Storage Basics

Container identity

A visible number or name that connects a physical container to the record of what is inside.

What it means

A visible number or name that connects a physical container to the record of what is inside.

Why it matters

Identity is the bridge between the bin in your garage and the inventory on your phone.

Example

A large “7” on the tote matches tote 7 in your searchable inventory.

How Totely helps
