Smartscan vs. Scanflow

Since the turn of the millennium, Baus Systems has been enhancing QuickBooks by introducing programs that incorporate barcoding technology. Our SmartScan product line includes features such as barcode scanning and printing, which help ensure accurate verification during shipping and receiving processes, while also simplifying physical inventories and cycle counting. By leveraging these innovative tools, businesses can greatly enhance their inventory precision and reduce the likelihood of expensive errors. You can verify that the items listed on your sales orders or invoices match those being dispatched by using a barcode scanner, mobile device, or through manual checks. In the same way, you can confirm that the items detailed in your purchase orders correspond with those being delivered, using a barcode scanner, mobile computer, or manual confirmation methods. Conducting physical counts, cycle counts, and inventory audits becomes much easier with a mobile device at your disposal. QuickBooks automatically updates inventory as items are sold or received, which helps streamline operations significantly. You have the option to utilize barcodes from existing manufacturers or develop a custom internal numbering system for your barcodes, providing greater flexibility and control over your inventory management. This all-encompassing strategy will not only save you time but also foster better decision-making in managing your inventory processes. Ultimately, such enhancements in efficiency can lead to improved overall business performance.
