Workshops, construction & garages
Drills, generators, scaffolding, plant: ItemScale tracks the tools of a workshop or a construction firm when they leave the depot, and knows when they are due back.
The situation
A workshop's tools do not disappear all at once: they go missing one piece at a time. An angle grinder leaves for a site with Monday's crew, comes back with Thursday's, or does not come back. The generator has been at a client's for three weeks, and nobody remembers which one. When a machine breaks down, the real question is not what the repair costs: it is how long it had been since it was last serviced.
What changes
A departure for a site is recorded: who is taking what, to which site, on what date. The transfer is approved, not merely endured — and the asset stays in the company's register, wherever it happens to be.
Every machine carries its service due dates. The alert comes before the breakdown, not after — and the record keeps a trace of each intervention, with its duration and its cost.
The QR code opens from any phone, with no application to install. For a poorly covered site, the Business plan lets you install ItemScale on your own server: reading and entry continue offline, and sync when the network returns.
A concrete case
Take a fit-out firm, one depot and four open sites. The site foreman scans the label of the generator he is loading: the transfer is recorded, and the depot knows the machine has left. Three weeks later, the oil change falls due. The mechanic can see which site it is on — he does not have to ring four people to find out.

The label is a 6 × 3 cm format that you print yourself: A4 adhesive paper for indoor equipment, a thermal printer or a hard-wearing medium for what lives outside. ItemScale provides the content of the label; you choose the material.
Yes. The technician role scans, reads the record, reports the fault and enters the duration and cost of their intervention. It touches neither accounts nor billing.
A loan is recorded like an assignment, with its holder and its expected return date. The equipment stays in the register: you know what has gone out, to whom, and since when.
