Home Asset Management System

There is no doubt that organizing things is much easier once they are digital. If you’re like most of us who work in the digital world, there’s a vast chasm between the databased, orderly digital work environment and the disorderly analog or real world environment. If you’re looking to get some organization into the home or office, the IntelliScanner Express bundle might be just what you’re seeking. It’s an interesting illustration of how bar-code scanning is beginning its move into the mass market to offer productivity gains in the home.

Intelli Innovations offers a USB or Bluetooth wireless barcode reader with software to offer an intelligent organisational tool for getting your wine collection in order, cataloguing your media (books, movies, Cds, DVDs etc) collection, keeping track of all those books you lend to people and never can find again, or well , just about anything. It’s a low cost asset management system that can be applied to almost any collection of goods for personal, productivity, taxation or insurance purposes.

There’s specialist software available with the Intelliscanner for media collection organization. Just scan the retail barcode to automatically retrieve detailed item information and artwork on your desktop in the same way that Apple’s iTunes software goes on-line to recognise all those obscure CDs automatically. Comprehensive database software included in the box makes it easy to sort, organise, and share information about your media.

Intelliscanner’s wine collector works pretty much the same way - by scanning each bottle's retail bar code, the Wine Collector software allows users to automatically catalogue an entire wine collection with ease. Wine Collector automatically enters the name, varietal, winery, country, type, color, region, and more in seconds, and allows additional opportunities for tracking maturity, ratings, tasting notes and much more.

The Home Assets package works with the scanner in the same way to enable homeowners to maintain an inventory of all valuable items within the home. Home Assets not only creates an assets database, but also generates reports suitable for calculating depreciation and market value. The application also has the capability to support photos for your valuables (e.g., art, jewelry, rare books) that document item condition or other features.
