Using itemit
itemit is the easiest asset tracking software for teams who've outgrown spreadsheets. It shows you what you own, where it is and who has it. Tag assets with QR codes, barcodes or RFID and scan them with the itemit app. You can also check equipment in and out, book it ahead, set service reminders and run audits.
Organisations of every size, in every sector. IT teams track laptops and devices. Construction firms track tools and plant. Production companies track camera and AV kit. Schools, universities and hospitals track shared and high-value equipment. See use cases

Yes, with itemit GPS trackers, which show live location on a map. QR and RFID tags work differently. They record where an asset was last scanned. Fixed RFID readers update locations automatically as tagged assets pass. See GPS tracking
You can also assign assets to locations manually.
You can add assets to itemit using either the app or web portal. Or alternatively any existing data you have can be imported into the system using a CSV file. Watch how to import assets.
Adding assets via the app is easy, simply login and scan a QR tag to get started. Alternatively, you can manually add assets by selecting ‘add item’ on either the web portal or mobile app.
Of course! You can import your existing data into itemit using a CSV file, and you can export all data into an excel file or PDF report, at any time.
Adding users to itemit is super easy, head over to the users tab in your workspace and select ‘add users’. Here you can enter the user’s email address, select their permissions and invite them! The user will receive an email invitation to join your workspace.
You can also use Azure Active Directory to manage your users.
Users are those who have access to itemit as they are given a login.
Contacts, on the other hand, do not have access to itemit and are not associated with a login/email address. A contact could be an employee, a customer, a project, a location… anything you like!

Yes you can. itemit features are designed to allow for easy asset maintenance and issue tracking. Our reminders feature is the perfect place to record regular tests, maintenance due dates and more. Reminders ensure users receive emails and reminder notifications for up and coming important dates. Watch our video to find out more about the itemit reminders feature.
You can also record and report issues against an asset using our issues reporting feature which produces tickets and email notifications when repairs are needed. Check out our issues feature here.
