Warehouse checklists and inspections without paper

Inspect the warehouse, equipment and selected zones with digital checklists. Place a QR code or NFC tag where it belongs and let the worker start the check with a single scan.

Step 1. Daily forklift inspection — the operator checks key forklift components before work

Daily warehouse checks in one system

Varilo can replace the paper lists used for daily checks of warehouse condition and equipment.

Instead of collecting sheets from several zones, results go straight into a shared history.

An inspection tied to a place or a piece of equipment

A QR code or NFC tag can be placed on a forklift, a rack, a gate or at the entrance to a given zone.

The worker scans the label and immediately knows which check to run.

In the warehouse, digital checklists cover daily forklift inspections, racking condition and housekeeping in storage zones. A photo of a damaged beam or a leak goes into the report and the action log, so nothing gets lost between shifts.

From checklist to report in a few simple steps

This is how a warehouse inspection runs in Varilo.

  1. 1

    Create a zone or equipment checklist

    Prepare the questions for a forklift, rack, dock or an entire warehouse zone.

  2. 2

    Label the place

    Stick a QR code or NFC tag on the equipment or at the entrance to the zone the check applies to.

  3. 3

    The worker runs the check

    They scan the label with a phone and go through the questions — no account, no login.

  4. 4

    Analyse the results

    Results, photos and reported faults collect in one place together with the history.

Inspection results in one place

Reports and statistics show how daily warehouse checks are going:

  • number of inspections in a chosen period,
  • zones and equipment with recurring findings,
  • history of a specific forklift or rack,
  • results of opening and closing checks,
  • reported faults together with photos.

Label a single place with a QR code or NFC tag and see how the check looks when a worker runs it from a phone.

FAQ – Varilo in the warehouse

What is a digital checklist?
It is the equivalent of a paper checklist that the worker fills in on a phone, tablet or computer, with the result saved automatically.
Does the warehouse worker need an account?
No. A shared inspection is completed after scanning the code, without creating a separate account.
Can one label refer to a specific forklift?
Yes. A code can be assigned to a single piece of equipment so the history belongs to it.
Can a photo of damage be added?
Yes. A photo and a comment can be attached to an answer.
What does a daily forklift inspection look like in Varilo?
You place a QR code or NFC tag on the forklift. Before the shift the operator scans it, answers the checklist questions and adds a photo if there is a defect. The report is immediately available to the warehouse manager.
Does Varilo replace statutory equipment examinations?
No. Varilo documents daily checks carried out by employees. Examinations and inspections required by law are carried out by authorised persons and bodies.
