Why traditional inventory management fails in the automotive industry.

Strict certifications (IATF 16949) require complete documentation. Untraceable tools or test vehicles cause unnecessary new purchases. seventhings closes this gap directly on the shop floor.

Questions & answers

What is asset intelligence?

Asset Intelligence is the evolution of classic inventory management. It describes the ability not only to manage physical assets (assets) but also to make them “intelligent” through data analysis and technology.

In essence, it is about making well-founded business decisions based on real-time data, rather than relying on estimates or manual lists.

The three pillars of asset intelligence:

  1. Data collection (IoT & connectivity): Sensors and software continuously record the status, location and utilization of systems (e.g. machines, vehicles, or IT equipment).
  2. Analysis (AI & Algorithms): Artificial intelligence evaluates this raw data, recognizes patterns and makes suggestions for optimal operation.
  3. Action level (Actionable Insights): The findings flow directly into processes — for example through automatic maintenance notifications or optimized investment planning.

The most important benefits at a glance:

  • Predictive maintenance: Repairs are carried out proactively before a defect occurs. This minimizes expensive downtime.
  • Higher efficiency: By analyzing the workload, unused resources (ghost assets) are identified and costs are saved.
  • Extended life cycle: Data-based maintenance ensures that systems remain in use longer and more productively.
  • Transparency: Companies always know exactly where an asset is and in what condition it is (single source of truth).

Conclusion: AssetIntelligence combines the physical world of investments with the digital world of business intelligence. The aim is to extract maximum value from every investment and to reduce operational risks.

What exactly is seventhings?

Seventhings is a sustainable asset management platform for companies with over 200 employees in the DACH region.

Our mission: We are fighting waste of resources. With clarity and resource intelligence, we enable sustainable and economic decisions. The platform digitizes and centralizes the entire inventory management — from IT equipment and licenses to office furniture to vehicles and machines. In doing so, seventhings transforms isolated object data into strategic knowledge: The entire life cycle of resources is digitally visible, measurable and controllable.

The result: Away from confusing Excel lists and unconscious waste — towards transparency, efficiency and circular economy. seventhings focuses on what already exists: Instead of constantly buying new things, the benefits of what already exists are maximized.

Who is Seventhings suitable for?

seventhings is the right solution for organizations, ideally with 250 employees or more, who want an overview, compliance and efficiency in asset management. Typical users include facility & asset managers, IT managers, site managers, office managers, fleet managers, purchasing/procurement departments as well as compliance and medical technology teams. seventhings is particularly suitable in heavily regulated healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, trade, education and public administration industries.

Does seventhings also work with our existing systems?

Yes. With the help of the seventhings API, seventhings offers the option of integrating existing systems into your IT landscape. We offer standard interfaces to leading HR systems (such as Personio), ERP solutions and Microsoft 365 to automatically synchronize data and avoid manual work.

Is there a test/trial phase?

Yes — on request, we can set up a 14-day trial instance, accompanied by a kick off call and basic configuration. No credit card required.

How much does seventhings cost?

Our pricing model is fairly based on the number of assets you have and the modules you need. In a non-binding initial consultation, we will discuss when and to what extent a solution such as seventhings can solve your challenge. Please feel free to ask for a non-binding offer tailored to you.

Is my data safe with seventhings?

Seventhings is 100% made in Germany and data protection is our top priority. Our solution is compliant with GDPR and GDPR. All data is encrypted via SSL during communication between client and server.

How long does it take to implement?

The introduction is pragmatic and quick. Instead of months-long projects, we often start with premium onboarding, so you can see the first results after a very short time. Our experts will help you import your existing data (e.g. from Excel or third-party tools) and configure it so that you are immediately ready to go.
