A Next-Gen NFC-Powered Gear Management App for Filmmakers and Professionals
We built an NFC-powered cross-platform equipment organizer app for CRDBAG, enabling professionals to catalogue gear, assign it to virtual containers, scan NFC tags, and build packlists for shoots and expeditions with real-time cloud sync.
Introduction
CRDBAG — a global brand trusted by filmmakers, photographers, and gear-intensive professionals — wanted to bring their physical organization system into the digital world.
Their customers needed a modern way to catalogue equipment, track bags and pouches, and use NFC tags to instantly view or update gear.
The goal was to create a mobile-first, cross-platform organizer app that mirrored real-world workflows while introducing smart digital automation.
The Challenge
Building Propiler required solving several mission-critical challenges:
-
Designing a tree-view hierarchy for nested containers and equipment.
-
Enabling real-time sync for constantly changing inventories.
-
Implementing NFC workflows for scanning, attaching, and identifying gear.
-
Creating packlists that adapt instantly when containers or items change.
-
Ensuring offline usability with fast caching for remote field environments.
