Scan products, asset tags, shelf labels, GS1 Digital Links, PDF417 codes, Wi-Fi QR codes, contact cards, event QR codes, or NFC tags. Then track stock, build pick lists, run inspections, sync rows, print labels, and generate custom codes. SCANATLAS AI ASSISTANT - Ask ScanAtlas AI about inventory, scans, and analytics for grounded insights, workflow guidance, and reports. - Conversations and retrieved data stay on your device; after setup, the assistant works offline. - Review and confirm actions before ScanAtlas updates inventory, moves stock, changes history, or exports reports.
