How Do I Use the Mobile App for Barcode Scanning?
The mobile app uses your phone's camera as a barcode scanner for fast product lookups and warehouse operations.
How to Scan
- Open any screen with a scan icon (product search, receiving, picking, etc.)
- Tap the barcode scanner icon
- Point your camera at the barcode
- Hold steady — the scan happens automatically
- The product is identified and loaded
