If you need to scan a large number of barcodes, you've found the right app. The main difference from other barcode scanners is that the barcode detection camera is always displayed on the screen. Just press the scan button (or use continuous scanning), and your barcode will be instantly saved. You can also add additional data to the scanned barcode, such as quantity, comment, expiration date, or mark it with a specific color to distinguish it. If that's not enough, you can create or import products from your inventory system - each time you scan the corresponding barcode, you'll instantly receive the relevant data about it. Key Features: 1. Various types of barcode scanners available The first type is always displayed on the screen, offering the advantage of speed as you don't have to waste time turning on the camera and opening a new screen to scan the barcode. The second scanner type opens when you press a button, which is slower, but more familiar for some users. 2. Create or import products so they can be easily identified by barcodes. Scanning the barcode displays the saved product information, including the name, price, and images. 3. Simple export and import of data Share a list of scanned barcodes or import your barcodes list into the app. Effortlessly import products from your sales or inventory system to understand which barcode was scanned, or export saved products and share them with your colleagues. 4.Easy barcode quantity tracking Keep scanning the same barcode and the quantity will increase, or simply click on the quantity and edit the value manually. 5. Handy search option. Quickly find the barcode or product using the search functionality. 6. Expired product management Add expiration dates and easily identify expired products. 7. Advanced settings Adjust advanced scanner settings to improve scanner quality, prevent the creation or merging of duplicate barcodes, and configure other settings. Discover a wide range of other powerful features in Barcodica - a user-friendly inventory barcode scanner app. Just try it. === If you have any issues, comments or suggestions, please, let me know at martinsv.dev@gmail.com === SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS If you choose to purchase Barcodica Pro, payment will be charged to your iTunes account, and your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.
