Feature Request: Interactive Floor Plan for Asset Management

[catmuf]

I would like to suggest adding an interactive floor plan / building map feature for asset management.

The goal would be to allow users to upload a floor plan for a building or floor and visually place existing assets/devices on their physical location.

Proposed functionality
Create buildings and multiple floors.
Upload a floor plan (PNG, JPG or SVG).
Place existing assets on the floor plan using drag and drop.
Store the asset's position relative to the floor plan.
Move assets without modifying the asset itself.
Click an asset on the floor plan to open its asset details.
Zoom and pan the floor plan.
Filter assets by type, status, room, etc.
Associate an asset with a room as well as its position on the floor plan.
Support multiple floor plans per building.

The floor plan should act as an additional visual view of the existing asset-management system, rather than creating a separate asset database.

For example, an IT administrator could upload the floor plan of an office and place PCs, monitors, printers, Wi-Fi access points, switches, firewalls, servers, meeting-room equipment, etc. directly where they are physically located.

Possible implementation

A simple 2D implementation could store normalized X/Y coordinates for each asset in relation to the floor plan. This would allow the asset positions to remain correct when the floor plan is resized or displayed on different screen resolutions.

For example, an asset location could conceptually contain:

asset_id
floor_plan_id
room_id
x
y
Future possibilities

This could later be extended with:

Different icons for different asset types.
Visual indicators for asset status.
QR code integration.
Clickable room areas.
IT rack layouts.
3D/BIM building models.

A basic 2D interactive floor-plan MVP would already provide significant value for IT and facilities teams managing physical assets across offices and buildings.

Examples from other competitors:
CMDBuild uses GIS/BIM module

Sysmapper

Great suggestion! I have in the past maintained separate apps for such cases, visualizing meeting rooms for example and displaying their equipment. Integrating directly into assets would be neat.

I will check whether the already included Excalidraw or SvelteFlow Canvas would be usable for this or if we need to find another solution

Thank you replying. It would be nice, if possible, to implement a map or floor plan showing where users are physically located. This could make it easier to identify users by office or room and manage the assets assigned to them.
