Asset intelligence

Software and hardware asset management that shows what you use and pay for

Smantix is asset intelligence for IT and procurement teams. It shows what software is installed, which applications people actually use, which hardware assets you hold, and which seats to review before the renewal date.

Software license review

Find the seats worth a second look

Smantix moves across your software estate, connecting license, installation and usage data so you can review underused and unassigned seats before renewal.

Seats
Every license seat you pay for, kept per product with purchased and assigned counts.
Evidence
Installation and usage data show which assigned seats are active, idle or not reporting.
Review
Idle and unassigned seats come up for review before the renewal. Devices that are not reporting are never counted as unused.

13 seats to review before renewal: 9 idle for 90 days and 4 not assigned. 3 seats sit on devices that are not reporting, so they are left out rather than counted as unused. This is an identified opportunity, projected until someone reviews it.

What Smantix does

Know what you own, what is really used and what renews next, so you stop paying for software nobody needs. Works on Windows, with Macs in early access.

Software and hardware inventory

Know every computer, monitor and phone you own, what is on it and who has it.

Usage metering

See which applications people actually open, so you stop renewing seats nobody uses.

License optimization

Find the seats you pay for and nobody uses, before the renewal date.

Renewal tracking

Every renewal on one calendar, with a reminder before the date.

ServiceNow early access

Your service desk sees who has which computer and software, inside the ServiceNow it already uses.

Customer API

Bring Smantix data into your own dashboards and reports.

How we calculate this

An estimated saving is the number of paid seats nobody is using, multiplied by what each seat costs. It becomes a confirmed saving only after a cancellation, a seat removal that lowers the bill, or a smaller renewal. If a device has not been reporting, its lack of use is not counted. Some license types, including Microsoft 365 in this sample, are not calculated.

How it works

From first device to first renewal decision

Three steps, and you can see the evidence behind every number along the way.

Deploy the agent

Install the agent on the devices you want covered. Each one reports as soon as the agent starts, then once a day.

See the estate

See every device, its software and how much each app is used, in one place. Missing data is shown, so it is never mistaken for an unused seat.

Act before renewal

Review unused and unassigned seats ahead of each end date, record what changed, and keep projected opportunities apart from realised savings.

What Smantix covers

Every view uses the same records, so the numbers agree wherever you look.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is software asset management?

Software asset management (SAM) is the practice of tracking the software an organization owns, where it is installed, and how much it is used, so license spend matches real need. Smantix does this from endpoint evidence: installed software, application usage and the license position for each product.

How do I get a demo or trial?

Request a demo or a 30-day trial for up to 25 endpoints from the contact page. Purchase terms are arranged with sales. There is no published list price on this site.

Do you guarantee savings?

No. This site talks about identified opportunities. Realised savings need a documented commercial change.

Who is Smantix built for?

IT and procurement teams that need to know what is installed, what is used and what they are paying for before a renewal.

Which devices are supported?

Windows workstations, servers and virtual desktops. The macOS agent is in early access and covers installed apps, hardware and app usage.

How do I buy Smantix or start a trial?

Request a demo or a 30-day trial for up to 25 endpoints from the contact page. Purchase terms are arranged with sales.

How do renewal notices work?

The calendar uses license end dates. A notice is a sign-in link, and the report downloads after sign-in.

What does the agent collect?

Hardware, installed software, health and aggregate foreground time by application. Not window titles, URLs, keystrokes or documents.

Does Smantix track SaaS subscriptions?

As licenses, yes. Record a SaaS subscription with its seat count, assignments and end date, and it sits beside your other licenses and on the renewal calendar. Usage comes from the device, so Smantix measures a SaaS product only when its desktop app is in use. It does not read SaaS admin consoles or browser activity.
