Regatta Registers has been helping lifting companies keep their gear compliant and organised. Its cloud-based platform makes it easy to create lifting equipment registers, store inspection reports, and share certificates with clients – all in one place. Now, the team is taking that idea a step further.
A new Asset Management feature is on the way, designed to help users manage cranes, forklifts, and other assets with the same simplicity the industry has come to expect from Regatta.
“We developed the system to manage lifting equipment, but now we want to help companies manage their entire fleet,” said Marly Pena, Marketing Manager at Regatta Registers. “Whether it’s a crane, a forklift, or a truck, users will soon be able to add their assets, perform checks, and record maintenance – all within the same system.”
One platform, all assets
At its core, Regatta Registers is a web-based SaaS platform that enables lifting and inspection companies to create digital registers and inspection reports. It’s already used by All Lifting, several service providers across Australia, and even training organisations such as the Kabbalah Construction School. The upcoming asset management module builds on this foundation, adding a powerful layer of flexibility for both in-house and service-based operations.
“The system will allow users to build their own forms – things like pre-start checks or maintenance records – and then action those forms directly under each asset,” Marly said. “They’ll first add an asset, and under that, they’ll be able to attach any number of forms. It gives them full control over how they want to track, inspect, and manage.”
That means a crane hire company could add each crane as an asset, create custom inspection forms, record maintenance activity, and even set automatic reminders for the next check – whether it’s daily, monthly, or annual. Everything stays stored securely online and can be shared instantly with clients or auditors.
Bringing transparency and service together
Unlike traditional asset management systems, which are often built for internal use only, Regatta’s new module caters to service providers as well.
“One of the biggest differentiators is that we allow customers to be part of the process,” Marly said. “Let’s say a business services cranes for multiple clients – they can add their customers, their sites, and the assets at each site. Those customers can then log in, view reports, and track maintenance records in real time.”
This structure makes the platform especially useful for contractors that maintain or inspect lifting assets for others. It also adds transparency and traceability across projects – a critical advantage in a safety-driven industry. “By giving customers visibility, we make it easier for them to manage their compliance and trust the service provider’s work,” Marly said.
Currently, the Regatta team is developing and testing the module with a Melbourne-based service provider that maintains cranes across the state. “They don’t own any cranes themselves but service a number of them,” Marly said. “The system allows them to record every inspection, send reports to clients, and set reminders for the next maintenance. Their customers can then log in to view everything associated with their cranes.”
As Marly said, the idea for the new feature didn’t come from a marketing meeting – it came from the users themselves. “When we started, our customers loved the simplicity of our lifting equipment registers,” she said. “But many told us they wanted to use it for their assets too. They said, ‘I’ve got 10 cranes and I’d like to create registers for them the same way.’ That’s when we realised we needed to add assets as a base element in the system.”
From there, the development became collaborative. The team has been working closely with several partners to refine how the feature should work in the field. “It’s being built with direct input from the people who’ll actually use it,” Marly said. “That’s what makes it so practical. It’s not a new system from scratch – it’s an extra module that fits naturally into what already exists.”
Flexible plans for every business size
Regatta Registers is structured to suit both small and large operations, with three plans available – Basic, Pro, and Enterprise.
“The Basic plan is for one user, ideal for small operators with a single crane or piece of equipment,” Marly said. “The Pro plan allows up to six users, with unlimited assets and customer logins. It gives each business the flexibility they need, whether they’re managing their own gear or servicing clients.”
The platform is built to be intuitive – users can upload their logo, add customers and contacts, and start creating registers immediately. For many, setup takes less than an hour. “It’s very easy to customise,” Marly said. “You don’t need to be tech-savvy to start using it.”
Rolling out soon
The asset management module is currently in active development, with early prototypes already in testing. “We’re ironing out a few glitches before we start full-scale development,” Marly said. “We’re hoping to have it completed by early next year – around January or February.”
While the team isn’t officially launching the service yet, early adopters will soon be invited to trial the system. “We want to get people excited about what’s coming,” Marly said. “At the moment, they can use the lifting equipment registers, and by next year, they’ll be able to add and manage their assets too.”
Regatta is also considering offering early users a special introductory period – potentially including one month free. “It’s a way for us to thank those who help us test the platform and shape the experience,” Marly said.
Regatta Registers has already become a reliable tool for compliance, inspection, and reporting – and with asset management, it’s set to become a central hub for everything related to equipment tracking and maintenance.
“Ultimately, we want companies to have everything in one place,” Marly said. “Whether it’s their lifting gear, cranes, forklifts, or trucks – they’ll be able to manage it all through Regatta Registers. It’s about making their operations simpler, safer, and more efficient.”
