TL;DR

  • Hudu provides eight core documentation tools: passwords with breach detection and secure sharing, process automation with screen capture, knowledge base with version control, photo management, IPAM for network documentation, rack visualization, website monitoring, and expiration tracking.
  • The screen capture browser extension automatically documents workflows by recording each click, generating process steps or KB articles without breaking technician workflow, and can be saved as company-specific SOPs or global templates for reuse across all clients.
  • Relationship mapping connects documentation elements as parent-child objects, enabling technicians to navigate from passwords to assets, KB articles to contacts, and networks to devices with single-click access to related information.
  • Version history tracking applies across KB articles, assets, and core tools, capturing all changes with user attribution and diff comparison to show exact modifications between any two versions.
  • Expiration management consolidates tracking for website domains, SSL certificates, asset warranties, license renewals, and KB article audits, with configurable alerts sent via email or webhook to prevent lapses in critical renewals.

Password Management and Security

Hudu's password management tool provides centralized credential storage with support for usernames, passwords, OTP codes, and organizational features like folders and tags. The platform includes a Pwned feature that checks passwords against dark web breach databases, helping identify compromised credentials. Users can generate secure passwords using customizable requirements set at the admin level, including length and complexity parameters. The password sharing functionality allows time-limited access with configurable expiration settings, supporting both clipboard copying and email distribution. Relationship mapping enables passwords to be linked as child objects to assets, creating navigable documentation hierarchies that ensure technicians can access related information with a single click.

Process Documentation and Screen Capture

The process management system supports step-by-step SOP creation through manual entry or automated screen capture via browser extension. Screen capture automatically documents each click during a workflow, generating process steps without interrupting the technician's work. Processes can be created as company-specific instances or global templates for standardization across all clients. Task management features include user assignment, due dates, priority levels, completion notes, and the ability to copy completed tasks back to PSA tickets. Onboarding processes can be flagged to automatically appear on company overviews until completion, supporting client onboarding, asset documentation, and new employee workflows.

Knowledge Base and Network Documentation

The knowledge base serves as a searchable repository for articles and technical documentation, featuring a WYSIWYG editor with headers, code blocks, callouts, and automatic table of contents generation. Full version history tracking captures all changes with user attribution and timestamps, with diff comparison showing exact additions and deletions between versions. The IPAM module organizes IP address management through hierarchical structures of VLAN zones, VLANs, and networks, with support for manual entry, integrations with monitoring tools, REST API automation, or Hudu Radar network scanning. Rack management provides visual documentation of physical infrastructure, allowing technicians to map devices to specific rack units with role-based color coding, power draw tracking, and printable layouts for on-site reference.
