New feature: QR codes

Introducing QR codes in Articheck – easy access to object records, wherever you work

We’re excited to introduce a new QR code feature – now available in both the iOS app and the latest version of our web app, Articheck 3.0.

Designed to support smoother on-site workflows and easier coordination across teams and locations, QR codes offer a secure and intuitive way to connect physical artworks with their digital documentation. Whether you’re coordinating shipments, managing installations, or carrying out conservation treatments, a single scan gives authorised users instant access to the correct object record – reducing the risk of misidentification, miscommunication, and delays.

See the QR code feature in action

Our short video walkthrough shows exactly how the new QR code functionality works. From customising your label to printing and scanning across different locations, the tutorial demonstrates how a quick scan displays the right object details for the next person handling the piece.

In just a few clicks, you’ll have a QR code ready to attach to a crate, storage box, catalogue entry – or wherever it’s most useful for your team. Helping your colleagues verify an object’s identity, review condition information, or reference installation notes in no time at all.

Secure access to the object record

QR codes in Articheck are built for secure sharing. Each code generates a permission-controlled link, so only authorised users can access the related object record. This ensures that your documentation remains readily available to those who need it – without compromising the security of your data.

Start streamlining today

This new feature makes it faster and easier to identify artworks on the move, surface the right information at the right moment, and collaborate seamlessly across your organisation.

Whether you’re attaching a label to a crate, a shelf, or a storage box, QR codes offer a simple and reliable way to bridge your physical workflows with your digital records.

QR codes are available now in iOS and in our new web app, Articheck 3.0.
