MSP Field Technicians Lack a Unified Portable Network Discovery Tool

Network technicians doing on-site client work must switch between multiple tools — nmap, ARP scanners, manual commands — to achieve basic network visibility, creating fragmented and inefficient workflows. There is no single lightweight, portable executable that combines device discovery, port scanning, MAC vendor lookup, and device classification. This gap forces field techs to carry and maintain multiple tools for routine tasks performed at every client site.
