The Challenge: Efficient Digital Management of It Devices at Different Locations (Also Remote)
Therefore, IT manager Murat Tulgar was looking for a solution that could digitally map the devices and manage them efficiently. In the process, he came across the Timly software, those involved tested the app intensively and decided in favour of it. Since 2021, SodaStream has been using Timly’s digital inventory management, which has significantly reduced the time and resources needed for inventory and ensures an overview of the entire IT inventory.
The Solution: Mobile Digital Device Management With Defect Reporting System
Digital It Device Management Mobile via App
To keep track of all IT devices from monitors to laptops, SodaStream’s staff and IT manager use the Timly inventory app. A device can be found using the search function in the system to display the location or the employee where it can currently be found. All data can be accessed directly on the device with a simple QR code scan.
Reserve Equipment in Advance and Plan Maintenance
In the so-called deadline and maintenance planner, a device can easily be reserved in advance and allocated to the respective employees. If employee X needs the device again after 3 weeks, for example, it is assigned to employee Y in the meantime if necessary. The return of the device is then automatically reminded in due time.
Innovation: Self-Inventory for the Home Office!
The number of home office employees at SodaStream is not insignificant, which is why the inventory was made very difficult.
“This gave rise to the idea of self-inventory, which we approached Timly with. This resulted in the new function, with which every employee can now inventory their equipment in the home office or even mobile.”
Murat Tulgar (IT Manager, SodaStream)
The function enables the supervisor or person in charge to automatically send a reminder to all employees in the home office. They can then easily take inventory of their devices or report defects using a QR code scan with their smartphone.
Most used functions:
Assign assets
Integrated barcode scanner
The inventory and reporting of defects is now done easily with the integrated barcode scanner. This does not require an extra scanning device, but simply the smartphone of the employees.
Result: Save Time & Resources Through Digital Device Management With Mobile Self-Inventory
The introduction of Timly inventory software has helped SodaStream to digitally record and manage its IT equipment. As a result, there is now a good overview of all devices and the inventory can be carried out quickly and reliably thanks to the mobile “self-inventory”.“Now we save a tremendous amount of time because it also only takes 2 minutes for the home office staff to confirm their assets.”
The challenges that had arisen due to the increased work in the home office could thus be solved and provide for a great saving of time and resources.“Timly is exactly the right software for our problems and the management of our assets.” Murat Tulgar (IT Manager, SodaStream)
At SodaStream GmbH, Timly has provided great time savings, especially with the innovative “self-inventory” function, which is noticeable during the annual inventory.
