When an asset is reassigned, moved between rooms, sent to repair, or shipped to a remote office, the location updates on the record. For active network gear, the custody chain supplements last-seen network location. The register reflects current physical state, not just acquisition history.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Lifecycle events\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"What lifecycle events does UNIO24 capture per asset?\",\"answer\":\"Acquisition (date, cost, vendor, PO), assignment, transfers, configuration changes, preventive maintenance, repairs (internal and external service centers), warranty claims, parts replacement, audits, refresh forecasts, and retirement (data wipe, disposition, recycling certificate). Every event lands on the asset record with timestamp and responsible party.\"},{\"question\":\"Can UNIO24 track maintenance and repair history per asset?\",\"answer\":\"Yes. Preventive maintenance schedules run per device class. Repair tickets capture assignee, parts replaced, downtime, and outcome. UNIO24 tracks external service-center handoffs from check-out to return with status updates. SLA timers fire on response and resolution targets per ticket category. Warranty status and expiry sit on each asset record.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Integrations and deployment\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"Does UNIO24 integrate with our MDM, UEM, or RMM?\",\"answer\":\"Yes, and the UNIO24 Discovery Agent gives you a second path: a network scan that auto-discovers active devices independent of your MDM. UNIO24 also imports the device list from your MDM or UEM via REST API. Active equipment syncs automatically with serial number, OS version, encryption status, and last-seen date. UNIO24 adds the ownership, lifecycle, and physical-location layer those tools were not built for.\"},{\"question\":\"Can we keep our existing asset tags and identifiers?\",\"answer\":\"Yes. UNIO24 reads existing barcodes (Code 128, Code 39, QR, NFC, even older Code 93). Bring in the spreadsheet from your old system; existing tags keep working, new tags get UNIO24 codes. No tear-out required, no parallel systems for six months.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Pricing and data\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"How much does UNIO24 cost?\",\"answer\":\"UNIO24 starts at 50 assets free forever, full feature access. Paid tiers scale by tracked asset count, not by user. Unlimited users on every plan.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens to our data if we leave UNIO24?\",\"answer\":\"Your data is yours. A full export (CSV or JSON) of every asset, custody record, maintenance log, audit, and disposition certificate is available on demand from the admin panel. UNIO24 retains nothing after export and account closure.\"}]}]","Plain-English answers for IT admins, finance partners, and audit coordinators evaluating UNIO24 for full-lifecycle IT asset tracking.","IT asset tracking: common questions",[31,316],{":advantages":223,":button":225,"subtitle":317,"title":318},"Start free with 50 assets.

The employee returns to the link from any device, picks up exactly where they left off, and the audit-lead dashboard reflects the partial progress in real time. If the link itself is lost, the audit lead can resend the invitation email to the employee.\"},{\"question\":\"Can the same audit cover multiple locations and asset categories at once?\",\"answer\":\"Yes. Scope is a filter: one location, several locations, one asset category, several categories, a custom-field filter, or the full inventory. Each participant gets the subset they are responsible for; the audit lead sees the consolidated picture. A single session can span all locations and all asset categories without splitting into separate audits.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Compliance and exports\",\"items\":[{\"question\":\"Does the export format work for finance and internal audit?\",\"answer\":\"The Excel and CSV exports include every scan with its timestamp, every variance with its resolution and reason.
