Barcode and Scanning
Barcode scanning across picking, receiving, and stocktakes, with audio feedback, purchase-order validation, and product labels sent straight to a label printer.
- Picks verified at the scan
Pickers scan each product to confirm it matches the order line. Wrong scans are rejected with an error tone, so the wrong item never leaves the warehouse.
- Receive goods in seconds
Scan each product as it comes off the truck and quantities increment automatically. No manual SKU lookup, no typing.
- Audio feedback on every scan
A success beep or error tone confirms each scan instantly, so operators know immediately whether to move on, even without looking at the screen.
- Labels on demand
Print a product label to a label printer or a browser label sheet from the product page, or label a whole delivery from its goods receipt.
What it does
Adds barcode scanning support across warehouse workflows: picking orders, receiving goods, and counting stock. Warehouse staff scan product SKUs with a standard USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner to identify items, confirm quantities, and set warehouse locations. The system resolves scanned barcodes against products, variants, orders, purchase orders, warehouses, and locations, with audio feedback (success beep or error tone) on every scan. Product labels can also be printed to a label printer or a browser sheet from the product page (see Label Printing and Supplier Barcodes).
What it replaces
Replaces manually looking up products by name or code, typing SKUs into forms, and cross-referencing paper pick lists against shelves. Without scanning, every warehouse operation requires reading, typing, and verifying, which is slow and error-prone, especially at scale.
Who it's for
Any business with warehouse operations where speed and accuracy matter. Distributors processing high volumes of orders, manufacturers receiving bulk raw materials, and wholesalers running stocktakes across large product catalogues all benefit from scan-based workflows. Particularly valuable for operations with multiple warehouse staff where consistency matters. Scanning eliminates the "wrong product picked" problem that manual processes introduce.
What problems it solves
- Picking the wrong product costs time and trust. The pick workflow requires scanning each product's barcode to confirm it matches the order line. Wrong product scans produce an error tone and are rejected. No more shipping the wrong item because someone grabbed the next product on the shelf.
- Goods receipt is slow when quantities are entered manually. The "Receive with scanner" workflow lets the operator scan each product as it comes off the truck, with quantities incrementing automatically per scan. Location barcodes can be scanned to set where the stock is being put away.
- Stocktake counting requires constant lookup. During a stocktake, scanning a product barcode instantly identifies the item and opens the count entry. No scrolling through a list or searching by name.
- Products don't have printable labels. Product labels print from the product page to a label printer or a browser sheet. See Label Printing and Supplier Barcodes for goods-receipt and lot labels.
- No audio confirmation that a scan worked. Every scan triggers an audible success beep or error tone, so the operator knows immediately whether the scan was accepted, even without looking at the screen.
