How To: QR Code Tracking

Published on January 4, 2023 • 3 min read

QR codes are familiar to most people these days. Codes such as these can be found almost everywhere such as on our phones, in restaurants, on television and in countless other places. But did you know that here at itemit, we offer you the chance to track your assets using QR codes? 

This article shows you how you can use QR codes and what they can help you to achieve.

How QR codes Work

The words “QR code” are short for “Quick response” code and a code such as this consists of a special type of barcode. This barcode uses alpha-numberic information that takes you to a specific website, text, or even allows you to pay a bill. The QR codes are created by a generator that produces a mix of black and white pixels or patterns, every single unit of black or white represents a specific function or data. When this data is present in a QR code it can be scanned and its information harvested. 

QR codes can be used to track your fixed and non-fixed assets. In fact, QR code tracking has become hugely popular thanks to its ease of use and reliability. When a QR code is scanned, itemit’s software will show any relevant information that has been created in the asset’s digital profile. With the right information added, it is possible to track your assets, reduce incidences of downtime, and boost productivity.

How Your Business Can Make Use Of QR Code Tracking

Did you know that most businesses can benefit from QR code tracking? When you use QR codes to help you to track your assets your business is likely to benefit in a wide variety of ways. For example, you could use QR codes to help you to track:

• Every asset’s location
• Who the current user of the asset is
• Who the previous users of the asset were
• The asset’s warranty and insurance information
• The current estimated value of each asset 
• Where each asset was purchased and for what price
• The asset’s maintenance schedule 
• A photograph of the asset
• Notes left by the last user
• Instruction manuals and other 
• And so much more

Thanks to the way that itemit’s QR codes and tracking software work, you can track many different aspects of each asset. In fact, you can track as many aspects as you wish. It’s this that helps to make our software hugely convenient and time saving.
