      NFC Tag Support – Beta

      NFC tags offer another way to scan materials, giving you more flexibility, especially in areas where barcodes aren’t practical. Plus, they can store more data for better tracking and organization.

      • Write the material data directly to the NFC tag.
      • Scan NFC tags to generate a list of materials for bulk actions.
      • Support for materials and tools.

      • Create and add custom units as needed.
      • Edit existing units for greater accuracy.
