Wow, congratulations on making it to Product Hunt! Your project looks amazing. Can you share any insights into your future plans and how you plan to grow your user base?
Carlos Virreira
@tatiana_elm thank you for taking the time off your day to write this question. Our plan is to work closely with firms that are 'gear heavy' and see value in our tool. We love how productive we are with shipping updates lately so we are up for a fun ride. The user growth won't be explosive, but the value created for firms will be large. At the moment, having tons of fun talking with users and making the product better. We keep a close eye on what the usage of the tool is. We are discovering interesting insights from usage patterns. For now, we want to grow by features and testimonials. Ideally at some point do some SEO and get some nice reviews!

This sounds like a game-changer for businesses with physical assets! The ease of scanning QR labels and tracking inventory will definitely streamline workflows and save time. Excited to see the impact you folks in this space!
Carlos Virreira
@shushant_lakhyani that is the vision! Even companies that deploy a lot of IT assets to their workforce can benefit from this. Imagine - you have to do a company asset inventory and found that there are 1000s of $ worth of machinery/technology/equipment missing. Who is to blame? Hopefully Shelf won't blame anyone but avoid the finger pointing dance all along!

Thank you @vladimir_zivkovic Was super scared to do it. I am doing it scared anyways. But, the support I am getting is making me wish I had done this earlier! Thank you so much for your support!

@carlos_virreira the idea of building a smart asset tracking and management tool is very smart. I wonder if your clients are mostly remote, hybrid or in-office kind of? I can bet remote mostly, since they're delivering assets worldwide? +1 for showing yourself as you are within the #buildinpublic community! Congratulations on your launch!
Carlos Virreira
Hey @ifranchini ! Asset tracking and management is a need I have, as my team is becoming more and more remote/hybrid. I need to empower everyone to do their best work by giving them good equipment, as well as an ergonomic workspace. This has to be managed somehow. An excel list was ok but it felt harder to manage than building an ecosystem in which we all can see, book, rent, and request assets from the company. This has been valuable to other firms from the short period we are online, and it makes me super happy. So far, the most value has been extracted by the event production / film production industry. They have tons of assets that belong to a 'gear room' and need to be used by many. Imagine, having a double booking for a whole film kit? That can be a disaster!

Looks dope! We made something similar with NFC chips but QR codes make it a lot more accessible for the masses. GL with future development!
Carlos Virreira
Thanks @yoreldavidson - was the tool open source? How is it called! I am so curious!

Hi, Is this service free? I can't see the pricing policy, so I'll ask.
Carlos Virreira
@new_user_1965ce9c93 it is for now! We will engage our community when launching a pricing model. Hopefully in a nice, collaborative manner. We are trying to get our usage high now and learn from the patterns we see of usage.

@fadhil_alita thank you for your thoughtful message! I see a future where asset registry, labelling and tagging is not a nice to have but a necessary thing. To increase the visibility of equipment, access and utilisation.
