Easily see which assets are assigned, to whom, and their physical location. Check them back into inventory with one click, or click through to see the asset’s complete history. Seeing what assets are currently deployed, pending (brand new awaiting software installs, out for repair), ready to deploy, or archived (lost/stolen, or broken) is quick and easy.

Managing assets with a Google doc or a shared Excel spreadsheet is more common than you think. When your company is small, it can (sort of) work for a while, but as you grow, things get messy, fast. iM-Asset lets your admins work together to track physical assets, software licenses, accessories and consumables — all in one place.

Depreciation and asset reports are easy with one-click export to CSV and custom reporting capabilities. You can even give them permission to view and download reports within iM-Assets without being able to edit assets.

iM-Asset makes asset management easy. It was built by people solving real-world IT and asset management problems, and a solid UX has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster. What’s the good of having software if it’s so hard to use, no one bothers?

There are lots of reasons why an asset may be unemployable or archived. They may be out for repair, out for diagnostics, lost or stolen, or flat-out busted. You have complete control over the labels you create for assets.

You get the same quick access with licenses, too. We’re working on making this even better, by letting you smartly handle multi-pack licenses with ease. Enable email alerts to get an email when your licenses are expiring.

Some things are important to track, but may not warrant their own asset tags and labels. Accessories let you track things like keyboards and computer mice so you know how many you have on-hand, and who has the ones that have been given out. Items like printer ink and copier paper all add up, and it’s inconvenient to run out. Track your consumables using iM-Asset, too!

Asset tags are a unique identifier for assets within your system. Each one must be unique, and is often used in conjunction with Asset Labels. They identify each unique piece of hardware so that you know which specific device it is.

For users who don’t need asset labels, the unique serial number of each device is often used as the asset tag, or you can turn on auto-incrementing asset tags, which will generate a unique asset tag for you when you create new assets

Checking in and checking out are two primary concepts within iM-Asset. When you checkout an asset, license or accessory, you’re marking them as being in the possession of someone else. This means that they cannot subsequently be checked out to another person until they are checked back in. This prevents “double-booking” assets, where one asset has been promised to or assigned to multiple people.

When an employee leaves your company, or if an asset, license or accessory is not functioning properly, you would check it back in. Checking it back in indicates that it’s back in your possession, or potentially out for repair. It’s up to you to decide what status to assign it, based on the condition of the asset.

Status labels are used to describe the state of the asset. You can add as many status labels as you’d like. Each status label will have one of four characteristics that describe the state of assets with that status label:

Status Label Type     Description

Undeployable               These assets cannot be assigned to anyone.

Deployable                   These assets can be assigned to people

Archived                        These assets cannot be assigned to people, and will only show up in

the Archived view

Pending                         These assets can not yet be assigned to anyone

Use status labels however you see fit. You can just keep the starter labels we set up for you, or you can flesh out a detailed set of statuses that will make sure your team always knows exactly what’s going on with each asset.
