Barcode and QR scanning feature
Barcode and QR Code Asset Scanning
Use familiar barcode and QR labels to identify equipment quickly and reduce the typing involved in common tracking workflows.
Part of the AssetControl Cloud platform
What this feature does
Searching by description or serial number slows teams down and creates room for mistakes. Scanning connects the physical label to the correct digital record.
Identify an item by scanning
Use a barcode or QR identifier to reach the intended asset without typing a description or serial number.
Support faster transactions
Use the identified record in checkout, return and audit workflows where speed matters.
Work with practical labels
Generate labels for the process or connect suitable identifiers already used by the organisation.
At the point of work
Scan a label to open the right record during a checkout, return or audit. Staff spend less time searching by description or serial number and can update the item while handling it.
Why it matters
Find the right asset with a scan
Faster identification
Open the intended asset without manually searching a long register.
Quicker transactions
Support efficient check-in, checkout and audit workflows.
Flexible labelling
Generate labels or incorporate suitable existing identifiers into the process.
Day-to-day work
How the daily process changes
Where teams lose time today
Even a well-designed register fails when updating it takes longer than the physical handover. Staff skip searches, select similar-looking records or plan to update the system later, allowing accuracy to deteriorate.
What changes with AssetControl Cloud
The label becomes the bridge between the item and its digital record. Scanning removes several manual steps at the point of issue, return or audit, making correct use of the system easier during busy operational work.
Make the record easy to update while the item is in front of you. Scanning its label helps staff select the right asset and record the handover during a busy shift.
