Powerful but simple equipment management software! Love it so far!

I have been looking for a modern asset management software for my companies equipment, the usage of QR codes of shelf is very clever, as most of my staff has a smart phone with them at all times. So they can interact with the labels, make work order requests, tag equipment and so on. Another handy thing of working with shelf, is that they have a production workflow for creating asset tags and delivering them to your door. We used this service and produced 1000 asset tags that are unlinked to items. This means that, if new equipment or inventory arrives, we can quickly create its digital version.

Incredible Company

When we first discovered Shelf, we sought something different from your standard asset management software. We needed software that fit our specific preferences, and as soon as we contacted Carlos, he was with us every step of the way and accommodated all our requests. Shelf listens to its users and is getting better every day.
