Make an onboarding kit

Explore how to make an onboarding kit with AssetLoom

If every new employee receives the same set of devices and software, you don’t need to assign them manually each time. An Onboarding Kit in AssetLoom lets you bundle common IT resources and automatically assign them when a new team member is added.

In AssetLoom, an Onboarding Kit is created through the Predefined Kits feature. When a predefined kit is marked as an Onboarding Kit, it will automatically be assigned to new users.

What Should Be Included in an Onboarding Kit?

A typical onboarding bundle for your team might include:

  • A Laptop (e.g., MacBook Pro 14”)
  • A Monitor (e.g., Dell 27” 4K Monitor)
  • A Keyboard (e.g., Apple Magic Keyboard)
  • A Mouse (e.g., Logitech Master 3)
  • A Software License (e.g., Microsoft 365 Business Standard)
  • An Accessory (e.g., Docking Station)
  • A Consumable (e.g., MacBook 14” Sleeve)

With AssetLoom’s Onboarding Kit, when a new employee is added to the site, these items are automatically assigned to them.

Before You Start

Make sure:

  • The items you want to include already exist in your workspace
  • There are available assets that can be checked out
  • Accessories, licenses, and consumables included in your kit must have sufficient stock
