Barcode scanning at the point stock moves

Connect the action on a handheld scanner with the purchase order, pallet, location or sales order it belongs to. Warehouse Zone mobile workflows help operatives check the right item at the right stage, while the office sees the resulting stock and order updates. Scanning supports a recorded workflow rather than becoming a separate list to import later.

How it works

Identify, check, record, continue

A practical sequence to explore with your warehouse, office and dispatch teams.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Read the product, pallet or location identifier.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Check it against the expected task.

  3. 03

    Record

    Update the related stock or order record.

  4. 04

    Continue

    Follow the next warehouse action.

What the workflow covers

Operational detail, connected to the bigger picture

Receiving and stock checks

Use barcode identification at goods-in, when creating pallets and during stocktakes. Location transfers retain a record of where stock moved instead of relying on a later office update.

  • Purchase receipt and pallet identification
  • Warehouse location transfers
  • Scan-led stock counts and adjustments

Picking through vehicle loading

Validate products against sales orders, build pallets and connect completed picks to loading. Exceptions such as shortages and returns remain visible to the people resolving the order.

  • Product checks against pick lists
  • Pallet building and assignment
  • Loading, dispatch and returns

Product identity where it matters

Pharmacy workflows can connect GS1/GTIN scans to medicine identities in dm+d. Barcode rules, scanners, labels and any specialist validation need to be checked together during implementation.

  • GTIN-to-AMPP workflows for pharmacy
  • Batch and expiry identification
  • Device and label format review during the demo

Can we use our current barcode scanners?

We review the scanner models, operating system, connectivity and barcode formats with you. Hardware suitability is confirmed before rollout; compatibility with every scanner is not assumed.

Do barcode scans update stock records?

Scans are used within receiving, picking, transfers and stocktake workflows. The completed action updates its related warehouse record and history.
