ServiceNow® Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) automates the end-to-end life cycle of physical business assets. Understand what you own, where it is, and how it’s being used. Make data-driven financial and operational decisions to optimize asset investments from planning through retirement.
Asset managers can streamline tasks with prescriptive workflows, including acquire-to-deploy processes, reservations, RMAs, recalls, asset onboarding, and asset moves.
Manage maintenance plans for enterprise assets across all locations. Create maintenance schedules associated with models or assets based on user-defined rules triggered by time, use, or condition. Initiate and assign planned or ad-hoc enterprise asset work orders, including parts requirements. Keep asset information accurate through removing, swapping, or using assets as a result of a work order.
Operate asset warehouses efficiently and optimize stock levels for your organization by using inventory management capabilities such as stockrooms, stock rules, bulk orders, transfers, and mobile scanning. When enterprise assets are nearing the end of useful life, manage your asset refresh cycles, lease-end decisions, and disposal processes.

New in the Zurich release
- Organize your assets into hierarchical asset groups to manage your complex asset ecosystems
- Organize assets into logical groups and subgroups to represent their dependencies and operational relationships. Use a dependency map to visualize the entire structure of the asset hierarchy, making it easy to see all the subgroups and assets within each asset group.
- Inspect the condition of enterprise assets to determine their health and ensure reliability
- Define condition attributes for enterprise models and assets and associate these attributes with templates to identify any potential issues throughout the asset life cycle. Enable scoring in the templates to calculate asset condition scores to determine whether an asset passes or fails the evaluation. Schedule asset condition evaluations via maintenance plans or work orders. View comprehensive reports on the asset condition outcomes on dashboards across your organization.
- Optimize your operations with asset performance reports
- Track the past performance of assets and get notified about trends, threshold breaches, or anomalies based on their location, model category, model, or classification. This tracking helps improve asset availability according to ISO standards.
- Monitor supply and demand of assets in a stockroom with detailed inventory reports
- Track and manage stockrooms efficiently by evaluating the inventory reports in the Inventory view of the Enterprise Asset Workspace. These reports help you:
- Find replacement options or spare part availability for assets that are in use, being repaired, or in maintenance
- Quickly identify shortages and align current demand in your stockroom with both current and incoming supply
- Analyze the supply to meet open demand across all stockrooms or locations
- Achieve faster diagnostics and enhanced maintenance efficiency with standardized failure and resolution codes
- Enable technicians to record predefined failure reasons and resolution steps with configurable codes. You can create, update, and import these codes through spreadsheets in the Admin center of the Enterprise Asset Workspace. In the Repair flow, these codes help technicians record the reason for the specific issue with the asset and the appropriate solution for repairing it.
- Manage OT hardware models and assets in the OT Asset Workspace
- Enable OT asset managers to view and fulfill requests for OT hardware assets in the OT Asset Workspace. The reports and dashboards in the OT Asset workspace include OT hardware models, assets, and requests. The following OT Asset Management workflows and features now provide support for OT hardware assets and models, in addition to the workflows and features that continue to support them from the Yokohama release:
- Bulk import
- Asset reclamation
- Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN)
- Asset audits
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Lease contract
- Risk
- Resale
- Loaner
- Move
- Recall
- Stock rule
- Remediate unsuccessful enterprise asset calibrations
- Remediate failed calibration events by initiating new work orders and corresponding work order tasks for those events. When you select the option to remediate a failed calibration event, you can choose an appropriate work order template to generate a new work order with at least one work order task. The work order and work order task are auto-populated with the asset that you want to calibrate, the location of that asset, the original work order, and all mandatory fields. In addition, the original and new calibration events and their corresponding tasks are linked together through the Parent field for full traceability.
- Measure calibration tolerance conformance by using additional value types
- Use the following additional value types to compare your calibration measurements against the corresponding tolerances that you define:
- Range
- Less than
- Greater than
- Manage unique identifiers for enterprise assets using CI identification rules
- Define required and unique fields on asset records by creating identification rules on associated CI classes in the Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE). When you create an asset whose model category is linked to a CI class with an identification rule, you should provide details for at least one of the fields, such as Asset tag, Serial number, and MAC address, that uniquely identify the asset.
- Drop off and receive assets at a stockroom by using the ServiceNow Mobile Agent application
- Return the assets that you have in your personal stockroom to a different stockroom by creating a Drop off task using the ServiceNow® Mobile Agent application. The asset manager of the destination stockroom receives the assets that you dropped off through a Receive task. The asset manager then verifies the received assets and closes the Drop off task using the Mobile Agent application.
Note: Starting with the Xanadu release, you could create Drop off and Receive tasks in the Enterprise Asset Workspace. However, now you can also use the Mobile Agent application for the same purpose.
- Receive shipment assets at a stockroom through the streamlined and unified receiving process
- Receive assets from any workflow directly at the stockroom using the unified receiving functionality in the following workspaces:
- Enterprise Asset Workspace
- OT Asset Workspace
- Medical Asset Workspace
- Facility Asset Workspace
This standardized receiving process reduces the time spent on receiving assets. By requiring each asset to be assigned a unique identifier when received at the stockroom, the quality of asset data also improves.
You can receive assets in bulk by using a template. Additionally, you can view the results and validation comments in the staging table. During this process, the system handles existing assets, creates new ones as needed, and performs comprehensive validations.
- Track asset movement from the receiving bay to an aisle-space in the stockroom
- Move assets from the receiving bay to their designated aisle and space and improve asset tracking and inventory management by using the Asset put away feature. This task can be performed via the Enterprise Asset Workspace or ServiceNow Agent application.
