How the Scanlily Inventory System helps track boxes and items for Moving and Storage


Preparing to inventory items for a move

Penny is starting on a daunting task that many of us can relate to: downsizing. Packing up ALL of her belongings to move into a much smaller living situation, from her Roanoke, Virginia home, to take care of an elderly family member. 


Penny needs to organize a lot of items in a small amount of time, which isn’t ideal but a common issue many of us renters and homeowners run into. In her garage, she has several boxes, bags, and totes full of items to take to a storage unit. Kid’s stuff, holiday decor, clothing, furniture–you name it!


It might be easy to consider organizing the old fashioned way: taping on labels, moving boxes around, and hoping you remember where you put everything. But honestly, do we ever really remember what’s in each box once we put it away in storage? Typically not. We find ourselves rummaging through totes and boxes, sweating and exhausted, all to find one article of clothing or a toy. This had us, and Penny, thinking…


There has to be a better way to keep track!


Enter Scanlily. A mobile app and QR code inventory system used across many industries for a variety of reasons, perfect for situations similar to Penny’s. Our app and desktop application becomes the perfect companion for organization tasks, from big moves or placing items into a storage unit to simply keeping track of things around the house, Scanlily has you covered!



The Scanlily app and a label


Simply open the app, scan a QR sticker, and take a photo of the item, container, or piece of furniture that you want to catalog. Our built-in AI tools identify the item and give it a detailed description that you can edit at any time. Want to add your own title and description? You can do that too!


Once you’ve scanned the code, taken a photo of the item, and given it a description; place the QR code sticker on your item and file it away for storage! It’s that simple. You can even catalog each item’s exact location for each access later on.


No more frustrating hours spent finding one item. With Scanlily, you have a record at your fingertips anywhere in the world. You can share the information with others, sort through everything, and find items fast when you need them.


Consider the endless possibilities of Scanlily. Even if you’re not ready to move right now, our technology is perfect to organize tools, garages, kid’s toys, and so much more. Easy-to-use and extremely customizable, Scanlily is a great choice.
