Make Asset Management Easy with BlueTally QR Code Asset Tags

Keeping track of assets is important for businesses of all sizes. Laptops, servers, office furniture, and other equipment need to be monitored carefully. Manual tracking can take a lot of time and lead to mistakes. QR code asset tags make managing assets faster, easier, and more organized.

With BlueTally, companies can use QR code asset tags with Avery Sticker Sheets or Brother Label Printers. This gives businesses full control over how they print and use asset tags.

In this article, we explain QR code asset tags, their benefits, and how BlueTally makes asset tagging simple.

What Are QR Code Asset Tags?

A QR code asset tag is a label with a scannable QR code. Unlike regular barcodes, QR codes can hold more information and are easy to scan with smartphones, tablets, or scanners.

With BlueTally, QR code asset tags let companies:

  • Give each asset a unique ID: Every asset has its own QR code linked to the company’s BlueTally account.
  • See asset information fast: Scanning the QR code opens the asset’s Show Asset page in a mobile web browser.
  • Keep digital records: Authorized users manage assets through BlueTally, cutting down on spreadsheets and paper logs.

Using QR code asset tags gives businesses quick access to asset info, making audits and maintenance easier.

How BlueTally Helps with QR Code Asset Tagging

BlueTally makes QR code asset tagging simple and flexible. Here’s how:

1. Automatic QR Code Creation

BlueTally automatically generates a unique QR code for each asset in a company’s account. This removes the need to make codes manually and ensures every asset is tracked properly.

2. Printer Integrations

BlueTally works with Avery Sticker Sheets and Brother Label Printers. Companies can:

  • Print QR code labels whenever needed
  • Customize the text on the labels to display what they need
  • Control how and where labels are applied

This gives companies flexibility while keeping the process simple.

3. Mobile Access

When an employee scans a QR code with their smartphone or tablet camera, it opens the asset’s Show Asset page in a web browser. This shows:

  • Serial numbers and model info
  • Purchase dates and warranty
  • Location and current owner
  • Maintenance and audit history

Important: Scanning a QR code does not update BlueTally records automatically. Only authorized users can update asset information in the company’s BlueTally account.

4. Manage Assets Through BlueTally Accounts

All asset data is linked to the company’s BlueTally account, where authorized users can:

  • View and manage assets across locations
  • Track ownership and movement
  • Record maintenance or service events
  • Create reports for audits and management

This keeps asset information organized and secure.

5. Easier Audits and Reporting

Audits used to take hours. Now, managers can scan QR codes to see assets on-site and update records from their BlueTally account as needed. This saves time and reduces mistakes.

Benefits of QR Code Asset Tags with BlueTally

Using BlueTally QR code asset tags gives companies many benefits:

1. Accurate and Reliable Records

Linking data to the company’s BlueTally account reduces errors. Managers can check asset information quickly and ensure accountability.

2. Faster Audits

Auditing assets no longer requires searching spreadsheets or paper logs. QR codes give instant access to asset info on-site.

3. Easy Maintenance Tracking

BlueTally helps track maintenance schedules and service histories. Scanning a QR code will bring you to the Show Asset page, which can display:

  • Last maintenance date
  • Usage and activity logs

This helps prevent downtime and keeps assets in good condition.

4. Affordable Solution

BlueTally works with existing printers, specifically compatible with certain models of Brother Label Printers and any regular printer capable of interfacing with Avery Sticker Sheets. There’s no need for expensive, special labeling systems. It’s easy to use and cost-effective.

5. Scalable for Any Business

Whether a small office or a large company, BlueTally scales to fit your needs. New assets can be tagged quickly, and authorized users can always access the data.
