App 32/60: Hardware tracker
Simitless helps system administrators manage their hardware infrastructure.
You are the administrator in charge of several pieces of IT equipment. You are the go-to expert the users rely on when it comes to installing, configuring, servicing and maintaining their machines. Moreover, you don’t shy away from managing an ever-growing hardware infrastructure of your company. And that without whining or complaining. And yet, notwithstanding your dedication and diligence, there comes a time when you simply cannot keep up with all there is to do. But between the sites, the specs, the different pieces of hardware, and the different uses, your technical management data are scattered all over the place which causes you, among other things, to miss out on the dates you thought you penciled in for regular check-ups and preventive maintenance.
One solution to such a paramount problem could be a ready-to-use hardware infrastructure management app. And what do you know? You are in luck, for Simitless has exactly this kind of app model right at your fingertips. Consult the application model, then click the " Use this model" button to create your own copy of the app. Simitless is a system that adapts to your needs. Plus, it is risk-free. To save your progress, think of creating an account by following the instructions on the green buttons! Once your application has been created from the model provided, and if you are working in a team, invite your colleagues to join the application by creating a Simitless account.

With this application, you get a secure database that enables you to centralize all of your hardware infrastructure data. Create one record per customer/user and another per machine you manage, in their respective tables. Link user records with each device to be able to track device redeployments. Add technical information and maintenance dates (past and future) to have all the specs for each device in one place, on the one hand, and to keep an eye on the maintenance calendar at all times, on the other. By the way, the future maintenance dates can be calculated automatically by your application, to save you the trouble of doing it manually. To make use of this feature, simply select the calculation function in the settings of your application. (Click on the field title Edit data type find menu " Auto-calculated field" and activate it to be prompted to create a calculation formula).
It goes without saying that if you feel like what you need the app to track differs slightly from the structure suggested by the model, do not hesitate to modify it to match your exact needs.

Go ahead and add the technical information necessary for your precise use case, or delete the trackable information we have included in the app structure, if it does not fit with the way you work.
