From static asset management to intelligent lifecycle control
Lifecycle
We help organisations manage their entire device fleet — not just at deployment, but across every stage of the lifecycle.
With Echo, asset management becomes an active, real-time discipline, giving you persistent visibility into device health, usage, compliance, and ownership.
This means smarter investments, longer hardware lifespan, reduced CO₂ footprint, and continuous compliance — all from a single, BIOS-embedded platform.
Why lifecycle matters
Without full visibility, devices can quietly fall out of scope. That leads to overspending, unnecessary replacements, missed reuse opportunities, and compliance risks at offboarding.
Echo changes that. By embedding directly into the BIOS, Echo remains active — even when devices are offline, reset, or manipulated — ensuring you always have access to the data you need to make informed, timely decisions.
With better insight into how devices perform, where they are, who owns them, and when they reach critical thresholds, you gain control over:
- Asset longevity
- Budget optimization
- Sustainable procurement
- Secure decommissioning
Echo supports your organisation at every stage of the device journey.
Onboarding
Set the foundation for control — from day one
Echo begins tracking a device the moment it enters your environment. Through BIOS-level integration, new hardware is automatically registered, classified,
and linked to its assigned user and location — without relying on OS-level tools or manual input.
This ensures:
-
No new devices go unnoticed or unmanaged
-
Ownership and usage accountability from the start
-
Seamless integration into your asset inventory and CMDB
-
A consistent starting point for patching, encryption and policy enforcement
When onboarding is automated and verifiable, everything that follows becomes easier to manage and control.
Active use
Stay in control throughout the device’s operational life
During its time in use, Echo continuously monitors device health, compliance status, and behaviour — even if the device is taken offline, reset, or manipulated. It tracks encryption status, antivirus presence, patch level, battery health, and more — keeping your IT and security teams fully informed.
With this insight, you can:
- Detect failing devices before they impact productivity
Monitor for policy violations or drift - Stay aligned with frameworks like ISO 27001,
- NIS2 and GDPR
- Support ITSM and CMDB accuracy with live data
Operational control isn't just about uptime — it's about knowing your devices are doing what they should, and that your policies are being enforced.
Optimisation
Get more from your hardware — before replacing it
Echo identifies devices that are underused, oversized, or misassigned. This allows you to reallocate or right-size assets based on real-world usage, extending value and avoiding unnecessary purchases.
Echo enables you to:
- Spot overpowered laptops used for basic tasks
- Discover idle or dormant devices within teams or departments
- Reassign hardware with confidence — backed by live health and performance data
- Align lifecycle decisions with actual business needs
Hardware budgets go further when you only replace what truly needs replacing.
Replacement
Upgrade based on need — not assumption
Echo helps you plan replacements based on actual wear and performance, not arbitrary dates. It tracks warranty status, battery condition, age, usage, and health — giving you a clear picture of which devices should be replaced, and when.
This allows your organisation to:
- Proactively replace devices before they cause disruption
- Use warranty coverage to your advantage
- Avoid replacing healthy assets too early
- Make lifecycle strategy part of your budget and sustainability planning
With Echo, replacements become a strategic decision — not just a routine refresh.
Offboarding
Secure, compliant, and verifiable — even after reset
When a device leaves the organisation, Echo ensures that it's properly encrypted, locked, and logged — even if users attempt manipulation or the OS is wiped.
Echo maintains full visibility until the very end, enabling secure decommissioning, return, or recycling.
Echo supports:
- Policy and encryption checks before offboarding
- Full audit logs of status, location and compliance
- Automated alerts if a device is wiped, disconnected, or altered
- Alignment with offboarding procedures across IT, HR and security
Device offboarding is a critical control point — and Echo ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
