IT Asset Management Software (ITAM)
IT Asset Management Software
Hector is an IT asset management (ITAM) platform that brings the tracking of your computers, software licenses, peripherals and accessories together in one place, from purchase to end of life.
The benefits for your organization
Three reasons IT teams rely on Hector to manage their fleet.
Full visibility
over your fleet
Automated tracking cuts losses and the time spent chasing equipment.
Your employees handle check-ins and check-outs themselves, and you never lose track.
Every detail,
anytime
Your data syncs live, so you can reach your assets on mobile or desktop. Know how many laptops are available, which are under repair, who they are loaned to, and when to replace them.
Track equipment lifecycle end to end
Follow each asset’s depreciation with ease. Hector alerts you when a license nears expiry or maintenance is due. If something breaks, the employee can flag its status.
What is IT asset management?
IT asset management, or ITAM, covers the practices used to catalog, track and manage an organization’s technology assets: laptops, desktops, servers and network equipment.
It governs each hardware asset across its full lifecycle, from purchase and deployment through to retirement. By documenting devices such as routers, workstations and mobile devices in detail, IT teams can assess the health of their fleet, optimize its performance and streamline operations across the whole infrastructure.
Track exactly the assets you need
Unlike software that forces predefined categories, Hector lets you create the asset types you actually want to track.
Beyond hardware, follow loans, losses, breakage, depreciation and maintenance needs. Track software licenses, warranties and serial numbers too. You only track the assets that matter to your organization.
Whether you manage 50 workstations or 5,000, Hector scales to the size of your fleet and your internal processes.

From import to decision, in 4 steps
01
Import or create your assets
Model, tracking number, purchase year, price, depreciation, photo, QR or barcode. Bulk import from an existing file.
02
Assign to your employees
Add your team with custom permissions. You always know who holds which device, and for how long.
03
Track, scan, maintain
Scan an asset in 2 minutes from the mobile app. Get notified before every license, maintenance or inspection deadline.
04
Analyze and decide
Generate detailed reports in one click. Know when to buy new equipment and renew licenses at the right time.
Why a spreadsheet stops working
Managing your IT fleet in Excel can look like a simple, low-cost solution. In reality, it costs you time and money.
| Criteria | Hector | Excel spreadsheet |
|---|---|---|
| Data updates | Automatic via barcode, QR or RFID scan | Manual, one row at a time |
| Error risk | Minimized by a central database | High (copy-paste, duplicates) |
| Real-time mobile access | Synced iOS and Android app | None or complex |
| License and maintenance alerts | Automatic notifications | Track it yourself |
| Depreciation tracking | Calculated automatically | Formulas to maintain by hand |
| Traceability (who has what) | Full history per asset | Approximate |
Why keep a hardware inventory?
A complete, up-to-date IT inventory is essential to make the most of your resources and cut operating costs. By tracking every device, license and warranty, IT teams keep asset management clear and efficient.
For example, real-time data enables proactive management of software updates, reducing vulnerabilities and preventing security breaches. Knowing the exact location and status of each device, IT admins can automate patch management, license renewals and warranty tracking, giving a centralized view of the infrastructure that adapts to the organization’s needs.

Your questions, answered
What is IT asset management software?
IT asset management software (ITAM) centralizes the tracking of all of an organization’s technology assets: computers, servers, peripherals, software licenses and accessories. You know where each asset is, who uses it, its condition, its value, and its lifecycle stage, from purchase to retirement.
What is the difference between Hector and an Excel file?
Excel relies on manual entry, prone to errors and duplicates, with no mobile access or alerts. Hector automates updates via barcode, QR or RFID, calculates depreciation, sends notifications before every deadline and keeps a full history of each asset. Tracking is faster, more reliable and available in real time on mobile.
