Barcode Blues

Barcode scanning is often a helpful tool–especially when you have to do an inventory as part of an inspection. But inefficient, expensive, or limited barcode scanning capabilities cause more headaches than they solve.

Inspect Point’s barcode functionality doesn’t discriminate when it comes to what barcodes you use. You can buy a cheap roll of 1000 barcodes or even cut barcodes off books, water bottles, or anything else and tape them to valves or devices for use–no complex system necessary.
