Track IT Assets the Smart Way — Meet AssetLoom

As an IT professional, you probably already know how hard it is to keep track of all the assets floating around your organization — especially when people work remotely or when the company grows rapidly. Whether it’s laptops, mobile phones, headsets, or docking stations, managing these assets can quickly get overwhelming.

That’s exactly why we created AssetLoom — a simple, cloud-based IT Asset Management (ITAM) tool designed to help you manage and track assets without all the complexity of enterprise solutions or manual tracking methods like spreadsheets.

✅ Why AssetLoom?
We understand the struggles that come with managing IT assets, particularly when devices are used by remote workers, and when you need to ensure everything’s tracked accurately, from assignment to return.

Here’s how AssetLoom can help:

Easy Asset Assignment
Assign laptops, phones, docking stations, headsets, and any other assets directly to staff members. The best part? AssetLoom allows employees to e-sign a document detailing what they've been assigned, ensuring there’s a clear record of each transaction.

Real-Time Visibility
Employees can log in and see what assets they’ve been assigned, making it easy for them to stay organized. No more “What device do I have again?” questions.

Track Assets Across Multiple Locations
With 30+ sites or remote teams spread out, tracking assets manually is a nightmare. AssetLoom gives you a centralized view of all assets in one place, no matter where they’re located.

Return and Handover Process
When an employee leaves or a device is returned, you need clear visibility. HR can quickly query the platform to check if any assets haven’t been returned. You can even set up automatic reminders to ensure things are returned on time.

Cloud-Hosted, Easy to Set Up
AssetLoom is fully cloud-based, so there's nothing to install, and it works across all devices. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to set up — no need for specialized IT knowledge. Just input your assets, assign them to users, and you’re good to go.

🔧 Features Built for IT Teams
As developers, sysadmins, or IT managers, we know you need tools that are both powerful and user-friendly. AssetLoom is designed with that balance in mind, so you get:

Parent-Child Asset Relationships — For instance, you can bundle a laptop, docking station, and headset into a single asset group, making it easier to track multiple related items.

Custom Asset Types — You can define different asset types (e.g., laptops, phones, tablets, etc.), assign them custom attributes (like serial numbers), and track them based on your specific needs.

Full Audit Trail — Every asset assignment, update, and return is logged for auditing purposes, so you’ll always have a record of what’s happened.

Easy Search & Reporting — Quickly search for any asset or employee in the system. Generate reports to track assets by location, user, or status.

Integrations — AssetLoom integrates easily with your existing systems, allowing you to streamline workflows and make the most of your current tech stack.

🧑‍💻 Who’s It For?
Small IT Teams — If you're a small team managing hundreds or thousands of assets, you need a system that’s easy to use without needing a full-time asset manager.

Remote and Hybrid Workforces — Managing assets for remote workers and distributed teams is tricky, but AssetLoom is built with this in mind. Whether your employees are at home or across multiple locations, you can easily track all assets in one place.

HR and Employee Transitions — When someone leaves the company, HR can quickly check if they’ve returned all assigned assets. You can even set up an automated workflow to charge employees for unreturned items.

Growing Teams — AssetLoom is scalable, so if your team grows and you need to track more non-IT assets (e.g., facilities equipment, etc.), you can easily expand your asset management to those categories.

🔒 Security and Privacy
Since AssetLoom is cloud-hosted, we’ve built it with security and privacy in mind. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we offer role-based access controls, so only authorized people can view or manage sensitive asset data.

🏆 Why AssetLoom Stands Out
While there are plenty of asset management tools out there, many of them are either overly complicated or too basic for the needs of an IT team. AssetLoom offers the perfect balance: it’s simple enough for small IT teams to get started quickly, but powerful enough to scale with you as your needs grow.

Here’s what we’ve found valuable in using AssetLoom:

It reduces the headache of manually tracking assets and spreadsheets.

It’s perfect for teams that don’t have dedicated asset managers but still need an organized way to keep track of everything.

It’s cloud-based and scalable, making it flexible for small teams that are growing or transitioning to hybrid work environments.

🚀 Ready to Get Started?
If you’re tired of using spreadsheets or dealing with disconnected asset management systems, it might be time to check out AssetLoom. It’s built for teams like ours — small, distributed, and tech-savvy, but still managing a large volume of assets.

Feel free to try it out and see if it’s the right fit for your team. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
