Professional Organizers & Business Use
This section explains how professional organizers, moving companies, storage businesses, and teams can use Elephant Trax to manage boxes, items, and inventory more efficiently.
Can professional organizers use Elephant Trax?
Yes. Elephant Trax is useful for professional organizers who help clients organize homes, garages, storage units, moving boxes, offices, or business inventory.
Professional organizers can use Elephant Trax to create a clear digital inventory for each box. They can upload item photos, add item names, notes, keywords, locations, categories, and assign QR codes to boxes.
This helps clients know exactly what is inside each box without opening every container.
How can I organize inventory for a client?
You can organize inventory for a client by using the Account Sharing feature.
The client can invite you to their Elephant Trax account from Settings > Account Sharing. Once you accept the invitation, you can switch into the client’s shared account and help manage their inventory.
You can then:
- Create boxes
- Upload item photos
- Add item names and details
- Add keywords
- Assign locations and categories
- Attach QR codes to boxes
- Search and organize inventory
- Update box or item details when needed
When you are working inside the client’s shared account, a green bar may appear at the top of the app to show that you are currently using another person’s account.
Can I transfer boxes to a client later?
Currently, Elephant Trax supports Account Sharing, but box ownership transfer is not available at the moment.
Instead of transferring boxes, the best workflow is for the client to invite you to their account first. This way, all boxes, items, QR codes, and inventory details are created directly inside the client’s account.
After the project is complete, the client remains the primary account owner and can remove your access at any time from Settings > Account Sharing.
Can I keep viewer access after transfer?
Box ownership transfer is not currently available, so viewer access after transfer is also not available as a separate transfer feature.
However, with Account Sharing, the primary user controls access. If the client wants you to continue helping after the project, they can keep your shared access active. If they no longer need your help, they can remove your access from Settings > Account Sharing at any time.
Can I manage multiple clients?
Yes, you can help manage multiple clients if each client invites you through Account Sharing.
Each client should invite you from their own Elephant Trax account. After you accept the invitations, you can switch between accounts from Settings > Account Sharing.
When you switch into a client’s account, you can manage boxes and inventory for that specific client. To return to your own account, go back to Account Sharing and switch to your own email/account.
The green bar at the top helps you know when you are currently working inside a shared account.
Can I use Elephant Trax for moving companies?
Yes. Moving companies can use Elephant Trax to make packing, moving, and unpacking more organized.
Each box can be connected to a QR code, and the box can include item photos, names, notes, room location, category, and keywords. This helps movers and customers quickly identify what is inside each box.
For example, a moving company can create boxes like:
- Kitchen Box 1
- Bedroom Clothes
- Office Documents
- Fragile Items
- Garage Tools
Later, the customer can scan the QR code to see what is inside each box without opening it.
Can I use Elephant Trax for storage units?
Yes. Elephant Trax is very useful for storage units.
Storage units often contain many boxes, bins, trunks, or containers. With Elephant Trax, you can label each box with a QR code and save a digital inventory of what is inside.
You can also add locations such as:
- Storage Unit A
- Storage Unit B
- Garage Storage
- Basement Storage
- Warehouse Shelf 1
Later, you can search by item name, keyword, location, category, or scan the QR code to find items quickly.
Can I use Elephant Trax for offices or business inventory?
Yes. Elephant Trax can be used for offices, small businesses, warehouses, schools, studios, or teams that need to manage stored items.
Businesses can use ElephantTrax to track:
- Office supplies
- Documents
- Equipment
- Electronics
- Tools
- Event materials
- Product samples
- Seasonal inventory
- Storage room items
By assigning QR codes to boxes or containers, teams can quickly check what is stored where and reduce time spent searching for items.
Best workflow for professional organizers
A good workflow for professional organizers is:
- Ask the client to create an Elephant Trax account.
- Ask the client to invite you from Settings > Account Sharing.
- Accept the invitation from email, notification, or Settings > Account Sharing.
- Switch into the client’s shared account.
- Upload or take photos of the items.
- Add item names, notes, keywords, and other details.
- Select the items and go to QR Setup.
- Create box labels, locations, categories, and notes.
- Assign QR codes to the boxes.
- Place QR code labels on the physical boxes.
- Review the inventory with the client.
- When the project is complete, the client can keep or remove your access.
This workflow keeps all inventory data inside the client’s account from the beginning.
Best workflow for moving and decluttering projects
For moving and decluttering projects, use Elephant Trax while packing or sorting items.
Recommended workflow:
- Group similar items together.
- Upload or take photos of the items.
- Add item names, notes, and keywords.
- Select the items that belong in the same box.
- Tap QR Setup.
- Add a clear box label, such as “Kitchen Box 1” or “Winter Clothes.”
- Add location and category details if needed.
- Assign a QR code to the box.
- Attach the QR code label to the physical box.
- Search or scan the QR code later to find items quickly.
This helps reduce confusion during moving, unpacking, decluttering, garage organization, storage unit organization, or seasonal storage.
