Manufacturing: ITSM, ITOM, HAM & SAM built for how you actually run
Running hardware asset management per-plant instead of centrally is one of the most common (and most expensive) patterns we see in manufacturing. We help multi-site manufacturers bring shop-floor hardware, procurement and CMDB data together into one lifecycle.
Where this shows up in Manufacturing
Multi-plant hardware, one source of truth. These are the areas where we most often engage with Manufacturing organizations.
Shop-floor hardware lifecycle
Plant-floor terminals, handhelds and networking gear need lifecycle tracking from procurement through retirement, not a per-site spreadsheet. We centralize this without disrupting plant operations.
Plant equipment warranty tracking
Missed warranty windows on plant equipment turn into avoidable repair costs. We build warranty and lifecycle tracking directly into the asset register so renewals and claims don’t get missed.
Multi-site procurement consolidation
When each plant buys independently, duplicate purchases and inconsistent standards follow. We help design procurement-to-retirement workflows that give central IT visibility without removing plant-level flexibility.
IoT device asset registry
Sensors and connected shop-floor devices are assets too, and most CMDBs weren’t built with them in mind. We help extend your asset register and CMDB to cover IoT device classes cleanly.
What this looks like in practice
A representative engagement pattern from Manufacturing.
Ending duplicate hardware spend across a multi-plant footprint
Global industrial manufacturer running dozens of plants, each managing hardware locally.
Laptops, plant-floor terminals, and networking equipment were tracked in per-site spreadsheets with no central visibility, leading to duplicate purchases, missed warranty renewals, and slow break-fix response.
Implemented centralized Hardware Asset Management with barcode-based lifecycle tracking, standardized procurement-to-retirement workflows, and integrated the hardware register into the CMDB as a single source of truth.
Meaningful reduction in duplicate spend and much faster break-fix turnaround plant-wide.

Industry-specific use cases
Focused problems we solve for Manufacturing teams.
Change Management Around Planned Maintenance Windows
IT change control that’s synchronized with plant maintenance schedules, not fighting them.
IT Asset Lifecycle Management Across Multiple Plants
One asset lifecycle process across plants that have each historically managed IT their own way.
Incident Management for Production-Critical Systems
Incident processes that prioritize production line impact the way the business actually experiences it.
