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)
