Identify every asset consistently
Use a unique FindVault ID for each laptop, tool, machine, card, key or field kit. Keep serial numbers and invoices private while using the public QR page only for recovery.
QR or NFC?
QR works with any camera and is inexpensive. NFC offers tap interaction on compatible phones and can be paired with the same dynamic profile. Many businesses use both on high-value assets.
Assignment and status
Track available, issued, under repair, missing, recovered and retired states. Record responsible staff, department and timestamps to create accountability.
Recovery outside the office
When an external finder scans a tag, they should see a simple company-approved return route. Personal employee phone numbers should not be printed on assets.
Security controls
Require authenticated staff access, role-based permissions and server-side validation. Keep anti-abuse identifiers restricted, rate-limit public actions and retain only the data needed for operations.
Choose a FindVault recovery tag
Compare products, select privacy mode and activate the tag after delivery. The QR remains the same while owner-controlled profile details can be updated.
