Why Barcodes?
Barcodes are essential tools in the use of warehouse management software, enabling efficient tracking of products within the warehouse
- Each item can be assigned a unique barcode, which can be scanned during receiving, putaway, picking, and shipping operations. This helps maintain accurate inventory records and enables real-time visibility of stock levels.
- Barcodes are used to ensure accurate and efficient order picking.
- Barcodes are used to track stock levels and trigger reorder points. When stock reaches a certain threshold, barcode scanners can be used to scan items for replenishment
- Barcodes are used on shipping labels and packages to enable seamless tracking and tracing of shipments.

Use cases
Put away and transfers
During warehouse put away, barcodes and scanner guns are used to efficiently and accurately record the location of incoming products. Warehouse staff scan the barcode on the product and the barcode on the designated storage location using a scanner gun.
This process ensures that the product is placed in the correct location and updates the warehouse management system with real-time information, enabling easy retrieval and inventory tracking. It also ensures accuracy during replenishment functions.
Leverage Technology
No more spreadsheets!
Barcodes and WMS technology reduce dependency on manual spreadsheets for inventory management. Instead of relying on manual recording and calculations, barcode scanners automatically update the central system with accurate data.
