How it works

How Setl Property works

Setl gives every asset a controlled digital record containing its custodian, location, project, funding source, condition, verification history, transfers, and exceptions.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Import an existing register or create a record. Generate a QR label tied to the asset identifier, serial number, project, and funding line — a convenient way to open the record from the field.

    Scan

    A team member scans the label with a phone browser. No native mobile application is required for the demonstration.

From label to record

From physical asset to controlled record.

QR labels are a convenient way to open and verify an asset record. Custody, location, and inspection history stay with the equipment.

Capabilities

One controlled record for each asset.

Know who has it, which project or grant it belongs to, where it is, and when it was last verified.

  • Know who has every asset

    See the current custodian and when responsibility last changed.

  • Location verification

    Confirm where equipment is held and flag records due for review.

  • Condition inspection

    Record condition, notes, and supporting evidence on the asset.

  • Assignment and transfer history

    Keep a chronological record of assignments, returns, and transfers.

  • Structured equipment reports

    Export registers, histories, exception lists, and project summaries.

  • QR labels

    A convenient way to open and verify an asset record from the field.

Positioning

Built for equipment accountability—not generic inventory.

Inventory answers how many you have. Accountability answers which item, who holds it, which project or grant it belongs to, when it was verified, and on what evidence.

Spreadsheet-based tracking

Current values overwrite prior information

  • Research and policy institutes
  • Foundations and education nonprofits
  • Workforce-development organizations
  • Small government contractors (optional)
