uControlYou can't manage, secure or cost what you can't see.
Most organisations run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, point tools and stale exports — each holding part of the picture, none holding all of it. By the time an inventory is compiled it is already out of date.
uControl Insights discovers every asset across IT, OT and cloud — including roaming and home-worker devices through a deployable agent — and uControl Core reconciles it into a single, de-duplicated, always-current record.
Executive summary
Real-Time Asset Visibility replaces periodic, partial inventories with a continuous, unified one. Insights discovers agentlessly across the network and captures off-network devices through an endpoint agent; Core reconciles every source into one trusted asset record with full lineage.
The result is a single source of truth for operations, security, asset management and finance — current to the last scan, not the last audit.
The business challenge
Visibility fails for structural reasons, not a lack of effort:
- Assets appear and disappear faster than manual inventories can track
- Remote and home-worker devices never touch the corporate network
- OT and cloud sit outside traditional IT tooling
- Every team holds a different partial list
- Exports are stale the moment they're produced
The consequence is unmanaged risk, wasted spend and decisions made on incomplete data.
The uControl approach
uControl establishes and maintains a live operational baseline. Insights runs agentless discovery across IT, OT and cloud and captures roaming devices through a lightweight agent; Core normalises and reconciles it all into one record — so what one team discovers, every team can trust.
How it works
Estate-wide discovery Insights
Agentless, credential-light discovery of Windows, Linux, macOS, network, storage, hypervisors, cloud and OT — 40+ asset types in one inventory.
Off-network capture Insights
A deployable Windows/macOS agent inventories roaming and home-worker devices, peripherals and software usage — no scannable network required.
Reconciliation into one record Core
Core normalises and de-duplicates every source into a single asset with identification rules and full source-to-asset lineage.
Always current Insights Core
Continuous discovery keeps the inventory live; Core surfaces what's new, changed or missing as the estate evolves.
Search, dashboards & API Core
Ask questions of the live inventory, drive dashboards, and integrate the record via REST API.
Reference architecture
Your enterprise Discovery populates your CMDB, while uControl Insights discovers independently. uControl Core takes feeds from your Discovery, your CMDB and Insights to do the analysis.
Customer journey
- Discover Run Insights across the network and deploy the agent for off-network devices.
- Unify Core reconciles every source into one de-duplicated record.
- Enrich Layer owner, location, lifecycle and business context onto each asset.
- Operate Search, report and share one trusted inventory across teams.
- Maintain Continuous discovery keeps it current as the estate changes.
Key capabilities
Business benefits
Illustrative scenario
An organisation with a large hybrid and home-working estate had asset data spread across five tools and dozens of spreadsheets, none complete.
Within days, uControl Insights discovered the on-network estate and captured home-worker laptops through the agent, and Core reconciled it into one live inventory — surfacing hundreds of previously untracked devices and giving every team the same trusted view.
Frequently asked questions
How do you see devices that are never on our network?
A lightweight Windows/macOS agent checks in outbound and auto-creates an asset with hardware, user, software, usage and peripherals — deployed via Intune, SCCM, Jamf or any RMM.
How is this different from a discovery scan?
Insights discovers; Core reconciles every source (discovery, agent, integrations) into one de-duplicated record with lineage — a single inventory, not one list per tool.
Does it cover OT and cloud?
Yes — agentless OT/ICS recognition and native AWS, Azure and Google Cloud discovery are first-class, alongside IT.
