Case Study: Fortune 500 Automotive Retailer achieves full visibility of 26,000+ IT assets with Lansweeper

Fortune 500 Automotive Retailer - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Automotive Retailer, a U.S. automotive and retail group with 5,001–10,000 employees and more than 100 facilities, needed to discover and manage devices (printers, PCs, routers, switches) and software across a sprawling network. The IT team lacked enterprise-wide visibility and needed reliable asset and software asset management — they evaluated and deployed Lansweeper (asset management & software asset management) beginning in 2014 to solve that challenge.

Lansweeper provided automated discovery, IP-based location grouping and customizable reports so the retailer gained full visibility of 26,000+ assets in minutes and centralized reporting across 100+ sites. The solution enabled fast software license reporting (allowing a Microsoft audit to be completed in under two days), supported hardware replacement planning, strengthened daily security practices (BitLocker, antivirus, unauthorized local admin detection), and empowered IT staff with shared reports and workflows.
