Target Segments for Repeatable Revenue
Segment 1: Mid-Market Manufacturers with RFID Ambitions
- Already have some RFID readers or are actively evaluating them
- Need software that can consume RFID data and push it into ERP
- High likelihood of multi-year contracts + expansion (more sites, more users)
Segment 2: Apparel & Fashion Brands
- Heavy use of GS1 standards and RFID tagging
- Need both mobile scanning (TallyFlow Assets / Decode) and backend processing (Core)
- Often have multiple distribution centers → good expansion potential
Segment 3: 3PLs and Distribution Centers
- High volume of receiving and exception handling
- Value zone-based tracking and exception reporting
- Often manage multiple clients → potential for platform-style recurring revenue
Segment 4: Companies Already Using RMS Omega or RFIDKnow
- Already invested in compatible hardware or education
- Lower sales friction and faster time-to-value
- Natural fit for bundled solutions
Buying Triggers (When They Are Ready to Buy)
- Implementing or expanding RFID infrastructure
- ERP upgrade or integration project underway
- High exception rates in receiving or inventory accuracy issues
- New warehouse or distribution center opening
- Pressure from customers or compliance requirements (GS1, traceability)
