Shortcut is a web application that manages your video tape library online. Since it's a web application, there's no software to install and no backups to manage. Your data is available safely and securely from any internet connection anywhere, any time.

Shortcut supports multiple users within an organization, generating detailed tracking information for every employee with an account. You'll know who has checked out tapes, why they have them, and when they're due back.

3 - Enter information about the tape

Entering tape information into the Shortcut system is easy. After selecting a tape format and content type, Shortcut allows you to enter information about the contents of the tape.

Post production facilities, television stations, IT/data backup, and even worship facilities each use tapes differently and need to collect different information. The content type selection in the Shortcut system provides data collection tailored to your industry's needs.

4 - Print a label in one pass and begin tracking

Upon entering tape data, Shortcut generates a PDF that can be printed onto an XpressPass label. Once labeled, the tape is ready for tracking in Shortcut and can be conviently accessed by a barcode printed on the label.

System users can search for specific tapes or clips, check the tape out of the library, and even run reports on tape usage.
