Apple Business integration

Every Mac, iPhone and iPad you own, already on the books.

Apple Business Manager knows exactly what your organization has bought. Connect it and that purchase record becomes assets in AssetCenter, with serial numbers, order numbers, purchase dates and AppleCare coverage filled in rather than typed from an invoice.

A controlled connection

Nothing becomes an asset without your say

An Apple Business account holds everything the organization has ever bought, including the iPhones retired three years ago. Devices arrive in a list and wait for you: import them, attach them to assets you already track, or set them aside for good.

One-way, read only

AssetCenter reads your Apple Business account and never changes anything in it. Apple does not share prices, so what you paid stays yours to enter.

1

Devices meet the assets you have

A device whose serial matches an asset you already track is linked automatically, including serials captured with a barcode scanner, which read Apple hardware with a leading S. The asset keeps its history and gains what Apple knows.
2

You decide about the rest

Import a device as a new asset, attach it to an existing one, or exclude it. Import all takes the whole waiting list in one go, filing computers, phones and tablets wherever you choose and linking anything that matches an asset you already have. A bulk exclude clears out everything ordered before a month you pick.
3

New purchases file themselves

Turn on automatic importing and AssetCenter checks Apple every ten minutes for devices it has never seen. Choose the category for computers, phones, tablets and everything else, and leave a kind out to keep handling it yourself.

Records stay useful

Purchase facts meet the rest of the story

Apple is the authority on what a device is and when it was bought. AssetCenter keeps the operational record around it: who has it now, where it has been, what it has cost and when its warranty runs out.

Acquisitions written for you

An asset with no acquisition on record gets one from the Apple order, dated and referenced, ready for depreciation once you add the price.

Warranties that raise their hand

AppleCare end dates arrive as warranty records, so your existing expiring-warranty reminders cover Apple hardware too.

One asset, several sources

An asset holds one record per source, so the same Mac can carry its Apple purchase record alongside its Mosyle or Jamf enrolment.

Apple never overwrites what a person entered. Acquisitions, warranties and model numbers already on an asset are left exactly as they are; Apple only fills the gaps.
