A simple Excel list might be a start (of course, there are applications out there that have all kinds of bells / whistles)
Here's how I would set it up...
# | Equipment Type | Equipment Name | Serial # | Bought | Signed out to...
The first step of course is to get a listing of everything... from there, you can add columns of stuff like...
Maintenance agreement (y/n)
Scheduled replacement date
Location (instead of "signed out to")
good luck...

I wish I knew what "machines" are.
Are they tools, small machines, etc?
There are all kinds of software for just about any business. This would have to be researched within the type of business.
If one cannot be adapted to your needs, then it has to be revised. That can be expensive.
An alternative is a simple spread sheet. If you know Excel, it can be done on that.
An initial inventory may have to be done during non-working hours.
I am very familiar with inventory control, so if you'd like to contact me with more details I'd be glad to try and offer a solution.

You could use a product called Altiris - does inventory of PC's and also deployment solutions.
