How does PhotoTag work?
A brief summary of the PhotoTag mobile app workflow
Step 1: Set up tags and categories
Log in to the app. Click on the Tag setup tab to add the tags and categories you want to be applied to your photos. Categories are used for broad groupings of photos, while tags label your photos in more detail.
Optional: Tag photo with barcode or serial number
If you would like a photo to be associated with a barcode or serial number, select the barcode icon to scan a barcode using your device’s built-in camera.
Step 2: Take a photo
To take a photo, select the Camera tab. The tags and categories you selected in step 1 are automatically linked to your photo and are uploaded to the cloud.
Step 3: Use List View to find images
View the photo in the Photo list tab. Search and filter images using the app or web interface. Search images typing in the search box or by selecting tags, categories, date, or GPS coordinates.

Example industries and workflows
Freight claims
Incorrectly sent, damaged or missing freight can be costly and time consuming to process. Use PhotoTag to scan barcodes of the order number, pallet label or other barcode or NFC tag. Then, capture pictures of the freight as it is wrapped, staged, or loaded on trucks.
As incorrect, damaged or missing freight is discovered, your customer service team can easily look up the photos and send them to a customer or logistics company. These photos serve as proof of condition and quantity as the items are shipped, and are extremely valuable for insurance-related claims.
Learn more on our PhotoTag for Freight Claims page.
Manufacturing
Capture photos of manufacturing work in process, especially when your team finds defects or other anomalies, without slowing down. Quickly scan a barcode, such as a work order, and capture images of products or assemblies. Photos are automatically uploaded to the cloud for review and corrective action.
For more information, please visit our PhotoTag for Manufacturing page.
Inspections and progress tracking
Maintaining an organized history of photos can be time consuming. PhotoTag does the organizing for you! Read an NFC tag or barcode on an inspection point or location. Capture pictures of the current condition of the items. Over time, you can see the sorted organized changes to each item. If you're using the Ricoh G900SE, you can use the watermark feature to align the photos for each shot.
