In IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), one thing is crystal clear: accuracy and efficiency are paramount. The slightest error can have significant repercussions when managing data-bearing devices, especially at the end of their lifecycle. That’s where Securis comes in, with an innovative solution to change the game: DriveSnap AI.  

At Securis, we’ve always been committed to setting the highest standards in data security and IT asset management. Inventory Management is a crucial part of this process. Our proprietary AI technology, DriveSnap AI, enhances every step, from inventory scanning to secure destruction, ensuring that your assets are tracked precisely and processed without delay. In IT Asset Management for Asset Disposition, accuracy and efficiency are critical for a solid chain of custody. Asset scanning is the first crucial step in this process.

The Challenge of Manual IT Asset Tracking

Traditionally, IT asset tracking relies heavily on manual processes. Technicians and clients often face the daunting task of scanning product labels, which can be highly confusing. A single asset label can include a variety of sequences—model numbers, part numbers, serial numbers, etc that need to be recorded correctly. Take, for example, an asset label with two different serial numbers. If a technician scans one serial number, and a client scans the other, how can you be sure which number is correct? 

Smaller devices like SD cards may not even have a bar code to scan. The serial number is often printed in such small text that it’s difficult to read, forcing technicians to enter it manually. This process is both time-consuming and prone to human error. Incorrect number entries or the wrong interpretation of complex labels can compromise the accuracy of asset tracking. This slows the process and can create discrepancies that complicate the chain of custody. The result is confusion, inefficiency, and potentially costly mistakes.

Some labels are so small it's difficult to see the numbers.

DriveSnap AI: Revolutionizing Asset Tracking

This is where Securis’ cutting-edge AI-powered technology makes all the difference. DriveSNap AI automates and streamlines the entire inventory scanning process. Once the scan is complete, the DriveSnap AI algorithm takes over. It intelligently processes the image, accurately identifying and separating the different asset identifiers and organizing the data clearly. There’s no more ambiguity, errors, or slowdowns caused by manual data entry. In fact, our reports are more than 99% accurate, which is well over the industry standard for ITAD, which is about 85%.  Also,  if questions arise later about an asset that was physically destroyed, the entire label has been captured, so all information on the label that no longer exists in physical form is forever preserved digitally.

A standout feature of DriveSnap AI is its ability to capture high-resolution photos of HDD and SSD labels, oftentimes providing the sole photographic record of each asset before destruction. This capability offers clients unparalleled transparency and ensures accuracy throughout the ITAD process. These photos are archived alongside job documentation and integrated into a secure database, accessible in real-time through Securis’ client portal. Clients can instantly review these records, track assets as they are scanned, and resolve discrepancies such as data mismatches or incorrect barcode scans by cross-referencing archived photos. While the certificate of destruction serves as the official proof of secure data destruction, the photographic records offer an unmatched layer of accountability and precision, setting Securis apart as an industry leader.
