IT inventory
IT inventory management software for distributed hardware
AssetHound is IT inventory management software for teams that keep laptops, tablets, phones and hotspots moving between a central hub and remote sites. Stock counts come from physical verification scans, par levels are calculated per site, and every issue, return and repair stays on the device record.
Hardware stock control
Counts from physical scans
Cycle counts, audits and receiving are all scan events. Stock on hand reflects what someone confirmed in the rack, not what an import file claimed last quarter.
Par levels per device type
Laptops, tablets, phones and hotspots each carry a hub floor plus the headcount requirement and spare allotment for every operation, so reorder points are calculated.
Issue, ship and return
Requests draw from verified stock, packing is scan-verified, and returns are received back with condition triage before the unit re-enters available inventory.
Lifecycle and refresh
Warranty, repair and age data drive refresh planning, so aging hardware is replaced on a schedule instead of after it fails in the field.
Controlled imports
Vendor and MDM files stage before they commit, with duplicate detection, validation and a reversible reconciliation journal for every change.
Stock reporting
Shortage, surplus and coverage reporting is filterable by operation and device type, with CSV export for finance and operations reviews.
From receiving to redeployment
- 1. Receive and verify — inbound hardware is scanned into the hub and triaged working or broken before it counts as stock.
- 2. Hold to par — hub and site par levels expose shortages and surplus per device type as headcount changes.
- 3. Issue against requests — approved equipment requests are fulfilled from verified stock with scan-verified packing.
- 4. Recover and refresh — returns, repairs and offboarding recoveries feed lifecycle age and the refresh plan.
Common questions
What does IT inventory management software need to do?
It has to answer three questions at any moment: what hardware exists, where it physically is, and how much of it is actually available to issue. AssetHound answers all three from scan events rather than from a spreadsheet export.
How are stock counts kept accurate?
A device counts as available stock only when it has been scanned present at a stocking location, is unassigned and confirmed working. Imported records stay unverified until someone physically scans them.
Can we set minimum stock levels per site?
Yes. Par levels combine a minimum hub floor per device type with each site's headcount-driven requirement and a spare allotment, so shortages and surplus are calculated instead of estimated.
Does it cover the full hardware lifecycle?
Receiving, imaging, issue, transfer, repair, warranty, return and retirement are all recorded against the asset, so lifecycle age and refresh planning use real movement history.
