Use Cases

• Tracking laptop assignments across a remote or hybrid workforce
• Managing SaaS license counts to avoid over- or under-provisioning

• Status tracking manages the full asset lifecycle: from procurement to decommission
• Archive preserves decommissioned asset records for financial and audit purposes
• Works for hardware assets (laptops, servers, phones) and software licenses equally

Benefits

• Audit Readiness — compliance status tracking supports security and ISO audits
• Cost Control — full asset inventory prevents over-purchasing duplicate or unused assets

2. Assign the Asset — tag the employee or department receiving the asset
3. Set Vendor and Status — record the supplier and set status to "In Use" or "Available"
4. Flag Compliance — mark each asset as Compliant or Non-Compliant based on security policies
5. Track Assigned Assets — use Assigned To view to see each employee's technology footprint
6. Manage Renewals — use Vendor view to prepare for license renewals and contract negotiations
7. Monitor Compliance — review Compliance Status view before audits and security reviews
8. Decommission Assets — update status to "Retired" and archive with full history when disposing
