Tips for Best Results
- 💡Start with high-value items first; a perfect inventory can come later.
- 💡Photograph serial numbers and receipts, not just the item from across the room.
- 💡Use reminder dates for warranty expiries and return windows so the tracker stays useful.
- 💡Keep a backup outside the home in case the inventory is needed after a theft, fire, or flood.
