Iris module
Automate your inventory actions with a single QR code scan
What if moving an asset were as simple as scanning a code? Iris turns a QR code into action: create, move, consume, use, or reserve your assets without a series of clicks. A substantial time saver.
What is an action QR code?
An action QR code is a label that automatically triggers an operation on your inventory as soon as it is scanned: move an asset, consume one, report a use, make a reservation. That is exactly what Hector’s Iris module does.
The difference from a standard QR code? An identification QR simply shows an asset’s record. An Iris code runs the action you assigned to it: you scan, fill in the details if needed, and your inventory updates instantly, with no navigating through the app.
Why use Iris QR codes?
No more repeated clicks
Where an action takes several steps in the app, one scan is enough. Your teams log their actions in seconds, in the field.
Any action, a single label
Create one QR code per action type: creation, movement, consumption, use, reservation. The label carries the action; all you do is scan.
Accessible everywhere
Stick the labels on your shelves, rooms, vehicles or equipment. Your whole team accesses them where the work happens, with no trip back to a workstation.
No expensive hardware
No professional scanner needed: any smartphone camera is enough to trigger an action, quickly and hassle-free.
