IT asset management

Network inventory: what you can’t see, you can’t manage.

LOGINventory automates network inventory: agentless on the local network, across multiple sites, down to laptops outside the corporate network. The inventory tool captures hardware, software, configurations, and permissions. No manual effort, no blind spots, no Excel hell.

What you get

Arguments for your CISO, results for your team.

Full visibility

No gaps. No Excel.

A daily snapshot of your infrastructure. New devices appear at the next scan. Devices that disappear stay on record as historical data.

Compliance readiness

Audit-ready, always.

ISO 27001, NIS2, BSI IT-Grundschutz: LOGINventory delivers the verifiable asset overview automatically. Change history, configuration states, permissions.

Cost control

Make licenses visible.

Unused software licenses tie up budget. Experience from consistent analysis: 20–30 % reduction in license costs.

What LOGINventory captures

Over 1,000 data points per asset. Structured, searchable, exportable.

Hardware inventory and software inventory run in the same pass. One data model for all asset data. You filter, group, and export in the format your audit, your help desk, or your accounting system needs. What a device delivers depends on its type and operating system.

Hardware

Processor, RAM, storage, network interfaces, monitors, serial numbers, warranty status. Also battery and SSD lifespan and the connected docking station, and more.

Software

Installed applications, versions, patch levels, licensing details. Plus the known vulnerabilities per version, and more.

Configuration

Firewall status, antivirus status, uptime, server roles, services, who last logged in, and more.

Permissions

Shares, Active Directory groups, database rights, user assignments, mailbox access, who has local administrator rights, and more.

How it works

Agentless as standard. A path for every starting point.

Headquarters · Site A Site B LOGINventory Server & Scanner Remote Scanner standalone · on site WIN LIN MAC SW AD WIN PRN SW WMI SSH SSH SNMP LDAP WMI SNMP SNMP agentless · 1,100+ values per asset one Windows machine is enough On-site scan Transfer to headquarters (.inv files) Offline Agent: laptops on the road sync on next connection

Headquarters scans its own network directly, over the protocols that are already open anyway: WMI, SSH, SNMP, LDAP. At a remote site, the standalone Remote Scanner scans and transfers .inv files. Laptops on the road are discovered by the Offline Agent, reporting in at the next contact. One interface, one inventory.

Network inventory without a software rollout.

LOGINventory inventories your network agentlessly. No software installed on the endpoints. The inventory server queries devices remotely over standard protocols that are already active in most enterprise environments. This is what’s meant by network inventory: centralized discovery instead of distributed agents.

The setup wizard walks you through the initial configuration in a few minutes; after that, the inventory runs automatically on schedule. No software deployment to every endpoint, no rollout waves, no update cascade across the entire inventory.

A common misconception is that agentless means less data. Over WMI and RPC on Windows, SSH on Linux and macOS, and SNMP on switches, routers, and printers, LOGINventory reads the same depth an installed agent would deliver: BIOS version and serial number as well as installed software, running services, and the members of the local administrators group.

The software reads devices over the protocols you already have open. WMI for Windows, SSH for Linux, SNMP for network devices.

Multiple sites, separate subnets.

When the central server can’t route into every network segment, or branch sites run their own subnets, a lightweight scanner takes over on site. One Windows machine per site is enough.

The scanner discovers locally and saves the result as a file; sync brings it to headquarters. Everything is evaluated in the same interface as the centrally discovered devices. No second data set, no separate evaluation.

One scanner per site, one interface for all of them. The central server never has to route into every subnet.

Devices outside the corporate network.

Laptops in the field or in home offices aren’t reachable over the network. They discover themselves and report in as soon as a connection to the corporate network or VPN exists again.

Alternatively, a logon script drives discovery at the next sign-in, without a permanently installed service. Devices with no network interface at all can be added manually.

The device doesn’t need to be reachable while the scan runs. It reports in as soon as it’s back on the network.

Example from the mid-market

Three weeks of stocktaking. Reduced to one table.

Manufacturing company, ~600 assets:

Before LOGINventory, the annual inventory took three weeks and tied up two employees. After rollout, the stocktaking runs automatically. Manual effort is limited to reviewing exceptions.

Frequently asked questions

IT and network inventory: explained briefly.

What is IT inventory?

The systematic discovery of all hardware and software assets on a network. Network inventory is therefore the foundation for IT documentation and license management.

How is the network inventoried?

LOGINventory supports several methods: agentless network inventory, inventory via logon script, agent-based for laptops outside the LAN, and via USB stick. The goal is an automated overview of all relevant devices.

What can be inventoried?

All hardware and software on the network: Windows computers, Macs, Linux, and mobile devices, plus all SNMP-capable network devices like printers and switches. Also virtualization (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, XenServer, Proxmox, Nutanix, KVM), Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory (Entra ID), and databases like SQL Server. Smartphones and tablets come in through Exchange inventory; inventory from an MDM can be connected via a custom discovery script.
