CodeREADr KEY
Read full descriptionHide full description
The codeREADr KEY app is a native app that works in the background allowing your authorized app-users to quickly and accurately scan barcode data into the form fields of native and web applications. Itβs an enterprise-grade tool with sophisticated technology designed to increase your field workerβs productivity with fast data capture and error-reduction. You configure the app in the cloud based on your specific data capture requirements. Once installed your authorized app-users will sign into the app with the credentials you create for them on the codeREADr website. You can have them use the default mode (a simple scan mode) or you can pre-configure the app for more advanced scanning modes (Batch, Framing, Selecting, Targeting) and a Smart Scan filter (or filter sets) so they capture only the correct barcode(s) in the right context. The codeREADr KEY app can be used alone or together with the main codeREADr app (also in the App Store) which allows you to create your own workflows for data collection and databases for validation. To use codeREADr KEY you must have a Paid Plan on codeREADr.com with SD PRO activated. You can upgrade and downgrade as needed. If you would like to demo the app before signing up for a paid plan, please email support@codereadr.com to request demo credentials.
