Add & Scan Barcodes in Your CMMS: Upcoming Mobile App Features
In the next few months, we’re launching a native mobile app for our CMMS. Last week, we introduced the first visible sign of this update: rendered barcodes. When the app is released, you’ll be able to scan a barcode and jump directly to the corresponding asset page. For now, assets with barcode numbers will display a clear, printable image of the barcode within the CMMS.
Add Barcodes to Your CMMS
The simplest way to showcase a barcode is to assign one to an asset. Then, navigate to the Asset Categories tab in the CMMS settings. From there, you can choose the appropriate barcode type for each category—there are several options to fit your workflow.

To access barcode settings directly, go to Settings > CMMS Settings, click any asset category, and a dialog will prompt you to set the barcode type.
In the coming weeks we’ll add batch‑printing capabilities, letting you print labels with all the barcodes you’ve configured. If you have other barcode use cases in mind, share them in the comments below.
Want to See Barcodes in Action?
If you’re new to our CMMS, you can log in to the free test drive to preview rendered barcodes. Simply enter a number in the barcode field of any asset, save, and the barcode image will appear instantly.
