic dataset in ERP migration post-mortems. Inaccurate records entering a migration multiply remediation cost and extend the timeline. Clean the register before the project starts.
Property tax is assessed on reported asset values. Ghost assets inflate the taxable base. Organizations that have never reconciled their register frequently discover significant overpayment when they finally do.
Capital planning made on inaccurate asset records produces systematic errors. Organizations over-invest where they think assets are depleted and under-invest where utilization is higher than the register shows.
CSRD requires asset-level data for emissions and lifecycle reporting at county-level geographic precision. Organizations without a reliable fixed asset register cannot meet that standard without a reconciliation project first.

Traditional fixed asset audits rely on expensive third-party accounting firms running annual point-in-time reviews. By the time the report is filed, the register is already drifting. ARM replaces that model entirely. It deploys the people already closest to your assets, the forklift driver, the maintenance technician, the plant floor supervisor, to verify asset condition and location continuously, as part of normal operations. ARM manages the workflow: who verifies what, when, what to do when something is wrong, who approves the fix, and when the ERP updates. No annual audit required.
ARM assigns verification tasks by asset type, location, and cadence. The right person gets the right task at the right time, no coordinator required. Verification happens as part of normal operations, not as a separate audit event.
Tasks are routed to the workforce member already closest to the asset. A forklift driver verifies warehouse equipment during their shift. A maintenance tech confirms condition during a service visit. No separate audit team. No travel. No delay.
The assigned worker captures condition, location, and documentary evidence via mobile, RFID, or GPS, directly from the field. Every submission is time-stamped and tamper-evident. The evidence is automatically compared against the ERP record, with discrepancies surfaced immediately.
Missing assets, condition changes, location mismatches, and document discrepancies are automatically escalated to the right person with a tracked resolution path. Exceptions do not sit in a spreadsheet. They move through a defined workflow until resolved.
Human sign-off is required before any discrepancy is written back to the ERP. Every approval is logged with the approver's identity, the supporting evidence, the policy applied, and the timestamp. Nothing changes without authorization, and every authorization is auditable.
Approved findings update the fixed asset register. No manual data entry. No unreviewed changes. Every ERP update is backed by a complete chain of evidence: who captured it, who approved it, under what policy, and when. When the auditor arrives, the record is already defensible.
Platform Architecture
ARM is built on Axon Ivy's Universal Orchestration architecture. Gartner rates Universal Orchestration a HIGH innovation benefit and projects 90% enterprise adoption by 2029 (G00841113, February 2026).
SoloTruth ARM extends the proven evidence capture and workflow engine already behind VirtuSpect, adding RFID and GPS location intelligence, AI-powered document processing, ERP synchronization, and the full Axon Ivy Universal Orchestration control layer to close the loop between physical reality and the financial record.
Powered by Axon Ivy Universal Orchestration. Every approval, escalation, notification, and ERP update in ARM flows through Axon Ivy's enterprise-grade orchestration engine. Policy-based. Fully auditable. Proven at enterprise scale across global manufacturing, financial services, and technology sectors.
Why SoloTruth
ARM extends the same evidence capture, workflow orchestration, and audit-ready evidence model already powering SoloTruth VirtuSpect in production at commercial banks including Celtic Bank, Bankwell, and CCBank.
The capture layer, the mobile evidence workflows, the governed review and approval engine, and the audit retention infrastructure are all proven. ARM applies that foundation to the fixed asset reconciliation problem.
When you adopt SoloTruth ARM, you are not betting on an unproven architecture. You are extending a platform that has already completed over 1,000 inspections in regulated financial environments, powered by an orchestration engine trusted by Airbus, ERGO, and Bauer.

Field teams, facilities staff, or authorized site personnel use the SoloTruth mobile app to capture geo-tagged, time-stamped evidence for each asset. Guided workflows ensure nothing is missed. RFID and GPS data layer in automatically where hardware is deployed.
Evidence is tied to the specific asset record in real time. There is no batch upload, no manual matching, and no reconciliation lag. By the time a discrepancy reaches the finance team, the physical evidence is already attached.

Get in Touch
The best next step is a demo/discovery call so we can understand your unique requirements and show you how ARM's evidence capture, reconciliation, and governed workflow model applies to your fixed asset environment.
Whether you are preparing for an ERP migration, addressing an audit finding, or simply trying to understand how bad the ghost asset problem actually is, that conversation is where we start.
Organizations that have never done a systematic fixed asset reconciliation routinely uncover ghost assets on the books. Kroll Advisory reports that 10% to 30% of assets on the average fixed asset register no longer physically exist. The financial exposure is almost always larger than expected.
