Before getting into what is new, it is worth acknowledging what has not changed.
AssetPool has been used by organizations across more than 70 countries since 2018 to complete millions of inspections, manage hundreds of thousands of assets, and support field teams operating every day. That track record reflects something real: the core functionality works, and it works at scale.
Nova keeps all of it. The inspection workflows, asset management, maintenance scheduling, compliance tracking, and field service capabilities that existing users depend on are all present in NOVA.
The most significant change in Nova is not a feature — it is the platform itself. Rebuilding on a modern technology stack means faster performance, stronger security, and a much shorter path from customer feedback to new capability. Features that previously took months to develop and test can now move significantly faster.
For users, this means a platform that keeps pace with how your organization grows rather than one you eventually outgrow.
Nova introduces self-onboarding and a freemium trial, which means any organization can now explore the platform, configure their workflows, and experience the value of AssetPool's asset management software without waiting for a sales process or a formal implementation engagement.
Inspections that stand on their own
In AssetPool Classic, inspections were tied to work orders. That structure made sense for many workflows but created friction for others.
Nova introduces standalone inspections — the ability to complete an inspection without requiring an associated job or work order. For teams that carry out routine checks, site walkthroughs, or ad hoc assessments, this creates significantly more flexibility without changing how job-based workflows operate for everyone else.
From issue identified to issue resolved
A gap that existed in Classic — and that we heard about consistently from customers — was what happened after a problem was found during an inspection.
The typical answer was: an email, a note in a spreadsheet, a phone call, and then a separate process to track whether the issue was actually addressed.
Nova closes this loop with Rectification Workflows. When a technician identifies an issue during an inspection, that issue can be converted directly into a tracked corrective action within the platform. No handoff outside the system. No manual follow-up. A clear, auditable record from identification to resolution.
For organizations running digital process automation across their operations, this is one of the most impactful changes in Nova.
Better support for how field teams actually work
Most field service software is built around a single technician per job. Real field operations rarely work that way.
Nova introduces support for multiple technicians per job, alongside an improved scheduling view that gives managers better visibility into workforce availability and workload distribution. Combined with a more capable mobile experience for both office and field staff, this brings Nova's field service management capabilities closer to how teams actually operate
AI tools focused on saving time
Nova includes two AI-powered capabilities, and both are grounded in a specific problem rather than a broad promise.
The AI Checklist Builder reduces the time it takes to create inspection forms. Instead of building templates field by field from scratch, organizations can generate a structured checklist as a starting point and refine from there. For teams managing multiple asset types or compliance requirements, the time saving compounds quickly.
AI Bespoke PDF Reporting allows users to generate reports tailored to specific customer or operational requirements, without the manual formatting work that typically goes into producing polished documentation.
Both tools are about reducing time spent on setup and administration so teams can spend more time acting on the information they collect.
The transition to Nova is designed to be smooth and managed. Your data and your existing workflows are not being left behind — migration support is part of the process, and we will be working directly with customers to make the move as straightforward as possible. More detail on the transition timeline will be shared directly with existing customers ahead of the Nova launch.
