"Scannable is the best way to keep track of any items that need calibration or inspection and that are life-sustaining.

The support from the Scannable team and compliance with industry regulations—that's what matters."
Marco Holgado
Gear Manager, Rope Partner

The management is so much slicker than what we've ever experienced before.

I can open a piece of kit, scan it, and it'll tell me exactly where it is: if it's at British Steel or if it's at the chemical plant or if it's at our place. It's just made equipment management so much easier. And the health and safety team love it."

"Amazing tool for work at height gear tracking!

Scannable is such a great app! As an arborist I hate paper work. All the time I would take entering an insane about information to correctly track and inspect me equipment, is all drastically reduced with the scannable’s super clever database. Scannable is light years shared of any other company trying to solve a similar problem."

FAQs

How much does Scannable cost?
Scannable is free to get started, with a 30 day trial. After that pricing starts at $1 per item per year, purchased in tiers of 100 items. For inventories over 1,000 items, custom pricing is available.
Is there a free trial of Scannable?

Yes. Scannable is free for up to 30 days — no credit card required.

How quickly can we get set up with Scannable?

Most teams are up and running within a week. Because Scannable's database includes equipment from over 280 manufacturers, you rarely need to enter product details manually; most of your gear will already be there.

Does Scannable support IRATA compliance requirements?

Yes. Scannable is built to support the equipment management and inspection record-keeping requirements set out by IRATA. For each item, you can record all the details IRATA requires — manufacturer, model, date of purchase, date of first use, expiry date, serial number, safe working load, and compliance documents such as declarations of conformity. Inspection frequencies can be set for both Thorough and Interim Inspections, with next due dates calculated automatically. Inspection results, notes, photos, and PDFs are stored against each item and accessible at any time.

Our team works across multiple sites and vehicles – can Scannable handle this?

Yes. You can organise your inventory using Folders, which mirror your real-world structure — create a folder for each site, vehicle, or kit bag, and assign equipment to the relevant folder. Items can be moved between folders as equipment is moved from job to job, and you can see at a glance what's where. Your whole team works within the same account, so there's one live view of all equipment across all locations.

We already track our equipment in spreadsheets. Why switch?

Spreadsheets are a good start, but they can't notify you when an inspection is due, flag equipment that's no longer safe to use, generate a signed Certificate of Thorough Examination, or let your team record inspections from their phone on site. With Scannable, your inventory is always up to date, inspection records are attached directly to each item, and compliance reports are a few taps away. Most customers find the time saved on admin pays for itself quickly.

Will the team actually use it on site?

The mobile app is designed to be used in the field and works on any iOS or Android phone — no special hardware needed. Scanning a piece of equipment, recording an inspection result, or assigning gear to a team member takes seconds. For equipment with NFC tags, it's as quick as tapping your phone against the item. Teams that were previously resistant to digital tools tend to come around once they see how much faster it is than paperwork.

Ready to leave spreadsheets behind?

Scannable gives you an equipment management system that reduces data entry, saves time, and ensures every piece of equipment is tracked and accounted for.
