How do I inventory items in storage units or offsite?

Efficiently tracking offsite possessions

Inventorying offsite items requires clear labels, location IDs, and good photos. Treat each storage unit as a location in your inventory and map its contents carefully.

Offsite workflow:

  • Assign a unique ID to each storage unit and label boxes with corresponding IDs
  • Photograph box contents before sealing and attach photos to box entries
  • Record storage address, unit number, and access contacts

Labeling and reference:

  • Use box indexes with summary lists and item counts
  • Attach QR codes to boxes to open the corresponding inventory entry on scan

Security and verification:

  • Keep receipts and proof of rental for the storage unit with your inventory
  • Periodically audit offsite items to confirm condition and presence

Well-labeled, ID-driven records make locating and claiming offsite items much easier and reduce the friction of remote management.
