Adapt fields, workflows, and dashboards without code. Explore 1,000+ app templates and use cases

Built for teams that move shared equipment between people, rooms, sites, or projects.Use it when the asset tracking record and the action around it need to stay connected.Keep the record, evidence, owner, and next action connected from “Create the asset identity and tag” through “Verify condition and receiving party.”

See how the asset record drives daily work

Asset tracking software should show the current holder and location, preserve every handoff, and make overdue, missing, mismatched, or damaged items easy to act on. A map or static list is not enough when people must accept custody and resolve exceptions.

Use the custody dashboard to find overdue returns and location mismatches, then open the affected handoff, confirm who accepted the item, review its evidence, and assign the next action.

Answer where the asset is, who has it, and what changed

Asset tracking is centered on identity, current location, accountable custodian, movement history, and exceptions. It is narrower than full lifecycle management and more operational than a static inventory list.

  1. 01

    Create the asset identity and tag

    Asset ID, tag or serial, class, status, expected location, owner, and searchable attributes.

  2. 02

    Record assignment, checkout, or move

    Previous and new custodian, issued and due dates, purpose, acceptance, condition, and evidence.

  3. 03

    Verify condition and receiving party

    Source, destination, mover, event time, reason, project or site, and the resulting asset status.

  4. 04

    Escalate overdue, missing, or damaged items

    Missing, overdue, misplaced or damaged flag, severity, resolver, target date, recovery, and closeout.

Keep the asset tracking record and each follow-up action in one app

Configure the asset tracking record

  • Add the fields and linked records required to create the asset identity and tag.
  • Set roles, permissions, reminders, and routing when the team needs to record assignment, checkout, or move.
  • Keep comments, attachments, decisions, and timestamps with every exception linked to the asset tracking record.
  • Make this outcome visible in filtered views and dashboards: Actionable missing and overdue queues.

Keep specialist data in the system responsible for it

Jodoo manages the accountability around scans and handoffs. Automatic RFID reads, GPS positions, BLE or UWB location, rugged offline scanning, and device discovery require suitable hardware or specialist services.

Test one real case from create the asset identity and tag through escalate overdue, missing, or damaged items, including a failed integration or incomplete handoff.

Change custody rules when assets start moving differently

Add a new location, borrower type, acceptance check, overdue rule, or recovery queue without rebuilding the tracking system.

Example: require a return photo for field equipment and route overdue items to the site coordinator.Many clearly scoped field, validation, routing, reminder, permission, view, or chart changes can be made in minutes or hours by a trained administrator. Integrations, migration, regulated validation, and enterprise rollout take longer.

Questions about this use case

How does asset tracking software show who has an item now?

Use one unique asset ID or tag, a current location and custodian, and separate movement records for checkout, assignment, transfer, and return. The current record answers who has the item; the movement history explains how it got there.

Can Jodoo scan asset barcodes and QR codes?

Yes. A Jodoo mobile form can scan a barcode or QR code into a configured field, use that value to find the asset, and continue with a checkout, transfer, return, count, inspection, or exception update.

How should missing or disputed assets be handled?

Keep the last recorded custodian and location visible, open an exception with an owner and due date, collect evidence, and record the recovery or correction. Do not overwrite the prior handoff just to make the current register look complete.

Is asset tracking the same as GPS or RFID location tracking?

No. Barcode and QR workflows record deliberate scans and handoffs. GPS, BLE, UWB, and RFID can supply automatic location events but require appropriate devices, readers, connectivity, and specialist services.

What is a useful asset-tracking pilot?

Track one tagged item through checkout, a location change, a disputed or overdue return, condition evidence, corrective action, and final reconciliation. Test the mobile update and the supervisor queue together.
