Barcode Scanning is on the Way

We're working on a powerful scanning feature that will make inventory management faster than ever. Stay tuned for updates!

What's coming

The scanning feature will allow you to use your smartphone camera or a connected barcode scanner to quickly interact with your inventory.

Hardware Scanner Support

Connect USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners for high-volume scanning.

Quick Product Lookup

Scan a product to instantly view details, stock levels, and pricing.

Fast Stock Adjustments

Scan and adjust quantities in seconds—perfect for receiving and counts.

Planned capabilities

You'll be able to:

Scan product barcodes to view product details
Quickly add stock by scanning during receiving
Perform cycle counts with scan-to-count workflow
Look up products without typing SKU or name
Add items to purchase orders by scanning
Support for common barcode formats (UPC, EAN, QR codes)

Prepare for scanning

While we're building the scanning feature, you can prepare your inventory to take full advantage of it when it launches.

Add SKUs to products

Ensure each product has a SKU that matches your barcode labels. This is how scanning will identify products.

Use consistent barcodes

If you print your own labels, use a consistent barcode format across all products.

Update existing products

Review your product list and add missing SKU/barcode information now.

Plan your workflow

Think about where scanning will help most: receiving, counting, or lookups.
