## What is CodeCheckGS?

For more than 8 years, our app Barcode-Check has been ensuring secure and efficient business processes in compliance with global standards...

After 2 years of development, we have reached the next level for data checking of your barcodes and labels with CodeCheckGS. The supported specifications has been expanded so that HIBC, IFA and ANSI can now also be used in addition to GS1. The new scan archive ensures that previous scans can be checked at any time for tracebility, the support of Cognex scanners for difficult barcodes and optional available watch apps makes the package complete.

CodeCheckGS validates whether the information in the barcode corresponds to the requirements of the specification and supports you with further important information about the identifier. This is done for GS1 barcodes (GS1-128 and GS1-Datamatrix), HIBC primary and secondary codes, and IFA barcodes. For ANSI MH10.8.2 identifiers we are displaying all information.

----------------------------------------------

The main functions...

>>> Fast selection of functions via selection buttons in the start screen

>>> Own barcode scanners depending on specification (GS1, HIBC, IFA and ANSI)

>>> Normal barcode scanner that is also available without a subscription

>>> Library for ANSI and GS1 identifiers with identifier details and characteristics

>>> Scan archive with access to all previous scans with filter and search

>>> Detailed inline help with all important information including configurations

>>> Two scan engines to choose from for advanced barcode recognition

>>> Optimized operation for many scans: tap to scan and swipe to return

>>> Display of identifier characteristics as text and symbol

>>> For GS1 barcodes, required and invalid combinations are also displayed

>>> An integrated report shows validation result in one overview

>>> Reports can be printed out or sent as an email

>>> The header in the reports can be configured for each user

>>> The recognized barcode can also be viewed later as an image in the archive

>>> Images with barcodes can be sent to CodeCheckGS for evaluation

### 5/5 — Incredibly Useful App

*2024-05-28*

For anybody involved in the world of barcodes, this is a must have application.

I’ve been using it since the original version, and nothing else comes close.

I would however love to see the app expand to be able to validate GS1 digital link barcodes as well as the existing ones.

That would really make it complete.
