Reviews

Shelf is driving remarkable asset management experiences that enable success stories, empower businesses, and fuel growth across industries and individuals.

I've been using Shelf for my & our filming equipment management, and it has been a game-changer. The personal support is exceptional. I’m especially impressed with how quickly they are able to address our feature requests and fix problems. Shelf has made our operations smoother and more efficient. Highly recommended!

We use Shelf to track all of assets/equipment that moves in between our 7 locations. Our team loves how simple and straightforward it is to use, Shelf is by far one of the cleanest UI's compared to the other solutions we have tried. We particularly love the unclaimed asset tags; it gives our team the freedom to tag assets and then enter the info when it's convenient.

We have been using Shelf for several months now and have found the service to be well worth the learning curve. We primarily use it for keeping track of roughly 400 assets that are out in the field and 120 within our office itself. The system for assigning the devices to team members is easy to learn and the duplication and creation of assets within the system are as well. While we have yet to utilize the booking feature, we there is a significant chance that we may use it in the future for our onboarding process. We have found the search functionality to be useful and the inventory value system is phenomenal.

"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!"
