Choose Your Barcode Inventory Management Software With Care

By Bernadette Martin


Using barcodes are becoming more and more of a necessity to keep ahead of demands in any business. It is imperative to keep an up to date record of all stock and to know when one item needs to be replaced due to supplies becoming low. That is why so many businesses and companies are now investing in barcode inventory management software to help keep track of all products.

There are a few of these barcode software's available to download for free and many of them are compatible with twenty five different formats. Others are able to let one create and print custom made barcodes easily. With Shopify the online barcode maker is very simple and easy to use and lets one keep track of products and well as organise each item properly.

With each of these versions there is a lifetime technical support and the PC client licenses for the Standard is only one. The Professional stays at five and the Enterprise is unlimited. The mobile licenses are constant at one for the Standard and Professional but goes up to five with the Enterprise.

The starting price for a one time user is about one thousand dollars and is available for a free trial. There is training available in document form as well as in person and live online. There is a support system during business hours for those needing help.

Any purchase orders are picked up as well as the tracking with the Professional and Enterprise but omitted in the Standard version. There is also the ability to be able to track any non inventory items making it easier for the Warehouse Manger. The only version that is Microsoft SQL server compatible is the Enterprise so careful consideration needs to be taken before choosing the correct package for ones company.

There are a variety of different barcode scanners that will ensure quick work and the different makes are from Motorola, Honeywell, Intermec and Datalogic. The Datalogic Gryphon 1 GM4400-HC 2D is cordless and has a range up to thirty metres. The radio frequency is available in either 910 MHz or 433 MHz.
