Device Management

WebFrolic keeps an inventory of the official and personal devices your workforce uses: what each device is, who it is assigned to, and when it was first and last used. Because devices live in the identity provider, the device record sits next to the person and their access.

Available now in WebFrolic.

Why it matters

A leaver’s laptop is part of offboarding too.

Device records usually sit in a spreadsheet or a separate tool, so nobody can say which devices a departing employee still holds or which personal phones are used for sign-in. Keeping the inventory in the identity provider ties devices to the same lifecycle as the person.

Official devices

Company hardware, tracked

Record managed devices against their SKU and the person they are assigned to.

Personal devices

Bring-your-own, visible

Keep personal devices used for work in their own list, separate from company hardware.

Assignments and usage

Who has it, and when it was used

See each device’s owner, first and last use, and retire it when it comes back or goes missing.

In Devices, add the device models you use to the SKU directory.

02

Record devices

Add official devices to the managed list and personal devices to their own list.

03

Assign them

Assign each device to the person who holds it.

04

Use it at offboarding

When someone leaves, review their assigned devices and retire or reassign each one.

Before rollout

Questions worth answering.

Settle these first and the rollout is mostly configuration.

  • Decide which device details you need to record.
  • Separate company-owned and personal devices.
  • Assign every official device to a named person.
  • Add device return to your leaver checklist.
  • Estimate cost: $1 per device and $0.10 per assignment each month.
