Verified manufacturer data, built into every record.
Built-in Product Data is the data layer beneath Beam, powered by Beam Insights. Add a piece of equipment and Beam matches it to the manufacturer's product, fills in specifications, manuals, photos, warranty terms and lifecycle status, and keeps them current. Your own pricing, accessories, substitutes and bundles sit on top.

The record fills itself in.
When you add equipment, Beam matches it to a verified manufacturer product and fills in the record: specifications, manuals, photos, warranty terms and lifecycle status. You don't maintain any of it by hand.
Beam monitors manufacturer sources around the clock, so firmware and software updates, end-of-life announcements and revised specifications reach your assets as they are published.
On top of that sits your catalog: your own prices and rental rates, the accessories each product needs, the products that can stand in for it, and bundles of kit that always go out together.
Matched on entry
Each item is matched to a verified product, with a validated model number.
Kept current
Updates and end-of-life announcements arrive as manufacturers publish them.
Verified twice
Every entry passes double human verification before it reaches a record.
Built in
Part of every asset record, with nothing to connect or maintain.
Matched to a verified product as you add it
Type a model, import a spreadsheet or scan an invoice. Beam matches each line to the manufacturer's product, corrects the model number and adds the product name, description and category.
