Method and system for tracking device inventory and utilization

A computing apparatus for tracking device utilization, the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a communication interface coupled to each of the processor and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain first data that relates to a respective physical location of each of a plurality of devices within a first area;
• obtain second data that relates to respective network switch information of each of the plurality of devices within the first area;
• obtain third data that relates to a respective network activity being actively performed by using each of the plurality of devices within the first area;
• use each of the first data, second data, and third data to determine a respective utilization of each of the plurality of devices within the first area that indicates at least one from among a frequency of usage of each of the plurality of devices and a usage availability of each of the plurality of devices that includes a total number of devices contained in an inventory of the plurality of devices and a number of unassigned devices within the inventory of the plurality of devices;
• and
• output, via the communication interface, a result of the determination that includes a complete mapping of an infrastructure of the first area that includes a number of devices included in the plurality of devices, a number of devices from among the plurality of devices that are assigned to a desk, and a number of devices from among the plurality of devices that are unassigned to a desk.
