Part Scanner

  • Updated

The part scanner allows you to count inventory by scanning barcodes. You may enter a bin location and part quantity, then scan parts using your device. You can then upload the file of barcodes, bins and quantities on your computer to update a physical inventory count.

This is accessible for both computers (with a camera) and mobile devices.
