Automate the update of your asset records throughout its life cycle and remove the effort of manually maintaining asset accuracy.

Assets need to be updated and tracked from the time they are purchased until they are disposed. The automation process starts from the time you request an asset through determining if the asset is in stock or if it needs to be purchased. If it's in stock, then the asset is transferred via the transfer order workflow. If the asset needs to be bought, then the purchase order workflow is triggered. The automated workflows take away the need to manually update each asset record or the associated configuration item (CI). Once the workflow is complete, the asset records or CIs are automatically updated.

You can create bulk stock orders for hardware assets for your stockrooms. You can specify the model and the exact quantity you require. Once the item is procured or transferred, the workflow is complete.

You can also create disposal orders for hardware and consumable assets. This workflow guides you through five asset disposal tasks. These tasks involve the planning, scheduling, verification, departure, and the final confirmation of the disposed assets. Closing a task completes the task and creates the next task in the workflow.

For example, Verify is the first task in the asset disposal workflow. Once you complete and close the Verify task, the Schedule pickup task is automatically created. This process continues till you close all the tasks required for disposing the asset. For information, see Hardware disposal order stages.
