Organized your way

Name the levels the way your team talks, like studios, departments and crews, and pin gear to floor plan zones.

Floor plans

Mark your territory, not just the row.

Upload a plan for each location, draw zones for rooms and cages, and drop gear where it lives. Every pin knows its zone, who placed it and when.

Scanning

Point a phone at the label. That is the whole fetch.

  2. Lock onThe match happens on the phone, so it works in a basement with no signal.
  3. See the whole storyWho has it, where it lives, what happened last, and what to do next.
