Keep track of your hardware and software

The office admin's life is not made any easier by complex software license agreements or the rotation of computer hardware. Keeping track of which software license is installed on which computers, working out which computers are due from repair or how many licenses of Microsoft Office you have left are tedious and thankless tasks. This is where HSTracker comes in.

HSTracker is a simple to use asset management application that helps you keep track of hardware and software in your business and stay on top of software licensing in your organisation. It is available in three versions - Lite, Standard and Multi-user.

A Time Saver

HSTracker deploys an intuitive user interface with flexible management and reporting of data. By making the right data available at the right time, it can save you time and spare you many searches through emails and invoices. HSTracker makes sure that all the information you need is available at a glance and even connects to the Apple support site to find the latest info about your specific Apple hardware. HSTracker can import Apple Remote Desktop reports for all your Apple computers, saving you having to enter the data manually. If you have to resort to manual entry, HSTracker uses predictive text to make that a little easier.

Among its features:

• Manage key data such as serial numbers, MAC addresses, hardware configuration and licenses
• Import Apple Remote Desktop reports
• Predictive text entry based on previous items
• Remote control of computers directly from HSTracker (requires OS X 10.5)
• Serial search feature to find your computer model on the Apple Specs site
• Built-in bug reporting feature. We like user feedback!
• QuickFind feature to quickly search the complete database
• Automatic save
• A history tab allows you to track faults and repairs as well as warranty
• See number of licenses remaining and quickly list all working or faulty computers
• Export reports directly to Excel or plain text CSV
• Built-in help and extensive tool tips
• Keep track on which software licenses are installed on which computers. Create one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one license assignments
• Network version supports Active Directory and Open Directory via FileMaker Server. Control which users are allowed full access, read-only or none at all.
• Easy contextual navigation with most useful items only a click away
• RealPower estimate helps you assess which computers will give the best performance
• Batch record generator - a true time saving feature (v1.2)

Versions

HSTracker Lite - the Lite version offers all the hardware related features but omits the ability to manage software licenses. It retains all the other features including the ability to import from Apple Remote Desktop and export Excel files. The Lite version does not require any additional software to run.

HSTracker - the standard version has a full and complete set of features including hardware and software management. Its only limit is that only one user at a time can access the data. It does not require FileMaker or any other additional software.

HSTracker Multi-User - the network version includes all the features and also supports up to 10 concurrent users. It requires FileMaker 9 or later with FileMaker Server recommended. Versions that support more than 10 concurrent users are available on request. All versions offer Apple Remote Desktop integration. Please email hstracker@gal.co.uk if you have any questions.

Upgrades are also available, so you can buy the Lite version now and upgrade to the standard or the full blown multi-user version at any time for the price difference + £10 admin fee.
