Shelf is an open-source asset management and equipment tracking platform for teams, offering QR code tagging, bookings/reservations, custody tracking, location management, audits, and reporting. It is a full-stack TypeScript web application that can be self-hosted or used via the hosted service.
Use cases
- track IT assets and equipment across locations
- manage equipment bookings and prevent double-bookings
- track who has custody of shared gear
- run physical inventory audits with QR scanning
- replace spreadsheets for asset inventory
- manage equipment rentals and reservations
- track consumables and low-stock supplies
- generate and print QR asset tags
When to choose
- you need open-source, self-hostable asset management with no per-user pricing
- your team shares equipment and needs bookings, custody, and availability tracking
- you want QR-code-based check-in/check-out and mobile scanning workflows
- you manage assets across multiple locations, kits, and teams with role-based access
When to avoid
- you need pure financial/fixed-asset accounting with depreciation schedules
- you need real-time GPS or RFID-based automatic asset tracking
- you want a lightweight CLI or library rather than a full web application
- you require features like audits, SSO, or barcodes without a paid plan on the hosted service
