Barcoding is built into Inventory Pro from day one. Plug in a cheap USB scanner or just use your phone camera — no special equipment, no IT project.
Scan to receive, scan to count, scan to ship. Faster and a lot fewer typos than typing quantities.
The workhorse format for Inventory Pro and most systems. Simple and reliable for alphanumeric labels.
The code on nearly every retail product — great if your shop sells packaged goods. Standard across point of sale.
Larger than other 2D formats but sturdy — it shows up on IDs and parts and tolerates wear and tear well.
More than a marketing gimmick — a QR code can pack multiple data points into a single scan.
RFID, Datamatrix, and EAN all work with Inventory Pro too — pick what your suppliers and industry already use.
An older block format with a limited character set — still handy for things like engraved serial numbers.
Barcoding starts with a plan, not a purchase: how labels are generated when stock arrives, how each operation is scanned, and how items get packed and shipped with the right code on them.
Sometimes your suppliers ship already-labeled goods; other times you break down a pallet and label for individual sale. Both workflows work.
We'll help you map a simple process and decide what to label first — usually the bin, then the item.
On-demand printing lets you print exactly the labels you need, when you need them — a shelf label while receiving, a barcode on a pick list.
Automatic printing kicks out barcodes as you work: cycle counts, receiving, picking, packing. If a task needs a label, it prints itself.
