Asset Giant

Moving Assets between Locations via Scan

Quickly move one or more items to a new job site, vehicle, or user using the Check In / Out scanner workflow.

The Check In workflow is designed for speed. Use this when you are moving a set of equipment from your main storage to a specific project site or vehicle, so the system always knows where each item is.

Setting the Destination

  • Open the QR Scanner and tap Check In.
  • The system will ask where the items are being checked in.
  • Set the Destination: Either scan the QR code of the target location (or vehicle) or select it from the dropdown menu.
  • Tap Start Check-In to begin. The camera will stay open, ready for you to scan.

Batch Scanning

With the destination set, you can now scan your assets rapidly:

  • Point the camera at an asset’s QR code.
  • As soon as it’s recognised, the item is added straight to the session list below the camera — there’s no need to confirm each one, so you can keep scanning without pausing.
  • Each scanned item shows its name with a Remove button, so you can take an item back out of the batch if you scan something by mistake.

Completing the Session

When you have finished, tap Finish Check-In. A summary message will confirm exactly how many items were checked in to the destination.

What this changes: Checking an item in updates its Location to the destination you chose. The item’s status and assigned user are left exactly as they were — Asset Giant keeps a record of who moved what and when in each asset’s Activity History instead.

Tip — Check Out: If you scan a single asset on its own (without setting a destination first), the result card also offers a Check Out button. Checking out simply clears the asset’s location, marking it as having left that place. As with Check In, this never changes the asset’s status.
