Inventory Management

Maintain full control with real-time tracking, serialized audits, and secure chain of custody.

Constant Visibility. Total Assurance.

Throughout the disposition process, you need clear visibility into every piece of equipment.

For data bearing devices, tracking and confidence are critical. You need to know the right assets are scheduled, accounted for, and handled for data destruction.

For non data devices, requirements may be less strict, but you still need confidence they are processed in line with environmental standards.

  • Audit & Verification
  • Inventory Reconciliation

Audit & Verification

Capture accurate IT asset data at the source with onsite audits tailored to your environment, equipment type, and program goals. We offer multiple audit levels—from basic make, model, and serial number scans to detailed component-level cataloging.

Conducted onsite for added security or offsite for convenience, our audits create a reliable asset record that supports redeployment, resale, or secure disposition. All data is captured using scanning tools to maintain traceability and align with ITAM compliance requirements. 

Inventory Reconciliation

 Ensure alignment between your internal asset records and physical inventory through multi-stage reconciliation. We compare onsite audit results with your ITAM system or ITSM platform, identifying discrepancies like missing, misidentified, or unexpected assets—so nothing is overlooked during the ITAD process.

Reconciliation occurs at key points, including post-audit and post-arrival, with variance reports provided to maintain accuracy and accountability. This process supports compliance, audit-readiness, and complete chain-of-custody from pickup to processing. 

Asset Tracking That Holds Up

End-to-End Inventory Visibility

 Inventory management keeps your IT asset records accurate, aligned with internal systems, and ready for audit. Every asset is accounted for before decommissioning or disposition begins. 

Validated Asset Records

Establish a reliable inventory baseline through onsite or offsite asset validation, capturing make, model, serial number, and tag information—ensuring no asset is left undocumented. 

Systems Alignment

Reconcile your physical inventory against ITAM, CMDB, or ITSM records to identify mismatches and outdated entries. Reconciliation results are delivered in structured formats and viewable through your secure client portal. 

Compliance Assurance

Ensure your ITAD program meets internal controls and external audit requirements with verified inventory documentation and full traceability from the point of validation. 

Lifecycle Planning Enablement

Get accurate, verified inventory data that supports informed decisions on redeployment, refresh cycles, or secure disposition. 

Tracking your Assets - in Real-Time

DMD Portal for improved management

DMD provides our customers access to a self-service portal, which allows you to see the current disposition of any and every specific asset.

Our portal allows you to look up past Certificates of Destruction, environmental reporting, even export asset lists for remediation in your ITSM system. 

The DMD Way

Our Recommendation for Assurance

For optimal security and protection of your data and your customers' data, we recommend an onsite audit and reconciliation. We will capture the detail of all assets aggregated for data sanitization, compare it with your provided list, and deal with any discrepancies prior to the IT assets leaving the facility. If there is a mistake, a conflict, an inadvertent asset added, we correct the issue before we leave the controlled environment. A small price to pay for COMPLETE certainty.
