Papertrail works with a number of different scannable solutions such as barcodes, RFID and NFC. RFID and NFC solutions rely on having a tag, dot, label or microchip either incorporated or attached to your equipment and access to the corresponding reader. The easiest way to scan barcodes is with the built-in barcode scanner in the Papertrail mobile application.

Papertrail prides itself on being brand agnostic. Please see below for a list of solutions available:

Tough Tags - Provide tough, waterproof and weatherproof bespoke printed labels for adding unique identifiers, QR codes and barcodes to your equipment. They work on a wide range of applications including fall protection equipment.

Barcode Warehouse - A provider of barcode label printers, RFID equipment and barcode scanners that can be used with our web application.

Please note - RFID works on three frequencies - LF, HF and UHF. It is important that your RFID labels and readers are the same frequency. The Papertrail applications work with any type of bluetooth RFID reader that acts as a keyboard wedge.

DMM iD - Provide a bluetooth RFID reader and corresponding retrofit tag solutions such as the iD Dot, iD Zip Tie and iD Rope Labels.

Earlsmere - Provide many RFID and label solutions for a wide variety of asset and inspection management.
