Abstract
A system and method for managing asset information includes a web server and a database in network communication with the Internet. The system captures and stores asset information, and permits consumers to access the asset information remotely over a secure Internet connection. The system permits users to customize the web site interface such that each user can view a customized web page. The system captures and stores transactional information from the point of sale, and permits users to manage their own asset information. The system can generate electronic product registrations, organize assets for insurance purposes, maintain and display user manuals and product information specific to the asset information, and permit the transfer of asset information to other users. Finally, the system provides a gift-registry system for users to create and provide limited access to a “wish list.”
