Why use barcodes or QR codes to find assets?
Scanning barcodes or QR codes allows you and your team to quickly locate assets via the SafetyCulture mobile app without manually entering lengthy display names or identification numbers. This significantly reduces the time spent searching through your asset list and helps you easily access your assets to conduct an inspection, create an action, or simply view more details.
If your organization manages multiple assets, you can easily create asset profile QR codes in bulk via the web app andattach the QR codes to your assets sothat your team can scan them when they're on site.
Barcodes or QR codes must contain an asset's unique ID, display name, or asset type to find the relevant assets. We recommend using the SafetyCulture Android mobile app version 24.06 (or higher) or iOS mobile app version 24.08 (or higher) to use this functionality.
Depending on asset access settings, the assets you can view and manage may vary based on your site membership.
