"If you're still relying on spreadsheets or memory, you're making things harder than they need to be. A system like Shelf keeps everything organized, visible, and easy to manage."

— Jacky, Office & Events Coordinator, Arellano Associates

Teams use Shelf to replace spreadsheets, Cheqroom, and per-seat inventory tools with one QR-driven workspace for everything physical — equipment, tools, laptops, cameras, props, lab gear, books.

• QR-labelled assets — generate, print, and scan. Or re-use barcodes from your previous system.
• Bookings & calendar — reserve gear in advance, see availability at a glance, end double-bookings.
• Custody — know exactly who has what, right now.
• Kits — bundle assets (camera body + lenses + tripod) and check them out as one unit.
• Audits — run physical inventory checks, assign auditors, scan with any phone, generate PDF receipts.
• Locations — hierarchical up to twelve levels deep (campus → building → floor → room → shelf).
• Custom fields — seven types, unlimited on paid plans.
• SSO — Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, SAML. Tiered per-seat or unlimited.
• Granular roles — Owner, Admin, Self Service, Base, across thirty-plus entities.
• Works from any phone — modern web + PWA. No app install required to scan.
