Introduction
In the ever-changing world of IT operations, a well-orchestrated IT Asset Management (ITAM) system is the backbone of successful IT teams. When organizations have poor ITAM in place, they have inaccurate records of assets, leaks in their IT budget, security risks, and stressed-out IT team members.
Seasoned IT professionals like Bubo P. are all too familiar with the challenges of maintaining a functioning ITAM program. Bubo has worked in the IT team for companies like global giant Uber, fintech disruptor Mollie, and is currently at Flyr Labs.
Meet Ljupcho “Bubo” Popadinovski.
In his professional career, two things are true for Bubo: he is passionate about optimizing ITAM, and he has used or implemented Teqtivity successfully at three different organizations..
Bubo was first introduced to Teqtivity in his time at Uber, and he immediately experienced the power of Teqtivity’s customizations for ITAM operations, especially at a large organization like Uber. Over the next four years, as his career progressed, he helped implement Teqtivity’s ITAM solution in the next two organizations he worked at– a testament to his enthusiasm for the flexibility Teqtivity provides across industries.
Below, we dive into the specific challenges that Bubo faced throughout his career in IT and how he has used Teqtivity to solve them.
2018: First Encounter & The Journey with Teqtivity
Bubo’s early career as a Service Desk Technician at Uber, where he was one of over 200 IT professionals supporting a global network of employees and assets. Like many global companies, Uber was faced with typical ITAM challenges, outdated spreadsheets, scattered inventory data, high device loss, and complex compliance needs across regions.
Early in his role, Bubo and the likes of his team felt the strain of these gaps firsthand. He spent hours manually tracking assets, chasing down devices, and managing incomplete records. The lack of reliable, centralized data made it difficult to support smooth onboarding, enforce return policies, or make informed procurement decisions.
But everything changed when Bubo was introduced to Teqtivity.
The Turning Point at Uber
When Uber adopted Teqtivity as its ITAM tool in 2018, Bubo was immediately impressed by its impact. Suddenly, he had real-time visibility into asset data, from who had which device to where it was located and visibility on unreturned assets. With a centralized and intuitive interface, Teqtivity helped Uber reach over 97% asset accuracy, and for Bubo, it meant fewer headaches and more control.
“Teqtivity was immediately impressive. The interface was user-friendly, and there was virtually no learning curve. That mattered when hundreds of people had to adopt it right away.”
Scalability also became a critical advantage. With Teqtivity, onboarding new employees into the ITAM system was fast and seamless; something he knew would have been impossible with legacy tools.
The Impact of Bad Data and the Power of Doing It Right
Before Teqtivity, Bubo had seen how inaccurate ITAM data could lead to real consequences: lost assets, compliance issues, over-purchasing, and hours of wasted troubleshooting. But now, he had the numbers to prove the value of doing it right. In the first year, Uber saw a $4 million reduction in operational expenses, largely due to fewer lost devices and improved processes. Their device return rate jumped from 10% to 85%, a clear indicator that the system worked.
These weren’t just company wins; they were personal proof points for Bubo. He saw how his work directly contributed to efficiency, savings, and smarter decision-making.
A Tool That Shaped His IT Philosophy
Teqtivity didn’t just make Bubo’s job easier; it validated how he viewed IT asset management altogether, as he was a firm believer that strong ITAM is foundational to a healthy IT ecosystem. As he moved into new roles and organizations, Bubo took those lessons with him, championing Teqtivity as a scalable, intuitive, and data-driven solution that empowered IT teams, not burdened them.
Today, Bubo isn’t just a technician. He’s a strategic advocate for smarter IT operations, and his journey with Teqtivity is at the core of that transformation.
2022: Championing Teqtivity at Mollie: Bubo’s Next ITAM Win
Bubo joined Mollie as an IT Supply Chain Coordinator. At the time, the company had no ITAM system, and everything was tracked manually. Having seen the value of Teqtivity at previous roles, Bubo immediately advocated for it.
“Teqtivity was an easy decision. It was cost-effective, fast to implement, and required minimal training. Within a week, our entire tech team was fully operational on it.”
- Automating Asset Tracking
Manual tracking created inefficiencies, inconsistent data, and a high risk of error. With Teqtivity, Bubo introduced automated workflows, clear lifecycle rules, and real-time status updates, giving Mollie full visibility and long-term control over their asset fleet.
- Elevating Security
Bubo partnered with Mollie’s Risk team and Teqtivity to develop a custom Risk Assessment Module for managing third-party vendor risk. He also integrated the company’s MDM with Teqtivity to automatically lock lost, stolen, or unreturned devices, cutting down on exposure and manual effort.
- Cost-Effective and Scalable
Unlike other ITAM tools with hidden costs and rigid pricing, Teqtivity offered unlimited asset management without unexpected fees, aligning with the goals of long-term savings.
- Fast, Intuitive Implementation
Implementation took less than a week, without needing external consultants or IT specialists.
“Teqtivity’s customer support is top-notch, the integrations work seamlessly, and it’s so intuitive that new team members can jump in with minimal training. I’ve used it at three companies, and it’s adapted every time.
2024: A Strategic Shift at Flyr Labs
When Bubo joined Flyr Labs, one of his first initiatives was integrating Teqtivity into their IT ecosystem. Having successfully worked with it at Uber and Mollie, Bubo brought a clear vision of how to maximize its value from day one.
This time, Teqtivity plays an even more strategic role, serving not just as an asset tracker but as a foundation for long-term IT planning and operational maturity.
Asset Lifecycle Tracking & Forecasting Future Needs
At Flyr, Bubo uses Teqtivity to manage the entire lifecycle of IT assets, from procurement to retirement, with full visibility and automated reporting.
“Teqtivity has become essential for tracking the entire lifecycle of our IT assets. This has been a game-changer, especially for planning our annual IT budget.”
With access to accurate, real-time data, his team can confidently plan budgets, avoid unnecessary purchases, and manage end-of-life transitions with ease.
Leveraging Past Experience for Smarter Setups
Bubo works closely with his current team to apply learnings from past implementations, optimizing Flyr’s setup from the start. Teqtivity’s out-of-the-box capabilities make it easy to begin reconciling existing data and identifying gaps — a major advantage in environments where asset data has historically been fragmented or unreliable.
Why Teqtivity Remains a ‘Yes’ for Bubo— And Why It’s Essential for Many Others
After implementing Teqtivity at three companies over the span of five years, Bubo doesn’t hesitate when asked why he keeps coming back. For him, Teqtivity isn’t just an ITAM tool; it’s a trusted partner. The features are strong, but what truly sets it apart is the combination of flexibility, dependability, and hands-on support that Bubo knows he can count on.
“After using Teqtivity for more than five years, I’m still waiting to hear a ‘we can’t do that’ from their team. It’s more than a tool—it’s a trusted partner that grows with me. Wherever I go in my career, Teqtivity goes.”
1. Customer Service & Support That Actually Shows Up
One of the most common pain points Bubo has seen with other ITAM tools is a lack of responsiveness. Tickets go unanswered, problems go unresolved, and support stops after onboarding.
With Teqtivity, it’s the opposite.
- Clients receive unlimited support.
- Depending on the size of the team, they’re assigned a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
- Every request is met with urgency, and every team is treated like a priority.
This level of attention isn’t an add-on— it’s a core part of how Teqtivity operates.
2. Evolving Product, Evolving Support
Teqtivity isn’t static. It’s constantly evolving- rolling out new features, integrations, and workflows to meet the ever-changing needs of IT teams. Even before signing on, organizations get a tailored assessment and a chance to see their actual asset data inside the platform, no blind demos, no generic walkthroughs.
And when new challenges come up, Teqtivity’s team is there to:
- Build or refine workflows
- Add integrations
- Guide teams through custom use cases
This ensures the platform grows in lockstep with the businesses using it, a key reason Bubo keeps choosing it again and again.
3. Built for You, Not the Masses
Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, Teqtivity is built to adapt to each organization’s needs. Whether it’s a startup scaling fast or an enterprise refining processes, the experience remains customizable, responsive, and efficient.
That adaptability, paired with ongoing support, is why Teqtivity isn’t just a short-term solution; it’s a long-term asset.
