ThingPass - a passport for your items

One label. The whole story of your items.

Create a record, attach its QR label and keep track of who uses your equipment, where it is and what has happened to it.

Included in Outilo Pro. Invited members do not need an Outilo account.

Your equipment, in three simple steps.

  1. Create its record

    A name is enough. Add a photo and useful details whenever you need them.

  2. Attach its QR label

    Download the label, print it and attach it to the item. Its link stays the same.

  3. Keep track

    Scan to view the record, check the item out or return it, or contact its owner.

One scan. The right information.

The same label opens a record tailored to the person scanning it.

Stay in control of your equipment.

  1. Identify every item

    Create its record and print its permanent QR.

  2. See who is using it

    View its holder, current location and activity. You can also check it out yourself.

  3. Handle the unexpected

    Record actual returns, maintenance and the recovery of lost items.

Your private notes, purchases and finder contact details stay visible only to you.

Check out equipment in a few taps.

  1. Sign in with your link

    The owner invites you by email. No Outilo account or password to create.

  2. Scan, then check out the item

    If it is available, choose “Check out this item”. The checkout is recorded in your name.

  3. Return it and confirm the location

    Choose “Return this item”. You can also change its current location or report a problem.

You use the equipment; only the owner manages records, members and settings.

Help it find its way back to its owner.

  1. Scan the label

    The item name appears, with its photo only if the owner has published it.

  2. Choose “I found this item”

    Leave a message and your email or phone number, without creating an account.

  3. The owner is notified

    Only the owner receives your contact details and can get in touch to arrange its return.

The location, holder, references and owner’s contact details stay private.

More about ThingPass - a passport for your items

A digital record for every item

Cameras, computers, instruments, consoles, luggage and tools: create a record, print its QR code and label your equipment. The QR stays the same when the record changes.

Keep track of equipment

See availability, holders and locations. Record checkouts, returns, incidents, losses and recoveries in one timeline. Invite members by email: a magic link gives them access only to ThingPass, without a password or a main Outilo account.

Recover a found item

A person scanning the QR sees the item name and its photo if you publish it. They can send a message and contact details without knowing yours. Read their details in your private workspace and contact them directly.

Included in Outilo Pro

Each Pro account owns one ThingPass workspace. Archived items retain their QR and status. When Pro access ends, records are kept, public contact stays available, and returns and recoveries remain possible.

FAQ

Does editing an item change its QR code?

No. The QR is permanent, including after archiving. A permanently deleted code is reserved and can never be reassigned.

Do members need an Outilo account?

No. Each member receives a magic link giving access only to your ThingPass workspace. It grants no access to other Pro tools.

What can someone who finds an item see?

The name, the photo if published, and a lost notice when applicable. Contact details, locations, holders, serial numbers and history stay private.

Does ThingPass need a separate subscription?

No. ThingPass uses your Outilo Pro access and has no separate billing.
