How VIZOR Allocates Assets to Employees

VIZOR consolidates asset, employee and AD information. Assets can easily, even automatically, be allocated to employees providing department and asset managers with full asset visibility. VIZOR tracks who is using what so when an employee calls in with a question about their computer or when they lose a cellphone, you know exactly what you’re working with. By default, VIZOR keeps inventory information accurate.
