Prepare Barcode Data
Reliable barcode scanning starts with clean data and clear labels. Before rollout, make sure your catalog meets these standards:- Assign a unique barcode to every sellable product and variant. Do not reuse barcodes across different items.
- Remove duplicates from your catalog before enabling scanning. Conflicting barcodes cause lookup errors and slow down operations.
- Place labels where staff can scan them without opening packaging. Outer-case labels work better than inner-unit labels for bulk goods.
- Test labels under real conditions. Damaged, reflective, or very small labels may not scan reliably and should be replaced.
Mobile Workflows
Use your device camera or a connected Bluetooth scanner to complete common warehouse and retail tasks directly in MyStockPulse.- Stock Lookup
- Inventory Checks
- Picking and Fulfillment
Scan a barcode to confirm a product’s identity and review its available stock across stores. Use this when locating items on shelves or answering customer questions about availability.
Operational Guidance
Follow these practices to keep mobile scanning reliable and efficient:- Keep devices charged and connected to the internet. Offline scanning may queue data depending on your plan and release.
- Stop immediately when a scan returns the wrong or unknown product. Do not override manually until you verify the barcode and catalog entry.
- Do not share one barcode across product variants, sizes, or colors. Each variant needs its own code.
- Review manual overrides regularly. If the same product repeatedly causes scan problems, update the catalog entry or replace the label.
The mobile experience and offline capabilities depend on your current MyStockPulse release and workspace plan. Contact [email protected] if you need help confirming which features are available to your team.
