How It Works
Barcode scanning in Inventory Pro is simple. You scan an item, and the system knows exactly what it is. That is it. No complicated setup, no training videos to watch.
Some items come with barcodes from your suppliers - just scan them when they arrive. For items without labels, you can print your own barcodes right from Inventory Pro.
Everything you need is built in. No extra apps, no expensive hardware, no IT person to call.
What You Can Scan
- Product barcodes on boxes
- Shipping labels
- Asset tags on equipment
- Serial numbers
- Custom labels you print yourself
- QR codes for quick notes
Printing Labels
Need to create your own barcodes? Inventory Pro prints them when you need them. Label a new shipment, mark a bin location, or tag an asset - just click and print.
You can also set it up to print labels automatically when you receive stock or complete an order.
See our Supported Printers page for printers that work with Inventory Pro, from small desktop models to bigger machines.
