Starting your strategic asset management journey

Asprey encourages more Strategic Asset Management via inbuilt NPV Lite function

Asprey, the UK’s leading provider of strategic and operational asset management solutions, has announced the launch of NPV Lite, a new feature within its market-leading Asprey Assets platform. Designed to support housing providers at the beginning of their strategic asset management journey, NPV Lite is being rolled out free of charge to all existing Asprey Assets users.

With a well-established track record in delivering asset management consultancy and advanced investment analysis through its AspireBI tool, Asprey has worked extensively with clients seeking to better understand the long-term financial and social performance of their housing assets. This experience has highlighted a widespread need across the sector, with many organisations still in the early stages of implementing structured strategic asset management practices.

Bridging the Gap Between Operational Data and Strategic Insight NPV Lite has been rolled out to help bridge that gap. It offers a simple and accessible way to assess asset-level net earnings using the concept of net present value (NPV). Leveraging forecast maintenance data already held within Asprey Assets, the tool allows users to input additional income and operational costs, apply key financial parameters, and instantly produce informative, yet basic-level NPV calculations.

While NPV Lite does not offer the rigour or depth of modelling and multi-scenario planning available from the AspireBI product, its purpose is clear: to promote early understanding, highlight financial performance disparities, and spark more informed discussions around asset intervention and investment decisions.

Encouraging Awareness and Engagement By equipping all users with greater visibility of net earnings, NPV Lite helps identify underperforming assets and builds a case for improvement. In doing so, it not only raises awareness of asset-level value but encourages a culture of data-driven decision-making across housing organisations.

For those ready to take their analysis further, AspireBI remains the next step – offering detailed portfolio valuation, rationalisation and option appraisal capabilities utilising, inter alia, market values, book values, and other financial, strategic and social metrics.

An essential for the Sector The release of NPV Lite marks another milestone in Asprey’s commitment to supporting the digital and strategic transformation of its customers within the UK housing sector. It’s a tool designed not just for financial teams, but for engaging wider operational stakeholders in meaningful conversations about value, sustainability, and long-term planning.

Organisations interested in understanding how NPV Lite (and Asprey’s broader strategic asset management offerings) can benefit their portfolio, are invited to arrange a no-obligation consultation session with the Asprey team.
