Applixure

Judging the health of every company computer

Applixure is a cloud platform for IT teams that look after large numbers of employee computers. Small agents installed on each device collect information automatically, and the platform analyses it, scores it and shows the results on dashboards. The aim is to give IT a live picture of what hardware and software is in use, how each device is performing and where problems are building up.

From fixing faults to planning ahead

The vendor argues that most IT departments spend their time reacting to complaints. Applixure instead flags recurring problems, warnings and low scores so that teams can act early. Helpdesk staff can spot other users with the same fault as a reported one and fix it before anyone raises a ticket. The same data supports security work: it shows operating system and software version sprawl, whether security features are switched on and whether critical patches have been installed.

Replacement decisions based on evidence

The company's current focus is fleet health optimisation. Its lifespan analysis estimates which computers can safely stay in use for longer, and which ones really do need replacing. The site describes a customer that moved a fleet from a three-year to a four-year lease after seeing the health data, and another public-sector customer that identified savings in a single quarterly leasing cycle. Targeted rebuilds and fixes are presented as a way to extend healthy devices by a year or more on average.

Reporting for IT and finance

A health baseline model, quality thresholds and automated workflows turn findings into action. Forecasting lets teams plan replacements as a predictable process, and scoring and trend data make it easier to show finance what IT has achieved. Companies can also compare themselves against others. Agents are pre-configured and can be deployed in minutes, with data collection starting straight away. The company says more than a thousand companies and managed service providers use the platform, and it presents the result as a better digital employee experience, since computers run more smoothly.
