EXPLORE INVENTORY 2.0
MODERN ITAM
(IT ASSET MANAGEMENT) SOFTWARE
TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR ASSETS
Manage your software installations, computers and all IT assets from one point. Supervise the state of your assets on an ongoing basis with the descriptive statuses assigned to them.
OPTIMIZE THE EXPENDITURE ON HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Did you know that a business effectively uses only 35% of the licenses owned? Identify what the real software usage is within your organization with the modern Software Asset Management solution. With the new Inventory, you will optimize and plan your IT expenditure more easily.
INCREASE YOUR SECURITY AND AVOID FINES
In 40% of enterprises and institutions, at least one illegal license has been disclosed. Frequently, users install such programs unknowingly, and the related fines may be very high. Get rid of all unauthorized licenses from your employees’ computers!
CONTROL LICENSES BY YOURSELF (SOFTWARE ASSET MANAGEMENT)
Have a full view of the on-premise software licenses and the cloud services. Review the used software in the most convenient manner for you - with reference to a user or from a given computer.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AUDIT – COMPLY WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
According to the NIF (National Interoperability Framework), units that perform public tasks are required to update the “inventory of hardware and software used to process information”. Axence nVision® is meticulously adapted to meet these requirements, so that you can make sure that you comply with the laws and standards such as ISO. At the same time, archiving ensures that you also have access to historical data and may compare audits.
What’s new
IT ASSETS FROM THE USER PERSPECTIVE
Assets instead of fixed assets
Fixed assets have been replaced with assets which can be linked with a user, documents, operations and devices in Inventory 2.0. Now, in the blink of an eye, you can check all the assets of a specific user or the list of users assigned to a specific resource.
Old Inventory
Device AssetNew Inventory
Statuses and folders
Build a clear structure of assets by gathering them in different folders by types and by assigning any statuses (“new”, “in use”, “being repaired”, etc.) to them.
Hardware handover reports
Easily generate handover reports for computers, monitors and other assets to be returned by users to the IT department.
History of assets
Get access to a complete list of operations performed on any hardware since its purchase.
Documents instead of attachments
Attachments have changed into documents and have become completely independent objects that can be linked to any number of resources without concern that they will disappear along with the component being deleted. What’s more, you can assign one document to multiple assets at the same time.

Invoice AssetNew Inventory
Invoice Resources
One invoice to multiple assets
Assign the invoice to all the products listed in it in one go - without having to repeat the same steps many times.

Enhanced licenses and new Applications
Inventory 2.0 introduces the new license accounting models to facilitate the handling of specific cases. We have also developed the Applications object by means of which the information about installations, users and licenses linked to a given program can be found in one place.
