How To Track Your Equipment with itemit

itemit is a modern alternative to traditional asset tracking tools. Say goodbye to out-of-date and time-consuming spreadsheets. The itemit asset tracking system comprises an iOS and Android app, so your team on the ground have instant access to the information they need and a web portal for those back in the office to run advanced asset management reporting. To track your equipment using itemit, follow these quick guides:

If you’ve already added an asset you wish to tag to your online register then follow these steps using your mobile device…

  1. Open up the itemit mobile application.
  2. Find the asset by tapping the search button or press ‘see all’ to view a list of your assets.
  3. In your asset register, you’ll be able to see a list of tagged and untagged assets, as well assets that have been ‘seen today’ and ‘not seen today’.
  4. When you have found the asset you’re looking for, tap on it to open up its asset profile. Inside the asset profile you can view all the information associated with the asset, including issues, reminders, locations, tags, attachments and related items.
  5. To add a tag to the asset profile, open up the ‘tags’ section and tap the ‘add’ button.
  6. After that your camera will open, simply hold your phone over the tag to scan it.
  7. When you see the confirmation window pop up, tap ‘OK’.

If you haven’t yet added an asset, follow these steps using your mobile device…

  1. Open up the itemit mobile application.
  2. Tap on the ‘scan’ button.
  3. After that your camera will open, simply hold your over the tag to scan it.
  4. When prompted, tap on ‘create new item’. This allows you to create a new item in your online asset register that is automatically tagged.

Now that your item has been tagged and registered you can quickly identify it. If you have a tagged asset physically in front of you and want to view its profile simply scan the tag from the itemit app and you will be automatically taken to its online profile. Here, you can view and edit the asset’s properties and information. And since you scanned the asset, you’ll notice that the asset’s location has been automatically updated. This happens every time someone scans an asset’s tag.
