Barcode scanning
What is barcode scanning?
Barcode scanning is the process of using optical readers (scanners or mobile devices) to capture and interpret barcode data on products, packaging, or pallets to enable digital tracking, identification, and automation.
Barcode scanning in eCommerce
In eCommerce fulfillment, barcode scanning is essential for accurate inventory control, efficient picking and packing, and real-time order tracking. It reduces human error and ensures that products are correctly identified and processed at every stage. With everstox, barcode scanning is fully integrated into the fulfillment flow – from inbound goods to outbound shipping – and synchronized across all connected warehouses and systems.
