The UNIO24 Discovery Agent scans your network and auto-discovers active equipment (laptops, servers, IP phones, printers, switches), alongside imports from your MDM, UEM, or RMM. Passive equipment (headphones, mics, docking stations, monitor arms, USB hubs, cables, conference-room remotes) gets tagged with QR or NFC and tracks the same way: same register, same custody chain, same audit log.\"},{\"question\":\"How does UNIO24 know where an asset physically is?\",\"answer\":\"Custody chain captures every transfer with the responsible person and timestamp. 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.
