Can you say what database you're using? If I were to guess this is an application specific UI over something like Neo4J although it's not very specific and seems quite general.

I think the hard part of asset management is getting the existing data into the tool, and then keeping it accurate. What are your plans to address this?

The problem is the support matrix which is crazy in this area. I think ServiceNow did pretty well without having too many adapters (of course now they have quite a few - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-it-operations-man...). So if the product is easy to use, reasonably priced, and has the ability to schedule data imports, why not?

Thanks for your valuable feedback! Yes, you're right. But for now I choose to make the product exceptionally easy and flexible (even with manual data entry). Automation can be added later, after concept is validated.

Thanks for your interest in Relinx!
Relinx is and will be free for personal use. "Corporate" features like Workspaces, Sharing, Permissions, etc will be added soon and based on a monthly subscription about 5$ per user/per month
If you’re thinking manual data entry will be the primary use case for an asset control /CMDB, you will lose badly in the marketplace.
