The 8 AssetSonar Alternatives

#1 Workwize

 

 

Workwize is a zero-touch platform designed to manage the entire lifecycle of IT assets, from procurement to disposal. Unlike other platforms on the list, Workwize is a singular platform for managing your IT hardware, right from when you acquire it to when it’s time to get rid of it.

Traditional asset management comes in only when your assets are deployed and already in use. That’s not the case with Workwize. Use our platform to order highly customized assets deployed with your choice of software, then manage them all like a pro. Once employees leave or assets reach the end of their useful lives, leave retrievals and disposals to us.

No multiple software or vendors to complicate IT asset management.

Workwize is designed for global teams of 200-5000 FTEs. That means you control IT equipment no matter where it’s located. We offer consistently great support and a self-service portal for employees to report any issues with assets.

Workwize key features:

IT Equipment Management:

  • Track comprehensive asset details, including current user, value, depreciation status, and whether an asset is new or refurbished, with real-time visibility into them

  • Provide employees with a self-service portal to request items, repairs, and maintenance, supported by a chatbot for quick help.

  • Seamlessly integrate with your HR or directory system to streamline employee transitions.

  • Automatically lock accounts upon employee departure, coordinate equipment retrieval, and securely erase device data.

Other features:

IT Asset Procurement:

  • Purchase or lease a wide range of hardware from global suppliers directly through the Workwize platform, with the flexibility to partner with your local suppliers if preferred

  • Receive IT equipment and accessories worldwide within 5-7 business days at your remote workers' homes, your headquarters, remote offices, or one of our global warehouses.

  • Choose branded starter kits or welcome packages with your company logo, or allow employees to select their own IT equipment, furniture, or company swag.

  • Track and manage assets with detailed location updates via a track-and-trace link, ensuring complete visibility.

  • Customize hardware by selecting CTO models with extra storage or RAM, or opt for local keyboard layouts when placing orders

IT Equipment Deployment:

Once you decide which assets to order, deploy them with the exact configuration settings you need. This way, you ensure work-ready equipment reaches your employees with the required permissions, settings, and user accounts already set up. You can also maintain a centralized overview of equipment assignments. If faults or damages happen, ordering new replacements is easy. 

Zero-touch IT Equipment Retrieval

Make it easy to get your assets back—Workwize handles all communication, logistics, and packaging to ensure you get assets back safely from anywhere in the world. You can also initiate retrievals with a single click when employees depart, or assets end their lifecycle.

IT Equipment Disposal

Workwize ensures environmentally responsible disposal or donation of end-of-life assets in compliance with local regulations. To be fully compliant, obtain a certificate of data destruction.

Why pick over AssetSonar?

  • Workwize is more than an asset tracking platform—use it to procure, manage, deploy, retrieve, and dispose of your assets. Comprehensive asset management is just one of our features.

  • Eliminate the need for multiple vendors and software solutions to manage various aspects of your IT assets. It's a single platform for procuring, deploying, managing, retrieving, and disposing of assets tailored for teams with IT assets distributed worldwide.
