The Barkode App has been designed to allow Dell KACE customers to scan their Assets and update any field they have created for their Asset Types. For full functionality KACE customers are able to purchase and install a Barkode Virtual Appliance, which will host, connect and enable locally the number of licensed devices procured for use. Once downloaded, the Barkode App on initial login screen, will have a Demo Button available, which will connect to the Demo Barkode Appliance in the Cloud. For the purpose of testing the Barkode App we have made available some sample barcodes, which can be downloaded, printed and scanned. The sample barcodes are found here: https://indigomountain.co.uk/scanme These barcodes are working barcodes and will successfully retrieve Data from the Demo Dell KACE K1000 linked to the Demo Barkode Appliance. To complete the demo you are then able to re-scan the Asset barcode to verify that the data has changed. Also you can log onto the Demo K1000 at https://barKodeK1.indigomountain.co.uk/admin/ Username - barkode, Password - barkode. This will give you read access the the demo K1000 and can view you assets being created / updated.

The iOS Label Reader App for SAP® Business ByDesign allows you to scan your SAP Business ByDesign labels and read the information held by the system for that label, such as product ID, description, quantity, etc. It has been designed to be really simple to use and to use the app, you only need to click the “Scan Label” button! The app supports many barcode types although it is recommended to use QR codes if possible as these will decode these much quicker and from a further distance than 1D barcodes.
