About Lansweeper
Belgian-built IT asset visibility for the whole technology estate.
Lansweeper was founded in 2004 in Dendermonde, Belgium and still has its headquarters in Grembergen, on the edge of that same town. Investment company Dovesco took a stake in 2018, and in June 2021 Insight Partners came in as a growth investor that helped put the platform on the map outside Europe. By that point Lansweeper said it was discovering and monitoring around 100 million devices for more than 25,000 customers, with names like Mercedes, Sony, Nestle, IBM and Maersk in the reference list, alongside governments, banks and universities.
The product covers the full IT estate: laptops, desktops, servers, virtual machines, cloud assets across AWS, Azure and GCP, mobile devices, network gear, IoT and OT systems. Discovery runs agentless over SNMP, SSH, WMI and HTTP, with passive scanning and an optional agent for off-network laptops. Around the asset record sit installed software titles and versions, user accounts, licence data, configuration details and vulnerability scores from CVE feeds. The Lansweeper console answers "what is on our network right now". The harder questions, like which end-of-life laptops are still assigned to active employees, where software spend exceeds the active-user count or how vulnerability exposure breaks down per business unit for the board, sit across Lansweeper and the systems around it. Pulling Lansweeper into a warehouse is how IT, security, finance and HR stop running those numbers out of CSV exports the week before the steering committee.
