Purchasing for assets

[ElDab67]

I'm evaluating Lansweeper at the moment and so far I love what I see. Currently, Spiceworks is my asset management tool and one feature it has that I can't seem to find in Lansweeper is purchasing. Does it exist?

sure I'll check the beta out

You said the beta doesn't have purchasing though.

I just watched the videos.
We do something similar with a helpdesk ticket type and custom fields. (see this link http://www.lansweeper.com/kb/185/creating-and-adding-custom-fields-to-ticket-types.html)
We have created custom fields needed for a purchase. (type, vendor, price, PO number, status, ...) and added it to a ticket type.

If you are interested in testing the 6.0 beta let us know on support@lansweeper.com

Their purchasing module is pretty slick but still needs a bit of work to be more flexible. There is a 30 minute video in the SW University that explains it pretty well if you are interested...and no adware installed to watch it. 🙂

I'm not familiar with the purchasing module in Spiceworks (we aren't allowed to install adware in our company)
We use the upcoming Lansweeper 6.0 beta in house for our purchasing. It doesn't have a purchasing module but we customized a helpdesk ticket type with many custom fields to accommodate our needs.
