Keeping track of technology, furniture and other physical assets scattered throughout your office might seem low-priority. Until a hurricane or some other natural disaster whisks them away. Now imagine an app that catalogs all the physical items at work, tracking warranty expirations, property insurance coverages — even storing an image of the item. Enter Home Inventory — a $19.99 app designed for home owners that business owners can hijack as well. Items can be added by a barcode scanner on your phone (think books, software, even digital tools), and receipts saved digitally as well. And everything can be backed up to your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch so you can grab a record even when away. Natural disasters can hit both home and offices. Having everything recorded is one less headache to handle when you really need it.
