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

A few attempts have been made by manufacturers and tech companies to address the safety and compliance woes that the arb and rope access industry face, all of which have missed the mark in one way or another. We share what we’ve learnt from listening to the industry, and how we’re using this to make Scannable different.

Have you ever looked at that little grey mark on Petzl gear and wondered what it does, or if there’s a better way than using a spreadsheet to track your gear?

Find out a bit more about Scannable, the data problem that the vertical world is facing, where this awesome journey began, and where we're heading.

Maintaining traceability from an original spool of rope to each cut length of rope or wire is an enormous challenge in our industry. We explore why it's so tough, and what can be done about it.
