GoCodes vs. BarScan

Most asset tracking tools offer one tagging method. GoCodes bundles four: patented QR code labels, real-time GPS trackers, Bluetooth beacons, and RFID/NFC tags. Pick what fits each asset and manage everything from one cloud dashboard. QR labels ship with every account at no extra charge. Stick them on tools, equipment, or inventory and scan with the GoCodes app (4.7 stars, App Store) or any phone browser. Check items in and out in seconds. Your team can be tracking assets within days, not months. Built for trades and industrial companies. Contractors, school districts, manufacturers, and facilities teams use GoCodes to know exactly what they own, where it sits, and who touched it last. Log maintenance schedules, service history, warranties, and equipment utilization. Create custom fields, rename defaults, and control access with role-based permissions. Reports generate in seconds. Free trial available. No credit card, no setup fee, no app download required.

Implementing Bar|Scan for asset inventory tasks can greatly improve accuracy and cut down compliance inventory time by up to 80% after the first year of use. This tool is especially advantageous for employees who work with personal computers and peripherals, as it boosts usage and allows for better maintenance and technical assistance by helping to identify models and serial numbers prior to service calls or help desk interactions. It also simplifies warranty and repair documentation while acting as a theft deterrent by linking assets to specific departments or individuals. Furthermore, when auditors require tighter asset oversight or when regulatory compliance is vital, using a system like Bar|Scan is crucial for adhering to the Unique Identification mandate (UID) from the Department of Defense, along with compliance standards like GASB 34, Sarbanes-Oxley, and ISO certification. In addition, Bar|Scan’s Work Order Module is designed to handle requests for equipment and furniture efficiently, allowing users to create, track, and automatically update the status of each request, thus enhancing the overall asset management process. This all-encompassing strategy not only guarantees compliance but also promotes a more systematic and responsible approach to asset management, ultimately leading to improved organizational effectiveness.
