Track company hardware, software licenses, assignments, and maintenance schedules in an IT asset register.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Define your asset categories
Common IT asset categories: laptops, desktops, monitors, phones, servers, network equipment, and software licenses. Each category may need different fields.
- 2
Describe the app to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build an IT asset tracker with hardware (name, category, serial number, model, purchase date, warranty expiry, assigned employee, location), software licenses (software name, vendor, seats purchased, seats used, renewal date), and a dashboard showing assets with expiring warranties or unassigned equipment."
- 3
Audit and enter your assets
Walk through the office and catalog every piece of hardware. For software, pull your license records. The initial audit takes time but makes future management much easier.
- 4
Assign assets to employees
Link each asset to the employee using it. When someone joins or leaves, update the assignment. This prevents equipment from going missing at offboarding.
- 5
Track warranty and license expiries
The expiry dashboard surfaces hardware warranties ending in the next 6 months and software licenses renewing soon. This prevents unexpected support gaps.
- 6
Log maintenance and incidents
When an asset is repaired or replaced, log the event with date, cost, and resolution. This history informs future purchasing decisions.
