GearChain Overview: Inventory and Asset Tracking

Updated · GearChain Team

Get a quick overview of GearChain and learn how the platform helps you track inventory, assets, barcodes, and inventory activity from web and mobile devices.


GearChain combines custom tracking forms, barcode scanning, shared records, and spreadsheet connections. A form defines the information you want to track; the item records hold the inventory or asset details.

Steps

  1. Choose whether your first workflow tracks quantities, individual assets, or attendance.
  2. Create a form with only the fields your team needs for that workflow.
  3. Add records using manual entry, barcode scanning, or a spreadsheet import.
  4. Record a sample update and check the record history.
  5. Connect a spreadsheet and share the form with the people responsible for updates.

Use the Help Center sections for scanning, spreadsheets, and permissions when configuring each part of the workflow.
