Katana's warehouse app offers a scanning feature that allows users to quickly scan barcodes for efficient inventory management. This feature simplifies stock movements, order fulfillment, and inventory tracking by instantly updating records through barcode scanning.
Through scanning, warehouse operators can increase their speed and accuracy when working with barcodes and scanners. Katana's warehouse app supports both infrared scanners (internal & external) as well as cameras.
How to scan using the warehouse app
With Pick&pack tasks, only registered and batch barcodes can be scanned and with receiving tasks, operators can scan supplier barcodes.
