What is Barcode Tracking?
About Barcode Tracking
Barcode Tracking is a smart, easy-to-use barcode and NFC tracking system that helps businesses track and manage inventory, assets, and valuable items with complete accuracy. Available as a cloud or on-premises solution, it allows you to monitor everything from equipment, tools, IT assets, and files to medical records, spare parts, and sensitive items.
With Barcode Tracking software, any item that can be labeled with a barcode or NFC tag can be tracked in real time — reducing losses, preventing misplacement, and improving operational efficiency. The system is quick to deploy, cost-effective, and requires no expensive hardware. Use standard barcode scanners or the Barcode Tracking mobile app to scan, check in and out, transfer assets, and view item locations instantly.
From vault management to workflow automation - our comprehensive barcode tracking system provides complete visibility and control over physical documents and assets through their entire lifecycle. Secure storage, approval workflows, manufacturing processes, and complete audit trails in one powerful platform.
Gain full visibility, improve accuracy, and stay in control of your assets — no matter the size of your operation.

From healthcare to government, see how organizations are using Barcode Tracking
Real-time Visibility into Documents
Government entities manage vast quantities of physical documents critical to public service delivery, legal proceedings, and regulatory compliance. Barcode tracking establishes real-time visibility into document location, custody, and movement history.
- Document tracking
- Identity documents
- Legal files
- Procurement assets
- Archives
- Asset tracking
End-to-end traceability
Healthcare facilities face critical challenges in managing pharmaceutical logistics, medical supplies, and patient records. Barcode technology enables end-to-end traceability that improves patient safety and operational efficiency.
- Track from central stores to patient dispensing
- Automated expiry date alerts
- First-expiry-first-out protocols
- Locate files in seconds, not hours
- Track movements between departments
- Support hybrid paper/electronic workflows
Verifiable chain-of-custody
Law firms and financial institutions require rigorous security controls, precise tracking, and comprehensive auditability for sensitive documents. Barcode systems establish verifiable chain-of-custody and support regulatory compliance.
- Chain of Custody
- Immutable Audit Trails
- Role-Based Access
- Vault Operations
- Retention Management
- Regulatory Compliance
Maintain Inventory Accuracy
Logistics providers and warehouse operators use barcode systems to achieve real-time visibility, reduce manual errors, and maintain inventory accuracy above 98% in properly managed operations.
- Inbound/Outbound tracking
- Warehouse Inventory
- Document Storage
- Location Tracking
- Mobile App
Data-driven Production
Manufacturing operations use barcode technology to track Work-In-Progress (WIP), establish complete traceability, and enable data-driven production management. The result is measurable improvements in cycle times, quality, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

FAQ
What can I track?
You can track any item with a barcode or NFC whenever it is scanned. This lets you know the exact location and movement of anything valuable to your organisation. You can monitor Work-in-Progress, AV and IT equipment, parts, file folders, medical charts, tax records, evidence, medical tools, devices, and all types of inventory — keeping your operations organised and under control.
How does it work?
When you attach barcodes or NFC tags to your items, you can easily scan them with a scanner or smartphone to track their movement. You can check items in to a location or check them out to a person, just like borrowing a book from a library. You can also scan items during delivery or at each stage of a Work-in-Progress. All of this can be done using a scanner connected to your PC or directly from your mobile device.
How do I find my items?
Barcode Tracking Software features a powerful, web-based search engine accessible from any browser or smartphone, including Android and iOS devices. Every transaction is automatically recorded with the user, timestamp, and optional GPS location. When GPS tracking is enabled, the system generates detailed reports showing the current location and full movement history of any item, including those in Work-In-Progress, giving you complete visibility and accountability across your operations.
Is there an audit?
As with every tracking system, all transactions are audited. Barcode Tracking takes it a step further, auditing every change to all data in the system. For example, the creation, change, and deletion of any item in the system is reflected in the system audit. Audit reports are available to determine not just what is, but how it got that way.
