InventoryPro Barcoding

Inventory Pro supports barcode scanning in desktop and mobile workflows, so your team can receive, count, pick, and move stock with faster data entry.

Use handheld scanners, phone cameras, or rugged mobile hardware depending on the speed and volume your warehouse needs.

Code 128

A common choice for Inventory Pro labels. It handles letters and numbers well and fits many warehouse barcode jobs.

Universal Product Codes (UPC)

UPC labels are already printed on many retail items, which makes them useful when stock moves from the shelf to checkout or fulfillment.

PDF417
PDF417 barcode with stacked rows for high-density data

This format can hold more data and includes error correction. It is often larger than other 2D codes, so label space matters.

Quick Response (QR) Codes
QR code used for dense warehouse or product data

QR codes fit a lot of data into a small space, which can help when one scan needs to capture more than a basic item ID.

Other Formats
Mixed barcode types including RFID, EAN, and Data Matrix examples

Inventory Pro can also work with formats such as RFID, Data Matrix, and EAN when your workflow calls for them.

Code 39
Code 39 barcode often used for engraved serial or asset labels

Code 39 is an older format with a smaller character set. It still shows up on asset tags, engraved serial labels, and legacy workflows.

Systems

Barcoding starts with a system, A process flow from how your labels are generated for inventory, how stock operations are processed, and it is packaged and shipped.

In some cases you may receive items already labeled from your suppliers, in others, you may need to break down pallets and label for individual sale.

We can help identify a process flow and establish methods for barcoding the key inventory attributes.

Use Cases

  • Inbound Receiving

Automatic printing allows for barcodes to be printed automatically for performing tasks throughout the system. Be it cycle counts, receiving, picking, packing.
