Automate file tracking using barcode file tracking technology.
Color-coded barcode file tracking systems
- Color-coding of files makes file pulls and refiles much faster through visual versus cognitive filing operations.
Unique colors are assigned to each alpha character A – Z and digit 0 – 9, and display on file folder label based on the type of filing system being utilized for alphabetic or numeric filing.
- Misfiles are prevented because colors clash and misfiles that do occur are immediately visible.
- When files are pulled or being returned, barcoding automates file tracking and records management functions.

Check-Out and Check-In
- Scan folder barcode and then either scan destination (transfer-to) barcode or select destination from drop-down list.
- Enables batch check-in and check-out of many records to one or many destinations as a single transaction.
- All transfers update file locations in database and create audit trail records for chain-of-custody.

Digitize and automate archives tracking with barcoding
Transferring files to archives
- Scan archive box or binder barcode and then the barcode on each folder going into the archive.
- Updates FileTrackerIoT folder records with box # and updates box data with folders-in-the-box.
- File folders are automatically tracked as dependent children records of the box, until and unless a file is removed from an archive and is managed individually until returned to an archive.

Tracking and managing archives
- Place barcode Location labels on each shelf or shelf sub-location (shelf position).
- Scan shelf location barcode and box barcode which updates Total Tracking Visibility (TTV) software with the exact location of each archive box or binder.
- Total Tracking Visibility (TTV) keeps track of when archives are due for destruction based on legal retention guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions related File management
Yes. The FileTrackerIoT mobile app allows users to scan a barcode with a smartphone or handheld scanner and immediately view the file’s movement log, including who last accessed it and when, for complete accountability.
FileTrackerIoT includes a built-in barcode generator. You can create unique barcode labels for each file or folder in bulk, then print and apply them to your documents. Once tagged, every scan updates the system’s barcode file tracking database automatically.
Absolutely. Barcode file tracking works with paper files, legal documents, financial records, healthcare charts, or any physical folder. Simply apply a barcode label and the system will monitor its location and history in real time.
A barcode file tracking system assigns a unique barcode to each record. When a file is checked in, checked out or moved, a scanner reads the barcode and updates the central database. This creates a real-time audit trail and eliminates the errors of manual logbooks.
You need a barcode-enabled file tracking software such as FileTrackerIoT, barcode printers or pre-printed labels, and scanners (USB, Bluetooth, or mobile devices). A standard computer or server hosts the database, while optional mobile apps provide on-the-go barcode file tracking.
FileTrackerIoT protects barcode file tracking data with end-to-end encryption, secure user authentication, and role-based permissions. Only authorized staff can view or update sensitive file information.
