The building, opened up
Every building is a storeroom. Just without the shelves.
In short
Facilities management software manages everything physical in building operations: spare parts, consumables, tools, furnishings and assets that need regular inspection. With Scanwiz, every part gets a QR code, a place in the building and a history – your team books withdrawals, inspections and handovers on site in the app.

How Scanwiz structures your portfolio
The CAFM gap
Your CAFM knows the room. Scanwiz knows what’s inside.
CAFM systems plan space, contracts and tickets. What often ends up in Excel: the storeroom, the spare parts in the mechanical room, the ladder in the service van, the key the electrician still has. That is exactly what Scanwiz is built for as facility management software – with or without a CAFM alongside.
Typically in CAFM
- Space & room data
- Contracts & vendors
- Tickets & work orders
- Costs & service charges
With Scanwiz, right at the asset
- Materials & spare parts with minimum stock
- Assets & equipment with location
- Inspections & rounds with proof
- Handovers with digital signature
- Booking in the basement – even offline
No CAFM in place? For building maintenance firms and small FM teams, Scanwiz is often enough on its own – no rollout project.
Already have a CAFM? Scanwiz complements it: data via Excel import and export, REST API on the Business plan.
In the building
Everything lying around in a building.
From bag filters to the master key: in Scanwiz, every category gets the logic it needs – stock, location, due date or handover.
Spare parts & consumables
Never go up on the roof without filters again.
Minimum stock per item and location. If stock drops below it, the part goes on the order list – sorted by supplier.
See inventory management →Compliance assets
Inspection dates that flag themselves.
Fire extinguishers, ladders, smoke detectors, electrical equipment: set the interval, get reminded in time, inspect with a checklist. The proof lands in the asset’s logbook.
Maintenance & inspections →Tools & equipment
Who has the hammer drill?
Every device with its location and owner – in the store, in the service van or with a colleague at another building.
Tool management →Keys & badges
Key handover with signature.
Track keys and badges as equipment: handover on the phone, signature on the screen, receipt on the item. Who had it last is never a question again.
Handover form →Furnishings & furniture
Assets per room, stocktake by scan.
Office chairs, furniture, devices: every item with its room and asset number. The stocktake becomes a walk-round with your phone – several people at once.
Asset management →Rounds & defects
Scan the QR, report the defect. Ten seconds.
Recurring rounds and walk-throughs run as tasks – even without an asset. Anyone can report defects right on the spot, with a photo.
Create QR labels →A day in the building
07:10 to 16:30. A maintenance tech’s day, fully scanned.
Click through the day. Every step is a scan – no paper notes, no catching up in the evening.
The difference
No more shouted requests, paper slips and Excel deadlines.
- 01Spare parts are spread across three buildings. Any filters left? Time to start phoning around.Stock per building and location on your phone – including minimum stock.
- 02Inspection dates live in an Excel list that only one person maintains – until they go on vacation.Due dates notify the right person themselves, in good time.
- 03The master key is gone. Who had it last? Nobody knows for sure.Every handover with signature and timestamp – recorded on the key.
- 04No signal in the basement. So, paper – and typing it all up in the evening.Offline mode: book in the mechanical room, sync upstairs.
- 05Defects arrive as photos in the group chat and get lost there.Scan the QR on the spot, report the defect with a photo – straight into the logbook.

Customer quotes
What customers say about inventory management with Scanwiz.
4.9 out of 5 stars from over 120 verified customer reviews.
“Scanwiz has noticeably simplified how we manage consumables and PPE. With barcode scanning, we record goods receipts and issues in seconds and always have a clear overview of stock levels and storage locations. The simple stocktake is especially helpful because it works during ongoing operations without bringing everything to a halt. The system runs stably and reliably—and we save a noticeable amount of time every month on documentation and reordering. A clear recommendation for trades and industry that want to keep their materials inventory under control.”
Stefan KapseLaumann Carpentry & Roofing
“We’ve noticeably professionalized our materials management in maintenance and made it significantly more transparent. The clean mapping of variants (e.g., sizes, versions, and standards for PPE, as well as dimensions for C-parts) in particular reduces mix-ups and ensures reliable traceability in day-to-day work. With continuous inventory tracking, we’ve shortened search times and made material flows easier to plan. Support is also fast and pragmatic overall—a real relief for the entire team.”
Moritz WinterbachWinterbach Engineering
“Since introducing Scanwiz, we’ve had materials management in our operation much better under control: stock levels are always traceable, issues and goods receipts are properly documented, and the analyses help us with replenishment and deployment planning. In day-to-day work, this saves noticeable time, reduces back-and-forth between the warehouse, job site, and workshop, and makes processes more reliable for the whole team.”

Frequently asked questions
Facilities management software – answered briefly.
What is facilities management software?
Facilities management software – often called facility management software – supports the day-to-day running of buildings. Large CAFM systems cover space, contracts and tickets. Scanwiz focuses on the physical side: spare parts, consumables, tools, assets, keys and equipment that needs regular inspection – recorded by QR code and booked on site in the app.
Is Scanwiz a CAFM system?
No – and that is deliberate. Scanwiz does not replace room data, contract management or service charge billing. It takes care of materials, assets, inspections and handovers. Without a CAFM, that is enough for many building maintenance firms and small FM teams; alongside a CAFM, Scanwiz complements it via Excel import and export or the REST API on the Business plan.
Who is Scanwiz for in facility management?
For building maintenance and janitorial services, FM service providers, property managers, schools and municipalities, and engineering teams in hospitals, hotels and companies – wherever materials, tools, keys and inspection-relevant equipment are spread across several buildings and a team works with them on site.
Can I manage multiple buildings and sites?
Yes. In facilities management, every building, mechanical room and service van becomes a storage location – locations and users are unlimited on every plan. The structure follows your daily work: building, area, location, item. Transfers between buildings are booked by scan, so you can always see what is where.
Does the app work in a basement with no signal?
Yes. The Scanwiz app for iOS and Android has an offline mode: you scan and book in the mechanical room or the parking garage, and the data is transferred as soon as you have a connection again. Scanning works with the phone camera or with USB or Bluetooth handheld scanners. More on the barcode scanner page.
How do I manage keys with Scanwiz?
Key management is a classic facilities management task: you create keys and badges as equipment. Every time one is issued, a handover receipt with a digital signature on the screen is created – so it is always clear who has had which key since when, and the full history stays with the key. More on the handover form page.
Which inspections and maintenance tasks can I schedule?
Anything that recurs: fire extinguishers, ladders, electrical equipment, ventilation filters – and also rounds and walk-throughs with no asset at all. The interval runs by calendar or meter reading, the person responsible is reminded in time, the inspection follows a checklist, and the report goes into the asset’s logbook. More on the maintenance & inspections page.
Can Scanwiz be used as building maintenance software?
For the materials, tools and inspection side of building maintenance, yes: stock, inspection dates, rounds, defect reports and key handovers all run in the app. Tenant communication, dispatch planning and invoicing are not covered by Scanwiz – for those, you keep the systems you already use.
How do I get started with Scanwiz in facility management?
You set up your buildings, areas and locations and import items and equipment from Excel. Then you print QR labels straight from Scanwiz and attach them to shelves, devices and fire extinguishers. For inspections, you create templates with an interval and checklist; existing inspection data can be brought in by import. On the Growth plan, we set this up together with you during personal onboarding. More on the create QR code labels page.
What is technical facility management?
Technical facility management covers everything that keeps building services running: maintenance and inspection of systems such as heating, ventilation, elevators or fire protection, upkeep and repairs, and the supply of spare parts. Scanwiz supports exactly this operational part: inspection dates per asset, spare parts with minimum stock in the mechanical room and a complete history of who inspected or replaced what, and when.
Do I get inspection records for audits and insurers?
Yes. Every inspection is stored in the asset’s logbook with inspector, time, result and checklist – with a photo and signature if needed. The logbook can be printed as a whole, and individual reports are available at any time. You attach manuals, certificates and external inspection reports as files directly to the asset, so everything is in one place for an audit.
Can I use NFC tags instead of QR labels?
Yes. As well as QR labels, NFC tags can be linked to an asset: hold your phone to the tag and the asset opens in the Scanwiz app – on iOS and Android. That is handy in mechanical rooms and anywhere a label could get dirty or worn. You can print QR labels straight from Scanwiz whenever you need them.
Can external contractors work in Scanwiz too?
Yes. Because users are unlimited on every plan, you can also give external contractors or cleaning teams their own login. User roles define who can see and book what – for example, an electrician can record inspections but cannot correct stock levels. Alternatively, you only record the handover of keys and devices to contractors, with a signature on the screen.
How much does Scanwiz cost for facility management?
Plans start at $49 per month for up to 500 items (Starter). Growth costs $165 per month for up to 2,000 items, and Business is available on request; annual payment comes with a 10% discount. Users and locations are unlimited on every plan – every building and every team member at no extra cost. You can try it beforehand free and without obligation, no credit card.
