Devices change hands constantly
Laptops and peripherals get reassigned fast. Keep a custody trail so teams always know who has what and when it changed.
UsesIT asset tracking
IT asset tracking
Track laptops, peripherals, and shared devices with custody and lifecycle history from onboarding to offboarding. Keep assignments, returns, repairs, and spares organized so audits and refresh cycles are straightforward.
Track devices end-to-end: procurement to deployment to offboarding. Keep assignments, repairs, spares, and returns organized so audits and refresh cycles stay simple.

Why inventory operations matter for IT asset tracking
IT asset tracking is custody plus lifecycle—from procurement to deployment to offboarding. Inventory operations keep assignments, returns, repairs, and spares organized with a reliable history so audits are easier and devices don’t get lost between hands or locations.
Common challenges
Most teams start here. IO helps you reduce drift, keep accuracy high, and maintain a trail you can trust.
Spares and repairs are hard to manage
If repairs and spares aren’t tracked, devices get lost between desks and vendors. Record status and location changes with context.
Audit and inventory checks take too long
Inventory checks become a manual hunt when identity and assignment history are unclear. Keep exports ready and history complete.
How IO supports this workflow
IO keeps locations, movement history, and controls connected—so teams can move faster without losing traceability.
- Assignment history by user
- Auditable lifecycle changes
What to track for IT assets
• Devices and peripherals with serials and tags • Assignment history by user and department • Status (in service, spare, repair, retired) • Location history (office, storage, vendor) • Exports for audits and refresh planning
Typical workflow
01
Register devices at receiving
Create device records once so identity and lifecycle history stays consistent.
02
Assign and transfer
Record assignments and transfers between users and offices so custody is always clear.
03
Track repairs and spares
Move devices through repair/spare statuses with location updates and notes.
04
Audit and refresh
Export assignment and status reports to simplify audits and refresh cycles.

Controls & evidence
Restrict edits to identity fields and status changes, and preserve a full audit trail for assignments and lifecycle updates.
Integrations & exports
Export device inventories and assignment histories for audits, finance, and IT operations. Integrate with ticketing or onboarding/offboarding processes to keep records aligned.
FAQ
Can we track peripherals too?
Yes—track any asset type, from laptops to monitors to shared devices.
Can we track repairs and vendor locations?
Yes—use statuses and locations to record where devices are during repair cycles.
Does this help with audits?
Yes—assignment history and exports reduce audit time and manual reconciliation.
How do we handle offboarding?
Record returns, update status/location, and keep the custody trail intact for review.
Where do teams start?
Start with laptops + core peripherals, then expand to spares, repair flow, and reporting.
