InQRy is a cross-platform application that generates a single QR code containing the machine's hardware specifications. This application is designed primarily to be used during a physical inventory procedure.

The QR code contains detailed information about the client machine or device, which can then be scanned it quickly add assets into a Snipe-IT database.

InQRy obtains hardware specs using shell commands and parses the output for the desired information. It then takes that information, processes it and instructs the qrcode Python module to create a QR code, which is displayed on the screen for scanning.

InQRy determines which instructions to follow based on the machine itself. Those instructions contain other necessary information that allow it to move fluidly through different types of fields in the Snipe-IT asset entry form.

InQRy was written to obtain asset information quickly and accurately for both an initial physical inventory procedure, as well as subsequent hardware audits.
