Trackit has taken customer and market insight on board and developed a new cloud based asset management solution for enterprise businesses – Trackit Pro. The new software allows you to manage any type of physical asset (including DC, IT and M&E assets) on one intuitive platform. Trackit Pro requires no installation, is entirely web based and fully responsive - simply browse to the site and start populating assets quickly and accurately from any device. Drag and drop CAD plans into locations to automatically generate multiple layers of information and overlay the assets to build up a true environment representation in minutes. As assets move and change, dynamically report on space and resource capacities to help plan and manage IT areas. Optionally, layer on additional information such as environmental monitoring using the Trackit Pro API to visualise all available data in one place. This software will empower enterprise clients with full visibility and the insight they need to make more intelligent strategic decisions to more effectively manage their entire DC/IT asset lifecycle.
