Question 1

Can you tag a university with buildings spread across a large campus?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is routine work for us. We sequence the tagging building by building against a pre-agreed asset list, which keeps the job efficient and avoids repeat visits to the same block. A comprehensive register at KSh 150 per asset also captures building and room location as we go.

Question 2

Is it better to tag during term time or during a break?

Accepted Answer

Holiday periods are usually easier because rooms are accessible without disrupting lectures or exams, and our team can move through buildings faster. Term-time tagging is entirely possible but takes longer per building since we work around timetables, which can affect the overall project schedule.

Question 3

What tags suit agro-processing machinery around Eldoret?

Accepted Answer

Acetone-activated aluminium tags for wash-down or oily surfaces, and riveted tags for equipment with heavy vibration, since standard adhesive tags tend to lift under those conditions faster than on office equipment. Standard aluminium barcode tags remain appropriate for the vehicles and office equipment on the same site.

Question 4

How much does travel to Eldoret cost for on-site tagging?

Accepted Answer

Transport, accommodation and subsistence are charged at cost, with an exact itemised figure given before work starts, based on team size and the number of days the job needs. A multi-building university campus typically needs more days on-site than a single processing plant of similar asset count.

Question 5

Do you provide a scanner for university asset verification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, free on projects of 500 or more assets on either service tier, which covers most college and university estates. Below that, scanners can be quoted separately, with answers typically given within four working hours. Universities often need to scan across multiple faculties and campuses rather than one building, so tell us your site layout when scoping, it affects whether one scanner is enough or a handheld reader per building makes annual verification faster.

Question 6

Could our own facilities team tag the campus instead of hiring yours?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you're comfortable managing the sequencing and register build yourselves, you can simply order tags and apply them internally. Institutions with hundreds of rooms and mixed asset types often find our on-site service faster and more consistent, since we manage the full building-by-building process and reconciliation.

Question 7

Do laboratory instruments need a different tag from office furniture?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Curved or small lab instrument cases can suit polyester-vinyl better than rigid aluminium, which needs a flatter surface. Larger benchtop equipment usually takes a standard aluminium QR or barcode tag without issue, we assess this on the site walk rather than assuming one material for the whole lab.

Question 8

How long would tagging 2,000 assets across an Eldoret campus take?

Accepted Answer

Tag production for 2,000 pieces falls in the 3–5 working day band from artwork approval. On-site fixing and register-building time depends on how spread out the buildings are, a compact single campus is faster than one split across multiple sites, and we quote the on-site schedule separately from production time.

Question 9

Can you tag agricultural training institution farms as well as classroom buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we've tagged mixed estates that include classrooms, hostels, workshops and working farms in the same institution. Farm equipment and vehicles typically take standard aluminium tags, while any processing or milling equipment on-site follows the same acetone-activated or riveted approach used for commercial agro-processing plant.

Question 10

How do payments work for an Eldoret institution using LPO credit?

Accepted Answer

Institutions with a valid LPO can request 30-day credit at credit pricing, which differs from cash pricing. Otherwise a 50% deposit by M-Pesa Paybill 247247, account 0120183631962, starts production and the on-site schedule, with the balance due on completion. We confirm on-site tagging dates only once the deposit or LPO is in place, so build a few days' buffer into your internal approval process if you're working to a fixed audit or term deadline in Eldoret.
