RFID, Barcode & Order Picking Systems
Track inventory, files, and fulfillment with real-time accuracy. Our integrated software and scanning systems improve speed, visibility, and workflow across departments. Whether you're managing a records archive, a warehouse, or a multi-location inventory, these systems give you full control over every item’s location and status.
RFID Tracking Systems for Files and Inventory
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) systems provide real-time location tracking by using embedded tags and long-range scanners. These systems read multiple items at once without requiring line-of-sight, making them ideal for high-security file rooms, warehouses, or facilities that need a full audit trail.
RFID systems integrate seamlessly with records management and inventory platforms, automating check-in/check-out and showing live movement across zones.
Benefits include:
- Real-time tracking with audit trails
- No line-of-sight required for scans
- Scans multiple items simultaneously
- Compatible with records software
- Ideal for legal, medical, and warehouse use
Barcode Tracking Software for Assets and Records
Barcode tracking offers an affordable and easy-to-deploy method for monitoring files, assets, and supply chain inventory. Each barcode label represents a unique item, and scanners update the system with every transaction or location change.
Barcodes are perfect for repeatable workflows and can be used with mobile scanners or integrated software. They reduce human error and speed up item retrieval across all industries.
Maintain Assets and Records:
- Low-cost labels and equipment
- Fast scanning with mobile or handheld readers
- Works in structured daily workflows
- Simplifies records, asset, and supply management
- Easy to train and implement
Order Picking Software for Warehouses and Fulfillment
Order picking software enhances warehouse and fulfillment center performance by automating how workers locate, pick, and pack items. These platforms support batch, wave, and zone picking strategies and help reduce walking time and packing errors.
Live dashboards display order status, urgency, and pick lists. The system integrates with barcode and RFID tags, creating a seamless end-to-end inventory handling process.
The Impact of RFID:- Batch, wave, and zone picking
- Real-time order visibility
- Integrates with WMS and ERPs
- Barcode and RFID compatible
- Reduces walking and search time
Inventory Software That Improves Accuracy
Implementing tracking software increases visibility into inventory levels, reduces errors, and ensures better chain-of-custody tracking. These systems are ideal for environments where items must be traceable and verifiable.
RFID and barcode tools can be deployed together to create hybrid tracking systems, reducing search time by up to 70% and increasing audit accuracy across departments.
Increase Your Facility Workflow:
- Reduces lost files and missing inventory
- Supports hybrid RFID/barcode environments
- Tracks custody and file movement
- Improves retrieval times by up to 70%
- Minimizes manual entry and errors
That makes them an affordable and fast-return investment for fast-growing operations.

Honest Results
“I used to work at a public library. At one point, a company was hired to come in and apply RFID tags to all of the materials in the library (about 100,000 items between four locations); a very similar project to the one we just completed here. I don’t know what company was hired but I can tell you they were a total mess. There is absolutely no comparison between your team and that one. Thank you again to you and your super organized, highly professional, courteous, punctual, friendly, and well-mannered crew. You guys do great work!”
