Custom Barcode Software Development Australia

Custom Barcode Software Built for Your Workflow

Our custom barcode software is developed and supported in Australia, with solutions available across Australia and New Zealand.

Track n Trace develops custom barcode software for businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf application. We create practical barcode-scanning solutions around your workflow, data requirements and existing business systems.

Our custom barcode application experience includes:

Stocktaking and cycle counting
Picking, packing and order fulfilment
Inventory and warehouse control
Asset and equipment tracking
Attendance, ticket and access validation
Retail and POS inventory integration
Production tracking and mobile data collection

Proven Custom Barcode Applications

Track n Trace has developed practical barcode applications for stocktaking, retail inventory management, attendance tracking, access validation and warehouse order fulfilment.

These applications demonstrate how custom barcode software can connect mobile workers, rugged PDA scanners and existing business systems to improve accuracy and reduce manual data entry.

TAME Attendance, Validation and Access-Control Software

TAME – Tracking Attendance Management Software is a cloud-based barcode validation and tracking application developed by Track n Trace.

Destination NSW uses TAME during Vivid Sydney to help control vehicle access for residents living within affected areas. Approved residents receive a unique barcode that can be scanned by event staff using Track n Trace PDA barcode scanners.

When scanned, the PDA communicates with TAME to validate that the barcode belongs to an authorised resident. The application then displays relevant information, including the resident’s name and registered vehicle number plate.

This helps prevent unauthorised vehicles from entering and parking in restricted residential areas while allowing approved residents to come and go more efficiently during the event.

TAME is also used by Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racing Club and can be configured for attendance tracking, ticket validation, duplicate barcode detection, membership validation and authorised-entry control.

StockTrack and StockTrack Plus

StockTrack is an Android stocktake barcode application developed for businesses that need a straightforward way to capture physical inventory.

Users can scan a location, product barcode and quantity before exporting the completed stock count into a CSV file.

StockTrack Plus extends the application by allowing an inventory lookup file to be loaded onto the Android PDA scanner. When an item is scanned, the application can validate the barcode and display relevant product information, helping staff identify incorrect or unrecognised items during the stocktake.

StockTrack and StockTrack Plus can be supplied with compatible Android PDA barcode scanners for rental or purchase.

MobileREX for Retail Express

MobileREX was developed to give Retail Express customers mobile access to important inventory functions from an Android device.

MobileREX communicates directly with Retail Express and allows users to:

Perform minor or large-scale stocktakes
Complete rolling stock adjustments
Receive purchase orders
Check current product prices
View stock availability and locations
Scan product barcodes using an Android PDA scanner
Upload inventory information directly into Retail Express

MobileREX demonstrates how custom barcode software can extend an established POS or inventory platform by moving essential functions from the desktop onto a purpose-built mobile device.

Pick Pack Application

Track n Trace has also developed a Pick Pack application for barcode-driven warehouse order fulfilment.

Picking and packing software can help warehouse staff identify the required order, scan products as they are picked and verify that the correct items are prepared for dispatch.

This type of custom barcode application can reduce manual checking, improve picking accuracy and provide a more controlled workflow from order selection through to packing and dispatch.

What Can Custom Barcode Software Record?

A custom application can be designed to collect the exact information your business requires, including:

Product barcodes and quantities
Warehouse, location and bin identification
Employee or user identification
Order, purchase order or delivery numbers
Asset and equipment movements
Attendance and ticket information
Resident, visitor, member or vehicle validation
Date and time stamps
Picking, packing and dispatch information
Stock adjustments and inventory discrepancies
Production and process-tracking information
Custom fields specific to your business

Required fields, validation rules and user prompts can be incorporated into the workflow to help staff capture information consistently.

Online, Offline and Integrated Barcode Applications

Custom barcode software can operate online, offline or use a combination of both.

An offline application can store information directly on the PDA scanner and transfer the completed data later. This can be useful in locations with unreliable Wi-Fi or mobile coverage.

An online application can communicate with a central database or existing business platform while staff are scanning. This makes it possible to validate barcodes, display current information and update supported systems in real time.

Integration options depend on the existing software and whether it provides a suitable API, database connection or import and export functionality. We assess these requirements before recommending an approach.

Barcode Hardware and Software Working Together

A successful barcode system depends on the application and the scanning hardware working together.

Track n Trace can help select, supply and configure suitable:

Android PDA barcode scanners
Handheld mobile computers
Rugged Android tablets
Corded and cordless barcode scanners
Barcode and thermal label printers
Charging cradles, pistol grips and protective accessories

Testing the application with the recommended hardware before deployment helps reduce compatibility problems and ensures the completed system is practical for staff to use.

Our Custom Barcode Software Development Process

1. Understand Your Current Workflow

We begin by understanding what your staff currently do, where delays or errors occur, what information must be captured and where the completed data needs to go.

2. Define the Application Requirements

We document the required scanning steps, data fields, validation rules, reports and any communication needed with existing business software.

3. Develop and Test the Application

The application is developed and tested using representative data, barcodes and scanning hardware.

4. Configure and Deploy the Solution

Track n Trace can configure the recommended PDA scanners, deploy the application and help prepare the completed system for use.

5. Australian-Based Support

We provide local support and can assess additional functions or workflow changes as your operational requirements evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can custom barcode software integrate with our existing system?

Integration may be possible when the existing software provides a supported API, database connection or suitable import and export functions. We will assess the system and the information that needs to be exchanged before recommending a solution.

Can the barcode application work without Wi-Fi?

Yes. Some applications can store scans locally and transfer the information later. Other applications require a live connection to display or update current information. The best approach depends on your workflow and operating environment.

Do you also supply the PDA barcode scanners?

Yes. Track n Trace can supply or rent compatible Android PDA barcode scanners, handheld mobile computers, rugged tablets and other barcode hardware.

Can you modify one of your existing applications?

Possibly. If StockTrack, TAME or another existing application already provides most of the required functionality, modifying or extending it may be more practical than developing a completely new application.

Can you create software for a specialised workflow?

Yes. We can assess specialised barcode workflows covering stocktaking, warehouse operations, attendance tracking, access validation, picking and packing, production tracking and mobile data collection.

Good morning Tim,

Here's a testimonial for you:

At short notice, Track n Trace delivered a simple, effective scanning solution that replaced our user-unfriendly stocktaking equipment. The new system improved speed and accuracy across three warehouses, reducing a three-day stocktake to two days and freeing time for discrepancy investigations. Tim also provided outstanding customer support, always available to help when needed.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Tim

The DT66 units have demonstrated strong performance and have been very well received by both forklift operators and drivers. Users have consistently highlighted the excellent screen brightness, which remains highly effective even in full sunlight and outdoor yard environments. The touchscreen and application responsiveness have also been outstanding, delivering a smooth and efficient user experience.

Connectivity has proven to be another key strength, with Wi-Fi roaming performance significantly exceeding that of comparable devices. In addition, the extended-range models provide impressive scan distance and consistently deliver accurate barcode scans, even when labels are worn or damaged after extended transit.

I highly recommend these units.

Vellex

Vellex was est in 1985 and offers national freight distribution and logistics solutions across the eastern states of Australia. “In June 2020, we started implementing over 430 x DT50s to our drivers and agents. Due to the nature of our drivers and the environment that they work in, we found many of the devices we had invested in the past were not robust or reliable enough. The Urovo DT50s have proven to be an exception. We are now entering the fourth year with the DT50s and have recently extended their Premier Care warranty from 3yrs to 5yrs. The durability of the DT50s and the support structure being offered through Track n Trace and Aniluin (service centre) has proven to be second to none. To anyone looking to invest in the DT50s for their operations, we whole heartedly recommend not only this hardware but the support structure of Track n Trace/Aniluin that goes with it.”

"Track n Trace provided us with their Retail Express Stocktake Scanner solution. We rented 15 x stocktake scanners over a couple of days. We never needed any support from Track n Trace and instructions provided on email were great to get us going. Truly a very simple system. Worth looking at if you want to get away from a traditional paper and pen stocktake proess and save money and time by using stocktake scanners provided by Track n Trace"

Deep Gautam, Marketing Manager

Dollars & Sense

"We were recommended by Retail Express to use the stocktake solution that Track n Trace Solutions offers. We had a national stocktake to carry out and were looking for a very efficient way to do this. We found this with the RK25 PDA Android Scanner as well as a customized stocktake application (REX Stocktake App) written by Track n Trace. Not only were the RK25s easy to use, but they made the whole stocktake exercise much easier than we have ever experienced. The REX stocktake app was also very easy for our staff to use. The support also provided by Track n Trace was second to none. Even though our data against our barcodes in our system, was not captured and scanned under the usual procedures, Track n Trace were able to still investigate this and come up with a solution and configuration that worked great for the scanners and our stocktake. On most occasions. Track n Trace responded to any support call we made almost instantly This efficiencies the Track n Trace stocktake solution provided us, helped us save many hours and dollars. It also gave us many ideas where we can add other scanning functions in the near future. Such as re-labeling, order fulfillment, receiving orders….etc etc., We look forward to working with Track n Trace to help us continue improving our business efficiencies in all areas of barcode scanning."

Peter Ruhle , Director

Hi Tim, Just a quick note to let you know how impressed I am with the RK25s and our new stocktake process. We have done all 4 stores now, and have seen a massive change in the time required to complete these. We were accustomed to closing a store for the day and working with 10 staff working in groups of 2. This would always take us a full day, plus data entry time. When using the RK25 PDAs, our largest store was finished at 3pm including Data transfer and our easiest was complete by 1pm. All where done with the stores still trading. We achieved this with 5 staff (not 10) each armed with an RK25. Not only have there been significant staff cost savings in time and staff numbers, but being able to continue to trade was also a big positive. There is no doubt that we now have our stock under control by using what are the easiest stocktake tools I have ever used. You were also a great help in getting things set up for me (including answering some silly question) which made the whole process so much easier and effective. Thanks for all you help Track n Trace. Many Thanks

When Workshop Events first approached Track ‘n’ Trace 3 years ago for a scanning solution for one of our largest clients it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’d made. The event required fast and accurate scanning of over 2000 pax over a relatively short space of time. Apart from supplying the best hardware/software for the job, Track n Trace have consistently gone over and above with ongoing customer support to ensure that the scanning component was set-up properly and ran smoothly. TAME Software solution gave us and our client an immeasurable amount of comfort given that there is no time for malfunctions on the day - the scanning had to work first time every time - and it did. We look forward to introducing our other clients to Track ‘n’ Trace scanning solutions as required.

"The University of New South Wales holds two graduation festivals a year, and at our largest festival we have 5500 students attending bringing over 15,000 guests to 27 separate ceremonies run inside 10 days! We needed a way to ensure that the barcoded tickets we emailed out could be validated to prevent duplication, help us identify if guests had attended the wrong ceremony, and also track how many guests were attending without any kind of prior guest registration (not like a conference!). Our guest seating is first in best dressed, so our solution had to be something that could get around 700 people through the door and their tickets validated in around 20 minutes . Our ceremonies are staffed by more than 180 different volunteers from around the University and so it also needed to be intuitive enough to be used with less than 5 minutes training. TAME handled all of our requirements without a single problem. The interface and setup was extremely clean and straightforward and fast, but still provided plenty of flexibility. The team at Track n Trace were absolutely fantastic in the lead up to our event answering any questions we had immediately. I have every confidence that their support at our event would have been similarly excellent, but everything worked exactly as we'd been told it would, and no support was required. The support number programmed into my phone went completely un-dialed. We will definitely be using Track n Trace and their TAME software again in the future!" "In August this year (2014) we held a roadshow seeing just over 450 clients. Previously we have manually created name badges to place into the holders for each client across each event and asked our attendee’s to record their attendance on a registration sheet upon entry. Using Track n Trace's barcode scanners and barcoded name badges for this event provided an easy, stress free registration and attendance process that our staff and clients loved! We will never do this as a manual process again. I highly recommend the company and their products/services! "

The Tame Tracking software worked fabulous for our event. In previous years, we did manual rolls for 800 students, and this year the scanning saved us 30-45 minutes each day. Every single student were in their workshops ready to start by 9am and we only opened the registration desks at 8.30am. That is 1000 students scanned in within 30 minutes. Thank you again for you time and patience with us over the week we used this.

Industries across the world are riding the wave of digitization. Like any other progressive enterprise, we need to keep up with the changing times by adopting new technologies into our business process. To do so, we offer our students special packages that would provide tablets to access study materials and files. We are happy with the way 42Gears products have ensured that the devices are only used for the educational intent they were meant for. Using 42Gears UEM tool, we are able to easily update and manage our app content, while keeping our tablets in secure lockdown.

Track n Trace wrote a custom software stocktake application for us back in March 2019. They provided this custom application stocktake software with the RK25 Android PDA scanners. To this date, both PDA scanners and software are going great. They have provided us with a huge improvementt on efficienies when doing stocktake and saved us many hours.

12. June, 2024.

Implementing a rolling stocktake system and live tracking on our manufacturing schedules, Track N Trace shone with their professional approach. From the initial concept stage right through to programming our software, the support was outstanding. With our new user-friendly devices (PDA Scanners) we have all the tracking we ever dreamed of, plus more! No hesitation in recommending Track N Trace to any scanning solutions, of any scale.

Metro North Hospital and Health Service region recently procured Track n Trace Solutions in 2015, to develop tools to assist with verification of plant and equipment on our fixed asset register. This solution has already shown the potential for improved business efficiencies. No paper. No pens. No data entry. Just scanning and uploading the data after the asset audit, quickly and efficiently back to a database. Track n Trace are always there to support if required. Based also on our feedback to Track n Trace since initially being deployed, the fixed asset management solution has evolved over the short period we have been using it.We believe this will continue to evolve as we also continue to fine tune our business processes and ask for more features and updates.

“Track n Trace provided the scanners for our Trade Show in Brisbane. They were easy to use and we experienced no technical difficulties. All we had to do was assign barcodes and the scanners did the rest. We had really positive feedback from our exhibitors at the Trade Show saying that it was a quick and easy way to retain the details of people who visited their stand. All in all was a good turn out and we would definitely recommend Track n Trace to other organisations. Thank you very much!”

George P Johnson (Australia)

“Thank you to for providing a fantastic service. We really appreciated all your efforts in organising these scanners for us and at such late notice. Everything went well with the event and was a great success with the help of your scanners. Hope to do business again in the future and good luck with everything.”

Mike Langford

“An incredible level of customer service way beyond my expectations. As newcomers to scanning and barcoding, we needed both the technology as well as guidance on selecting the right option and getting it up and running. Track n Trace provided this in a friendly and responsive manner, offering flexibility to meet our needs and showing a genuine interest in helping us succeed. In particular, a great customer service experience offered by Track n Trace.”

“I have no problems at all in providing my details as a reference for your Wasp asset management system and for your person service to us. We undergo an audit of organisation every two years as do the rest of the aboriginal health services across Australia. We received one of the best results right across the nation and one of the areas where we exceeded standards was in our asset management particularly because of the program and hardware we were able to show the auditors. Congratulations to yourself again as your personal approach to the support you offer us is outstanding.”

“We have been using the Wasp MobileAsset Software for tracking of asset for one year and four months now. We also use the CipherLab 9300 terminals with it for mobile transactions. The system has proved to be very reliable and improved our business efficiencies immensely. No more paper and pens to record which has saved time, reduced errors and saved money. The support has been great and provided whenever needed as well. Though we have not really needed them as the software and hardware take care of themselves.”

Antonio D’Alisa QA/QC Manager

Track n Trace; What a fabulous company – From the word go Track n Trace offered a very professional and flexable service to fully accomodate our requirements. Not only did the staff provide clear and concise information and communication, but they wen’t above and beyond to make sure we were fully equiped and confident with the products and services we required. They met all of our strict time lines and criteria, and did everything possible to provide us with anything and everything we needed for our stocktake, and for that we will always recommend this company and continue to use them for all future services. Thanks again for the worderful experience from Track n Trace

12. June, 2024.

“We normally take 2 days with 6 staff members (16hrs x 6 staff =96hrs). With your scanners, it took 8 hours, 3 staff members (8hrs x 3 staff = 24hrs). We also didn’t need to lose 2 days trading. Thanks so much Track n Trace, we will be referring your equipment and company. We will also be using your business next time. And thank you again , it’s nice to get a product that does what it’s meant to do.” Ta

Hi Guys I would just like to send this through as a testimonial to your company. From the outset I would have to say that the response and support were second to none. With my initial enquiry being followed up with a phone call within half an hour, and from there on it just kept coming. Track n Trace gratefully talked me through the process and even followed up with calls to check on my progress throughout the stocktake period. In the past I have done all my store stocktakes manually, this would normally take 2 teams of 3, two weeks to do in our 400 mtr floor space plus store room. With the PDA scanner supplied from Track N Trace my stocktake was complete in 4 days by just using one person. Just the saving in wages alone is a reason to use this method and this was done while we were still open for trading (no closures required- Amazing). This is invaluable and something I will use more frequently so as to track better stock movement in the future. Once again a big thanks to you, Track n Trace for your support.

12. June, 2024.

“Would like to give you some feedback on the how the use of the Track n Trace scanners has improved the accuracy and reduced the downtime whilst performing a Stocktake. As you know AirRoad Logistics is a 3PL warehouse provider. The Stocktake performed last year for one customer took 12 hours with 15 people Involved Nationally. This year the Stocktake count was completed in 3 hours nationally. With an additional hour for reconciliation. A saving of 8 hours x 15 people. (66% Savings in Labour Costs) The programming loaded into the scanners ensured that we were able to ensure the user was collecting the right information thus reducing human error. We also found the service you offered met and exceeded our expectations. Thanks again for your continued support”
