Read full descriptionHide full description
The LogisticsOS Smart Scanner is the fastest way for mailroom and logistics teams to receive and sort parcels, right from a mobile device. Using AI and OCR, the app instantly extracts key label details, including tracking number, carrier, and recipient, helping teams eliminate manual typing and reduce handle time. Switch to Sort mode to go further: review AI-populated recipient and parcel details, correct anything that needs it, print a label, and capture a signature, all without leaving the app. Prefer to divide the work instead? Stay in Receive mode for fast scanning, and finish sorting later from the web Smart Processing screen. Key Features: - OCR-powered label capture for faster, more accurate receiving - Automatic capture of tracking number, carrier, and recipient details - Sort mode: review, correct, print a label, and capture a signature, all on your phone - Manual entry fallback if processing takes longer than expected, so you're never stuck waiting - Sync with the LogisticsOS web portal for teams who split receiving and sorting across devices

LabelDash prints 4×6 in shipping labels to a thermal label printer over Bluetooth LE or your local network. Paste a label, check it, print it — that is the whole app. REQUIRES A COMPATIBLE PRINTER TSPL/TSPL2 command set · 4×6 in gap stock · 203 dpi · Bluetooth LE or raw TCP port 9100. Not supported: Zebra/ZPL, ESC/POS, EPL, USB-only models, 300 dpi, continuous stock, black-mark stock. Check the compatibility page before you buy: https://labeldash.carljin.com/compatibility PASTE OR IMPORT Copy a label from your carrier portal, ERP, or email and paste it. Or drop in a PDF or image, open one from Files, or share it to LabelDash from another app. Multi-page PDFs load as a batch, one label per page. AUTO-CROP THAT FINDS THE LABEL Exported a full A4 or Letter page? LabelDash locates the 4×6 label inside it and frames it for print. You can always switch back to the full page. PRE-PRINT CHECK Before anything reaches the printer, LabelDash rasterizes the label and scans the result again. If a barcode on your source would come out unscannable at the current settings, it tells you — and can fix it — instead of wasting a label and getting the parcel returned. It also reminds you to calibrate the first time. CALIBRATION THAT STICKS Print a test page, drag the on-screen ruler to match what came out, done. Offsets are remembered per printer. BATCH PRINTING WITH A STOP BUTTON Print a whole PDF in one go. Stop mid-run and resume from the exact page you left off — no duplicates, no reprinting the pages that already came out. ADJUST WHAT MATTERS Margins, black-and-white threshold, print density, copies, rotate, mirror, auto-fit. Changes are saved automatically. RECENT PRINTS The last 7 days of prints stay on the device so you can reprint one without hunting for the original file. Clear them any time. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Buy once, use everywhere. On Mac paste with ⌘V and print with ⌘P. On iPhone everything sits in the thumb zone. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no analytics SDK, no tracking. Labels, addresses and tracking numbers are processed on your device and are never uploaded to the developer. Recent prints are stored locally and excluded from backups. Nine languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português (BR). Support: https://labeldash.carljin.com/support
