# Mini Case Studies – TallyFlow Capture (DRAFT)

This page contains short, real-world examples of how companies are using TallyFlow Capture (formerly PhotoTag) across manufacturing, shipping, repairs, and field operations.

### Madix – Freight Claims Documentation
Madix is one of the largest manufacturers of store fixtures in the world. They use TallyFlow Capture with Zebra rugged Android devices to photograph products before shipment. Each photo is tagged with the job number and manufacturing location. When items are damaged in transit, Madix can quickly retrieve pre-shipment photos using the job number to support insurance claims.

**Key Benefit:** Fast retrieval of visual proof for freight claims.

### Babbitting Service (BSI) – Job Final Inspections & Shipping
Babbitting Service manufactures and repairs hydrodynamic fluid film bearings. Previously, they used small cameras that were frequently lost or damaged, with low image quality and time-consuming manual uploads. After adopting TallyFlow Capture, the team now takes over 400 photos per day. Photos are automatically tagged with job numbers and uploaded to the cloud in real time. Many employees now use their personal smartphones, resulting in higher quality images and fewer lost devices.

**Key Benefit:** Dramatic reduction in time spent capturing and organizing photos.

### Salter Spiral Staircase – Shipping Verification
Salter Spiral Staircase builds and ships custom indoor and outdoor spiral staircases. To reduce the cost of replacing lost or damaged parts during shipping or installation, they photograph shrink-wrapped components before shipment using Ricoh G900SE cameras and TallyFlow Capture. Photos are tagged with the manufacturing job number, allowing quick proof of quantity and condition at the time of shipping.

**Key Benefit:** Reduced expenses from replacement part shipments.

### Hi-Tech Compressor – Repair Process Documentation
Hi-Tech Compressor maintains and repairs reciprocating compressors and pumps. Each unit arriving for repair is assigned a repair ticket. TallyFlow Capture associates the ticket number with arrival photos, in-process documentation, and final repair photos. These records are used to show customers the work performed and to maintain a visual history of each compressor over time.

**Key Benefit:** Clear visual documentation of repair work and equipment history.

### MKB Stormwater Innovations – Distributed Sales Team Documentation
MKB is a leader in erosion control systems. Their distributed sales team previously struggled to manage and locate Bills of Lading sent via email or text. Using TallyFlow Capture, they now photograph BOLs in the field, tagging them with the sales order number and categorizing them appropriately. This creates a centralized, searchable record accessible to the entire team.

**Key Benefit:** Easier management and retrieval of critical shipping documents.

### Spinola Vitoria – Steel Shipment Inspections
Spinola Vitoria inspects steel shipments for quality issues such as rust or damage. Using TallyFlow Capture, inspectors tag photos with damage type, cargo vessel, and the item barcode from the steel coil or beam labels. Photos can then be retrieved by damage category, vessel, or specific item number.

**Key Benefit:** Structured, searchable inspection records by multiple criteria.

### Tucor – Irrigation Installation Tracking
Tucor manufactures two-wire irrigation control systems. Their customers use TallyFlow Capture to document field-installed equipment. Photos are automatically tagged with GPS coordinates, allowing Tucor to view installations on a map and locate underground equipment when service is required.

**Key Benefit:** GPS-tagged visual records for field equipment tracking and maintenance.
