This week I was getting a new employee set up with a desktop. I had to find a computer in this room:
I wanted to find a desktop that had 8GB of RAM. That would not have been too fun if i had to turn on the computers individually, or had to look up each serial number. So all I did was scanned the machines with the Reftab app until I found what I needed. Which all took under a couple minutes.
See that computer above with the red circle around it? There’s a white label with an asset number on it. I scanned that and found the following information:
I changed the information around so I could post this to our blog. But what made this so easy was that all the information was right there for me. I also needed to assign this new desktop to the new employee, all i did was edit the field “User” that you see above. Now everyone in the office knows who this computer belongs to.
There are two things that really make this incredible:
1) First, the asset number labels on each of the devices had been there from our old inventory system. I just imported that into Reftab and automatically hundreds of asset information was at my fingertips.
2) Second, my job of updating our inventory took seconds. Literately seconds to both look up and finish updating our office inventory. It is no longer a hassle now to keep inventory up-to-date!
Thanks for reading!
