Creating an extended integration for Kandji assets and software

Kandji is an Apple device management solution. Integrate Kandji Asset Load (with Software) with Oomnitza to fetch in-depth details about each device within a Kandji tenant, as well as the software installed on them. Information about each device such as the device properties, last check-in timestamp, and installed software is synced with Oomnitza. 

This integration uses the Kandji List Devices API and the Get Device Apps API to retrieve Kandji devices and software. For iPhone and iPad, the preinstalled Apple apps are not reported.
