Why QR Inventory A Smart Solution For Equipment Tracking And Management

Mobile-First Design

QR Inventory software is built around the daily tasks of field teams, making scanning, updating status, and locating tools and equipment fast and straightforward. Mobile app runs natively on Android and iOS, and is designed for quick actions in the field. Minimal typing, clear navigation, pre-filled data, hint lists and scannable checklists help technicians record updates fast, staying focused on the job rather than on the software.

Automated Equipment Monitoring With BLE / IoT

For operations that need continuous visibility, QR Inventory software supports BLE tags and stationary IoT gateways that detect asset presence automatically. IoT gateways recognize when equipment enters or leaves job sites, shops, or service vehicles, and send updates to a centralized cloud system, eliminating manual scans. IoT system creates real-time asset visibility without extra work from the field team.

Customizable Workflows And Data Fields

Every company tracks equipment a little differently. QR Inventory software lets companies define actions (check out, transfer, maintenance, inspection, issue report), what information should be collected, and workflow steps. Businesses can easily adapt QR Inventory software to match their exact process, with no technical knowledge or coding.

Mobile Equipment Maintenance Forms And Custom Alerts

Maintenance logs, inspections, and issue reports are completed on mobile devices using digital forms tailored to specific equipment.
