Who should choose Dots?

Dots makes sense if you're under 200 employees and want to start without a subscription.

Free ITAM software, paid global logistics in 150+ countries, HRIS and MDM included. Fast to set up, honest about its scope.

No workflow builder, no ITSM, no ISO 27001, no regional data hosting.

Simple works until IT complexity outgrows it.

What are the limitations of free IT logistics software?

Automation ceiling hits early.

No workflow builder, no ITSM connectors, no finance integration, no GenAI. Manual work fills back in as you scale.

Enterprise compliance is out of scope.

SOC 2 Type II but no ISO 27001, no regional data hosting, no audit-ready compliance reporting.

No ITSM or finance integrations.

Dots connects to HRIS and MDM. ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk, finance systems — not available.

Hidden costs of free IT software

Per-action logistics fees accumulate. Without automation depth, total cost — software + team time — often exceeds a platform that eliminates the manual work.

Built for IT teams that need more than logistics and more than free.

Full lifecycle automation that never fails.

Workwize handles the entire device lifecycle from procurement to disposal.

HRIS-triggered provisioning, MDM enrollment before shipping
Repair coordination, refresh workflows, departure-triggered retrieval, ITAD
Low-code studio for custom workflows — no engineering required

No manual handoffs. No gaps between lifecycle stages.

Meet enterprise compliance out of the box.

Compliance documentation is a platform output, not a manual process.

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified
Audit-ready asset reporting and chain-of-custody tracking
Regional data hosting and role-based access controls

Connect your full IT and finance stack.

Workwize integrates deeply across the tools your IT team already uses.

100+ HRIS, MDM, ITSM, identity, and finance integrations
ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk — hardware ops connected to ticketing
Asset data syncs to finance; provisioning connects to identity

One predictable number Finance can model.

Workwize offers transparent pricing so you know exactly what IT will cost.

Per-user pricing covers the full lifecycle
No per-action logistics fees that spike with headcount growth
Stable cost regardless of device activity volume

One system, zero hassle. Our HR and IT departments both love Workwize. It has reduced the back and forth emails about laptops and accessories. Now everything is done through one system and we can track it all easily.

The gap between 'logistics automation' and 'IT operations platform' grows as you scale.

Dots is well-executed for sub-200-employee teams that value simplicity over depth. For teams scaling past that threshold — with compliance requirements, ITSM workflows, and finance integration needs — a free-tier logistics platform creates compounding overhead.
