How Teqtivity + 42Gears Works

Device Enrollment & Asset Creation
When a new device is enrolled in 42Gears, an asset record is automatically created in Teqtivity, capturing key details like make, model, serial number, and specifications. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures accurate, centralized inventory management from the start.

User Assignment & Management
42Gears tracks the last logged-in user and syncs this information with Teqtivity, ensuring devices are correctly assigned and ownership records are kept up-to-date, minimizing errors in user-device assignments.

Compliance & Security Sync
42Gears enforces security policies (encryption, app restrictions, password policies), and this compliance data is synced with Teqtivity. Any changes to security or compliance status are reflected in Teqtivity, providing real-time visibility for IT teams to ensure devices meet organizational standards.

Status Updates & Discrepancy Handling
Teqtivity syncs with 42Gears to keep device statuses accurate. Discrepancies are flagged for IT resolution.

• Unmatched Devices: Teqtivity flags devices unmatched with employee emails in 42Gears for review.
• User Assignment Discrepancy: Teqtivity flags devices assigned to one user in 42Gears but logged in by another. Reassignments can be automated.
• Storage Devices Logged Into: Devices marked as in storage but logged into recently in 42Gears can be reassigned to the logged-in user after IT verification.
• Inactive Devices: Devices assigned but not used for over 10 days require IT investigation.
• Missing Devices: Devices listed in Teqtivity but not found in 42Gears require syncing and compliance checks.

Real-Time Reporting
Teqtivity syncs with 42Gears for real-time reporting on device status, compliance, and security, enabling rapid response to any issues and helping maintain an effective device management strategy.
