Boxinvy provides a simple way to create locations for various purposes such as home, business, vehicles, and more. By doing so, you can effectively organize your inventory items into boxes within those locations. This feature allows for efficient and convenient management of your inventory.
Overview
Boxinvy locations help you categorize your inventory by your home, business, or vehicle. You can have photos, name, about, QR Code, Actual Cost, and replacement cost as fields.
If this Location was a home you would add the Kitchen as a parent box underneath to categorize. Once you have created a location you can start expanding the tree of boxes.
