If your current asset management processes (or lack of) feel chaotic, with information scattered across different tools and spreadsheets, we can help you get back in control.
Starhive provides a central foundation of asset data, enabling you to make informed decisions on budgets, audit readiness, risk mitigation, optimisation, and more.
Why Starhive
Why choose Starhive for IT asset management?
- 01
Centralise data, get visibility
Your assets aren't isolated. They have owners, supporting assets, contracts, controls, and other relevant information that should be visible from the asset.
Enrich your assets with this extra information from 500+ sources to make accurate decisions that optimise your asset ROI. - 02
Cross-team asset visibility
We know it's not just technical teams that need to access IT asset data, so we designed Starhive to safely share specific asset data and processes with non-technical users.
Boost cross-team collaboration and increase your team's internal profile. - 03
Fully open data model
Your asset landscape is unique. We think your asset management solution should be too. But without the need for full-time developers.
Our unrivalled flexibility means you can independently configure a system that meets your exact needs. Instead of living with workarounds that end up duplicating data or increase workload.
Because Starhive provides full visibility and context into your assets, our Nova AI can analyse your entire asset and business situation.
Spot potential issues, plan refreshes, and run AI simulations to plan ahead and avoid nasty surprises.
