My workflow is photoraphing assets to be inventorised then creating the inventory item. This is one for a fire alarm. I’ve set up periodic checks to make sure it’s in working order.

The QL700 label printer was a fantastic purchase. I’ve also used it to label cables

I use P Touch Editor which came with my Brother label printer to design the barcodes asnd labels that are an important part of the system
