Barcode Inventory

When an e-commerce website has a high sales volume, manual inventory processes can be prohibitively long.

A barcode scanner can save you a considerable amount of time if your products are labeled with a barcode on the packaging.

If your products don't come with a barcode label, you can create your own using our Barcode Label Extension

User Case 

In the Logistic Center, stock levels are constantly being increased or decreased. When performed manually, these tasks are time-consuming and can result in stock errors.

Supplier deliveries can arrive when the warehouse is experiencing a rush. Adding the newly received products can take a lot of time when you have to manually select the product in your Magento 2 back-end and apply the quantity received. Errors are prevalent with this method.

Add a barcode scanner to the process to save precious time and eliminate errors. The Barcode Inventory extension for Magento 2 will allow you to pick up and scan any product, straight from the delivery truck. The system automatically identifies the product and increases the stock quantity by 1 unit. Simply re-scan the product for every unit in the delivery.

Detailed Features

Principles

The best way to identify a product is by using a barcode scanner. With Barcode Inventory
, you can scan product barcodes and update inventory quickly and accurately.
As soon as you scan a barcode, the product will appear instantly, requiring no additional search.

Barcode inventory
supports all USB Barcode Scanners and offers 3 configurations to update inventory:

• Increase Mode: Each time you scan a barcode, the stock level is increased by 1. This mode is very effective for restocking or during a purchase order reception.
• Decrease Mode: Each time you scan a barcode, the stock level is decreased by 1. This mode is mainly used to update inventory for sales.
• Manual Mode: Scan the barcode and manually enter the new stock level. This mode helps for stock intake and inventory control.

How does it work? 

• The first step is to configure Barcode Inventory to select the Magento attribute that contains the barcodes. Once done, you can start using the extension immediately.
• Choose a Default Mode for Scan action (Increase / Decrease / Manual) if required
• Go into Menu> Product > Barcode Inventory, to prepare the system for scanning.
• On each Barcode scan, the system retrieves the product and displays the information on the screen. If no product is found, an error message is displayed and a tone will ring to signal that the barcode is not recognized.
• Each scan is logged at the bottom, with the product information and the new stock level.
• Once you are finished with the updates, click on the save button to update product inventories.
• If you need to modify the scan action, simply click on the corresponding button to change the mode.
