Inventory and assets

Software inventory and a hardware asset register

Know every computer you own, what is on it and who has it. Smantix keeps an up-to-date list of your devices and software, plus a register for monitors, phones and other kit, so audits, refreshes and license reviews start from facts instead of a spreadsheet.

    What you get

    Know the machine, the kit and the software on it

    Answer the questions that land on IT every week: what do we have, where is it, who has it, and what is running on it.

    Every machine, described

    See the specification of each device, ready for a hardware refresh or a support call. Manufacturer, model, chassis, processor, memory, system disk, BIOS date and operating system build come from the agent.

    Asset register

    One register for computers, servers and everything else: monitors, docks, phones, tablets and printers. Record who has each item, where it is, and when its warranty or lease ends.

    Physical, virtual and shared machines

    Laptops, desktops, servers, virtual machines and shared remote desktops are told apart automatically, so counts and costs are not mixed up. Smantix separates workstations, servers, physical devices, virtual machines, AVD and Remote Desktop hosts.

    Every installed application

    See which version of which app is on each device, and who published it. Windows is covered, and Macs are in early access.

    Things worth checking, flagged

    Devices that have gone quiet, warranties or leases ending soon, and machines outside your hardware standard are flagged for someone to check. A flag is a prompt to check, not proof of loss.

    Find and export anything

    Filter by model, software, version, status or health, then export the list for an audit, a refresh or a license review.

    How to see what software is installed on all your computers

    1. Deploy the agent on the devices you want covered, using the deployment tool you already use.
    2. Each device reports hardware, operating system and installed software as soon as the agent starts.
    3. Search by model, operating system, installed application, version and reporting health. Open a title to see the publisher, version, source and when it was observed.
    4. Devices report again once a day. A device that stops reporting is flagged instead of disappearing.
    5. Export a filtered view for an audit, a hardware refresh or a license review.

    Questions

    Questions about inventory and assets

    How do I find out what software is installed on all our computers?

    Install the Smantix agent on each device. It reports installed applications, publishers and versions as soon as it starts and then once a day, so the inventory stays current without a manual audit.

    Does the inventory include hardware details?

    Yes. Manufacturer, model, processor, memory, system disk and operating system for each reporting device, plus the BIOS date on Windows. The asset register also holds status, custodian, site and the purchase, warranty and lease facts you supply.

    Can we track kit without an agent?

    Yes. Monitors, docks, phones, tablets, printers and other peripherals can be typed or imported by CSV and kept in the same register as agent devices.

    Which devices are supported?

    Windows workstations, servers and virtual desktops. The macOS agent is in early access.

    Connect inventory to usage and renewals

    The same records tell you which software is used, which seats to cut and what renews next.
