NIPAP might be way more than you need for IP address tracking. It's meant for big ISPs that have multiple people doing stuff simultaneously with their 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12 space, and handles multiple VRFs.
Also stuff like creating "pools" for new assignments that can be run through an automation system, eg: "We need a /25 sized pool for the dhcpd serving this segment of GPON customers".
