Inventory management without a scanner – your smartphone is enough

Frequently asked questions
Do I really not need a handheld scanner?
No. The smartphone camera scans QR codes and barcodes reliably – that is enough for posting stock in and out.
Does it also work with existing barcodes?
Yes. Existing manufacturer barcodes can be scanned just like self-printed QR labels.
