A new Asset Tag
Smaller, More Robust
More easily purchased

SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada


There are three parts to any fixed asset management system: the hardware, the software, and the labels.

The hardware and software have improved significantly over the last twenty years. But the labels have stayed the same. So, time for a makeover.

2D barcode readers used to be more expensive. Not any more. So adopting a 2D format means that asset tags can be much smaller without the hardware costing more.

And by using a stronger adhesive, and an overcoat that is more resistive to abrasion, we can make the tags more rugged. To enable additional tags to be purchased more easily, we introduced an improved register, which means tags can be delivered more quickly.

So these new, premium, tags are smaller, more robust, more easily purchased


New Tag Format
SageData has developed a new and improved, premium barcode tag for your tracking needs. Smaller, more rugged.
In the past, barcode readers were not able to read 2D barcodes, or they were much more expensive compared to traditional 1D barcode readers.

However as mobile computing technology has improved, the 2D barcodes have become a more widely adopted standard. The 2D barcode is exceptional in small applications. Taking up 0.275 square inches, these barcodes are perfect for your smallest applications. In some cases there may not be enough space to apply a traditional label, such as tracking hand tools or firearms. These labels do not have to be used only in small applications. The benefit of having a small label is that it does not take up very much space.

This may seem like an obvious statement...

But with a barcode of this size, the location you could place it could be much less obtrusive than with a larger 1D barcode. This allows for a greater variety of assets to be tracked, including higher value items whose aesthetic merits would be disrupted by the size of traditional 1D labels.

Unobtrusiveness is one part of the asset tracking process, the next being keeping the asset tagged.

SageData has a long history of producing asset tags, and we have utilized this knowledge to produce an extremely high quality product. These labels have an excellent adhesive, as well as a protective cover, which improves the longevity of the tag.
These factors will allow for the tag to be applied easily, and stay on for the life cycle of the asset.
