The Lansweeper Platform is a Technology Asset Intelligence solution that gives you a single source of truth for all your IT, OT, and cloud assets. By automatically discovering and centralizing asset data, Lansweeper delivers complete visibility, actionable insights, and automation, turning IT from a reactive cost center into a strategic enabler of success.

Why use Lansweeper?

Maintaining an accurate IT asset inventory is one of the most challenging jobs in IT. Devices and users change constantly, and spreadsheets or manual updates fall out of date almost immediately. Lansweeper solves this with:

  • Complete visibility: Automatically detect all IT, OT, and cloud assets in one place.

  • Accurate data: Ensure your inventory is always up to date.

  • Actionable insights: Spot unsupported devices, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps before they impact the business.

  • Automation & integrations: Sync data into your ITSM, CMDB, and security tools, reducing manual work.

Common jobs you can do with Lansweeper

  • IT Asset Management: Keep track of every device and application so nothing slips through the cracks.

  • Service Management: Enrich tickets in ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or other ITSM tools with live asset data.

  • Security & Compliance: Identify outdated software, end-of-life operating systems, or vulnerable devices, and take action before audit or incident time.

How Lansweeper works

  1. Discover your assets. No matter where your assets live, on-prem, remote, or cloud, Lansweeper brings them all into one central view.

    • Network Discovery finds devices connected to your network.

    • IT Agent (or IT Agent Portable) tracks laptops, remote, and transient devices.

    • Cloud Discovery connects to Azure, AWS, and GCP for full cloud visibility.

  2. Enrich and normalize your data. Lansweeper automatically adds details like hardware specs, installed software, user relationships, and lifecycle status. This provides you with clean, consistent data without the noise of duplicates or manual entry errors.

  3. Turn data into insights. Transition from merely understanding your current state to actively improving service delivery, reducing risk, and driving efficiency.

    • Explore dashboards, reports, and diagrams to see risks and opportunities.

    • Feed asset data directly into your ITSM and security tools.
