NFC-based asset management: How tap-to-track makes compliance simple

Choosing the right asset tracking system isn’t about features on a spec sheet - it’s about keeping your people safe and your audits stress-free.

In high-risk industries, scanning technology can speed up your asset tracking and equipment management processes - especially at scale. The right software lets you use both 2D barcodes, UHF RFID and NFC tags to manage equipment. Here's why.

For safety teams working in tough conditions - construction, rope access, emergency response - Scannable’s software and NFC technology (retrofit tags and Smart PPE™) have become the new safety standard when it comes to managing equipment and assets.

Learn how to store inspection records for compliance with regulations like LOLER & OSHA using a digital equipment and compliance management system like Scannable.

How do you know which software is right for your team? Let’s break down the difference between inventory tracking software and asset management software, and where a purpose-built solution for safety gear fits in.

Many safety managers seek to track inventory using 2D codes - like barcodes or QR codes - when managing safety-critical equipment, because they are common on equipment straight from the manufacturer. But while they help, they’re not always the best tool for long-term compliance management.

Spreadsheets, paper checklists, and manual filing systems are prone to errors. By moving inspection records, compliance checklists, and audit trails into one compliance management platform, you can stay organised, audit-ready, and safe.

Learn how to manage compliance inspections digitally with LOLER checklists, automated workflows, and audit trails using Scannable.

Not all equipment management platforms are built the same. Generic stock-tracking tools may help count items, but they rarely support the unique needs of industries where safety comes first. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about inventory management software and tracking systems - and why safety teams need a purpose-built solution.
