Inventory That Starts With the Item
A faster way to manage physical inventory without building a complicated system first
TapNota is designed for the moment someone is standing in front of the item, bin, tool, kit, shelf, or asset. The tag becomes the fastest route into the record, while the Portal gives you the larger inventory view.
The TapNota Workflow
From physical item to searchable record
Instead of separating labels, notes, photos, and history into different systems, TapNota keeps them connected to the item itself.
01
Put a tag on what you want to track
Use NFC, QR, or a pre-coded TapNota label on equipment, storage, tools, assets, kits, shelves, or supplies.
02
Open the item record from the tag
Tap NFC or scan QR with a phone to reach the connected Item Page without installing a separate app.
03
Add the information that matters
Save photos, notes, status, quantities, location, activity history, folders, privacy settings, and other details.
04
Manage the bigger picture in the Portal
Search across tagged inventory, review item status, open records, and keep shared inventory organized as it grows.
Your Inventory Control Center
The Portal gives you the big picture without losing the item-level detail
TapNota combines direct tag access with a searchable account dashboard. That means you can work from the physical item when you are in the field, then manage the larger inventory from your phone or computer.
What you can manage from the Portal
Use one dashboard to find, organize, and open the tagged inventory connected to your account.
Search & filter
Find records by names, notes, folder names, status, or tag codes.
Folders
Group inventory by location, team, category, project, customer, or storage area.
Item status
See whether an item is in use, stored, moved, sold, retired, or otherwise changed.
Activity visibility
Keep useful history tied to the record as people update or work with the item.
Direct access
The tag opens the exact item page. No searching through menus before you can update the record.
Account-wide search
When you do not have the item in front of you, search the Portal instead of physically scanning everything.
Built to grow
Use folders, statuses, photos, notes, shared access, and history to keep a larger inventory understandable over time.
Identify with AI
Take a photo and speed up inventory entry
When a bin, kit, shelf, or workspace contains several items, manually typing every object can slow down inventory setup. Identify with AI can analyze a photo and return a useful item list while you are working with the connected record.
Useful for mixed inventory
Photograph parts, tools, supplies, components, kits, or grouped items instead of starting every line from scratch.
Keep AI inside the inventory workflow
Use the result while building the Item Page rather than moving data between unrelated tools.
You still control the record
Edit the AI result, then add the names, notes, quantities, status, and details your operation actually needs.
Identify with AI requires the user to be signed into the TapNota Portal.
Basic QR or NFC access to an Item Page is a separate workflow.
Shared Account Access
Give team members access without sharing the owner's password
Shared Account Access lets invited users sign in with their own TapNota login and work inside the same inventory. It is designed for businesses, teams, families, and other groups that need shared visibility without passing around one account credential.
Separate logins
Each invited member uses their own account credentials instead of sharing the owner's password.
Work from the same inventory
Authorized members can search, open, and update supported inventory records from the shared account.
The owner keeps account control
Shared members do not take over billing, subscription ownership, or member administration.
Shared Account Access limits vary by plan. The Business tier can support
up to 20 additional members.
More Than an Inventory Count
Build a useful record around every item you track
TapNota is built around item identity and history, not just a quantity field. That makes it useful when inventory needs context, condition, location, ownership, notes, or accountability.
Photos & notes
Keep visual documentation, descriptions, quantities, instructions, service information, and item-specific notes together.
Item status
Use status to make it easier to tell what is active, stored, moved, sold, donated, retired, or otherwise changed.
Activity timeline
Keep important updates and item history visible instead of overwriting the context that existed before.
Privacy & PIN
Choose Private, Share, or Public visibility for Item Pages and add optional PIN protection when another layer of control is useful.
Revocable share links
Share a specific Item Page when needed without granting someone access to your entire TapNota account.
QR export & reprint
If a label is damaged, export and reprint the same QR code while keeping the existing digital record intact.
Folders
Group inventory by team, project, location, room, customer, category, job, storage area, or any structure that fits your workflow.
Search
Search item names, notes, folders, and tag codes from the Portal instead of physically checking every labeled item.
No app required
Use TapNota from a phone, tablet, or computer through the web instead of requiring every user to install a dedicated app.
Built for Real-World Inventory
Inventory management software for the things that move, get shared, and need context
TapNota works especially well when the inventory is physical, distributed, stored in bins or kits, shared between people, or difficult to understand from a spreadsheet alone.
Tools & equipment
Track drills, ladders, generators, cases, shop equipment, and shared tools with photos, status, location, and notes.
Backstock & supplies
Label shelves, bins, boxes, parts, consumables, and storage areas so people can find the right inventory faster.
Mobile inventory
Use tags on trucks, trailers, jobsite equipment, field kits, and items that move between locations.
Office & team equipment
Track electronics, shared devices, accessories, demo gear, event equipment, and other assets used by multiple people.
Kits, sets & cases
Document what belongs in a kit, photograph contents, add instructions, and keep history attached to the container or case.
Bins, shelves & storage areas
Know what is inside a container or storage location without reopening everything just to check its contents.
A Different Kind of Inventory Workflow
When the physical item should be the fastest way into the software
TapNota is designed for teams that want the speed of scanning the item itself, while still keeping a searchable software layer behind every tag.
| Workflow | Spreadsheet / static list | TapNota |
|---|---|---|
| Open the exact item record from the physical item | Not built in | NFC or QR direct access |
| Photos, notes, status & item history | Possible, but manually structured | Built into the connected Item Page |
| Search all tagged inventory | Search the file | Search the TapNota Portal |
| AI-assisted identification | Not built in | Identify with AI while signed in |
| Separate logins for shared inventory | Depends on the file platform | Shared Account Access |
| Item privacy & PIN controls | File-level controls | Private, Share, Public + optional PIN |
| Replace a damaged QR without losing the record | Rebuild manually | Export and reprint the same QR |
