Questions about inventory QR codes

What can I do with it?

Tag your things, then scan a tag to see what it is, where it lives and who has it. Check it out to a name, keep counts that warn when a bin runs low, share one team link, and print tag sheets yourself.

Does my team need an app or an account?

No. The camera on their phone opens the tag. You send your team one link to open on their phones, and you can turn it off any time.

Can I use it for IT asset tags?

Yes. An asset tag QR code on a laptop works like a label on a bin, and the tag keeps who has it. These are printed labels, not metal or tamper-evident tags. For tools, use weatherproof label sheets or tape over the label.

QR code or barcode for inventory?

A barcode is a number your software has to look up. In a QR code inventory system like iQR, the code opens the item itself, with where it lives and who has it, on the phone that scanned it. No scanner gun.

Does it keep count?

Yes, for bins and shelves of things you use up: tap minus or plus on the bin’s page, and pick the number that means “running low”.

How do I start?

Tap the button at the top, name your inventory and your first tags, and print them. You can try it before you sign up.
