**How TallyFlow helps:**
|
||||
- Enroll assets in the field with barcode or RFID via mobile
|
||||
- Create and manage assets in Core, including bulk Excel import
|
||||
- Print and encode labels, then optionally register them automatically in Core
|
||||
- Print and encode labels during enrollment via **scan-and-print** (mobile → Print), or from Print with optional Core registration
|
||||
- Support parent/child relationships (for example case and contents, or assembly and components)
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** New RFID programs, tool and equipment fleets, produce case tagging, any site standing up structured asset data

|
||||
**Problem:** Labels are inconsistent, serials are wrong, printing is disconnected from the inventory system, or operators must leave the floor app to reprint a damaged or missing tag.
|
||||
|
||||
**How TallyFlow helps:**
|
||||
- Print and encode RFID and barcode labels (Zebra and ZPL-compatible printers)
|
||||
- Use workflow profiles for common formats, including **GS1-128 / case labels**, **SSCC**, and **FSMA 204** food traceability templates
|
||||
- Keep print history and optionally register printed items as assets
|
||||
- Support simple tags as well as more structured GS1 and parent/child schemes
|
||||
- **Scan-and-print (shipped):** from TallyFlow Assets (mobile), scan an existing asset or complete enrollment and trigger a Print job for a new or replacement label—without switching apps or re-keying identity data
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Produce and food packing, retail/apparel case tagging, internal asset labeling, shipping container identification
|
||||
**Typical scan-and-print moments:**
|
||||
- Damaged or unreadable label on the floor → scan asset → reprint/encode replacement
|
||||
- New asset enrollment in the field → print and encode as part of the same mobile workflow
|
||||
- Correct a wrong label without walking back to a standalone print station workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Produce and food packing, retail/apparel case tagging, internal asset labeling, shipping container identification, tool and equipment fleets that re-tag in place
