At my day job (ewaste recycling), all of us in the refurb department maintain our own lists. I keep track of individual items by scanning whatever serial number it already has. Some things lack scannable serial number barcodes (not present, smudged, etc), or don't have serial numbers to begin with. I print out labels with a UUID qr code so I can scan them into my list, and off when they're bought.
I understand the appeal.
