> 500%
possible ROI
Based on saved admin time alone — avoided downtime, search time and follow-up costs aren't even included yet.
5 areas
in one central platform
Inventory, inspections & maintenance, contracts, vehicles, keys and properties — all in one place.
* Example calculation across inventory, inspection, contract, vehicle, key and property management: 600 assets, 10 vehicles, 100 keys, 50 contracts and 10 properties. 12.8 hrs of prior admin work per week in total, 40–55% assumed time saving depending on the area, and 50 CHF/hr labor cost. Actual savings depend on the company, processes and usage.

Frequently asked questions
What is digital asset and inventory management?
A central piece of software where assets, locations, responsibilities and inspection or maintenance due dates are captured — instead of spread across spreadsheets, folders and individual employees' memory.
What kinds of assets can be managed with Kernas?
Essentially any kind of asset: equipment, machinery, tools, vehicles, keys and other assets — with freely definable asset types and custom fields as needed.
Can Kernas replace existing spreadsheets?
Yes. AI import automatically recognizes columns in an existing Excel, CSV or PDF list and suggests the right mapping, so the digital inventory is built in minutes.
Can assets be labeled with QR codes?
Yes. QR labels can be printed from freely designed templates, individually or for many assets at once, and scanned directly on site with a smartphone camera.
Can inspection and maintenance intervals be stored?
Yes. A pre-installed catalog of statutory inspections and recurring maintenance is available from day one and can be extended with your own obligations on a custom interval.
Is Kernas suitable for small businesses too?
Yes. Kernas is modular — a business activates only the modules it actually needs and can add more anytime as its needs grow.
Can I manage multiple customers or organizations with Kernas?
Yes. The Organizations module lets you represent customers, suppliers and other business partners centrally — ideal for service providers who look after several customers with their own locations, assets and inspection obligations.
Can I try a paid plan without any commitment?
Yes. The 14-day trial of a paid plan only requires an email address, no credit card and no contract. Alternatively, Kernas Free is a free-forever way to get started — see below.
Is Kernas Free really free?
Yes. Kernas Free can be used for free forever, as long as you stay within the Free limits.
Does Kernas Free ever expire?
No. Free has no expiration date.
Do I need to add a credit card for Kernas Free?
No.
What's the difference between Kernas Free and the 14-day trial?
Kernas Free is a free-forever plan with defined limits. The 14-day trial instead lets you try a paid plan with higher limits, with no obligation.
Can I start with Kernas Free and try a paid plan later?
Yes. You can upgrade or try a bigger plan at any time later on.
What happens after the 14-day trial of a paid plan?
You can subscribe to the plan you tried. Otherwise, you can keep using Kernas Free.
Will my data be deleted if I switch to Kernas Free?
No. Switching to Free never deletes your data automatically. If your usage is above the Free limits, you'll need to reduce it or choose a paid plan.
What counts toward Kernas Free's 50 objects?
The object limit covers assets/equipment, vehicles and keys in particular. Locations, people, contracts, properties and organizations each have their own separate limit.
Is there support on Kernas Free?
Self-service help and documentation are available. Personal support isn't included on Free.
Can I upgrade from Kernas Free at any time?
Yes, at any time.
