Depending on what your exact needs are,but Snipe-IT is surprisingly decent for a Home Asset Management System, even though it is mainly geared towards IT stuff.
Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.
So does homebox and basically ever OSS software mentioned here. BTW: Got some source for that?
I use homebox for the assets and a wiki for the procedures. Works well enough. I do wish that rooms could be treated as assets though to help me record things like paint used etc.
As I look into the various recommendations I’m leaning towards something like this. The asset management tools look great for, well, managing assets, but I think a wiki will still be more suited to the level of documentation I want to keep.
While it's a ressource hog look into xwiki. It is well suited for what you want to do and afaik there I came around a basic asset management plugin once.

Otherwise known as the Diddy. Gotta keep the Astroglide in stock.
I'd look into Lubelogger for vehicles, paperless-ngx for general paperwork, and grocy for everything else.
Is GLPI + OCS Inventory still around?
Money Manager Ex can track currency and assets in one convenient location, and it even has an Android app
