Frequently Asked Questions
Inventory tagging and tracking is the process of assigning a unique identifier — barcode, QR code, or RFID tag — to every piece of equipment, then recording each item’s movement, status, and location every time it’s scanned. For event rental companies, this means knowing exactly where every cable, fixture, and case is at all times, whether it’s on a warehouse shelf, loaded on a truck, deployed at a venue, or in repair.
Barcodes and QR codes require line-of-sight scanning — each item must be individually scanned. RFID uses radio waves and doesn’t require line-of-sight, allowing bulk scanning of entire racks or truckloads in seconds. Flex supports all three. Most companies start with barcodes for cost efficiency, add QR for longer label content, and deploy RFID in high-throughput areas like loading docks for maximum speed.
Yes. Flex supports all three simultaneously. Many production teams start with barcodes, add QR codes for items with longer identification needs, and deploy RFID readers for high-throughput areas — all managed within the same inventory platform without separate systems.
Yes. You can bulk import existing IDs and maintain continuity with your previous system.
You can use phones or dedicated scanners. Many teams start with smartphones, then add sleds for speed.
Yes. Generate and print codes sized for items, cases, or pallets.
Absolutely. Tagging ties every scan to an item record, giving you precise, real-time data for usage, availability, and ROI.
Most teams tag critical gear first, then expand. Our training offerings can accelerate the process.
Flex scales from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of tagged assets.
