A QR code-based asset tracking system that helps organizations monitor and manage their valuable assets with ease.
AssetTracker is a comprehensive asset tracking and inventory management system designed to help organizations easily track and manage their valuable assets. The solution combines a web interface for administrative functions and reporting with a mobile application for QR code scanning and on-the-go asset management.
Each asset is assigned a unique QR code, allowing for quick identification and access to detailed information. This system is particularly valuable for organizations with large inventories that need to maintain accurate records and track asset movements, conditions, and depreciation over time.
Our client, based in India, provides industrial tools and materials on a contract basis to other industries. They faced several challenges in managing their vast inventory:
We developed a comprehensive asset tracking system with the following key features:
A centralized system that allows organization-wide asset tracking with role-based access control, ensuring that different teams can manage their respective assets efficiently.
A robust mechanism for checking assets in and out to different locations while maintaining a complete history of movements, allowing for full traceability of every asset.
Automatic generation of unique QR codes and steel codes for each asset, with downloadable PDFs for printing and attaching to physical assets for easy identification.
A cross-platform React Native mobile application that allows users to scan QR codes for quick asset identification, updates, and audit operations in the field.
Comprehensive auditing tools in the mobile app enabling both manual entry and QR code scanning, with detailed audit logs and reporting capabilities.
Three different methods for calculating asset depreciation, providing flexibility to match accounting requirements and generate accurate financial reports.
Functionality to assign assets to departments or individuals and track ownership changes, including complete record-keeping for asset sales or disposals.
AssetTracker was implemented as a dual-platform solution, combining a web application with a mobile app:
The project utilized a dual-architecture approach with a Rails-based web application for administrative functions and a React Native mobile application for field operations. This combination provided the perfect balance between robust backend processing and flexible mobile functionality.
The system was deployed on AWS for reliability and scalability, with GitHub SVN handling version control for both the web and mobile applications, ensuring consistent development and deployment workflows.
