Stocktake Scanners for Faster Barcode Stock Counts

Stocktake scanners are rugged handheld mobile computers used to capture physical stock quantities during stocktakes, cycle counts and inventory audits. Instead of recording counts on paper and manually entering them later, staff can scan each product barcode and enter or confirm the quantity directly on the device.

Track n Trace supplies Android stocktake scanners for retail stores, warehouses, distribution centres and other businesses that need a faster, more reliable method of collecting stock-on-hand information.

How Does a Stocktake Barcode Scanner Work?

A stocktake barcode scanner combines an Android mobile computer with an integrated barcode scanning engine. A stocktake application installed on the device determines what information is collected, such as:

• Product barcode or SKU
• Stock location
• Counted quantity
• User or staff identification
• Date and time of the count
• Additional notes or customised data fields

The completed count can then be exported to CSV or transferred to the relevant inventory system, depending on the application being used. The stocktake results can be compared with the quantities recorded in the business system to identify shortages, overages and other discrepancies.

The scanner collects the information, while the stocktake application and inventory system determine how the results are processed and whether a variance report is produced.

Choosing a Handheld Stocktake Scanner

The right handheld stocktake scanner depends on your working environment, barcode types, software and preferred method of data entry.

Important considerations include:

• Full-touchscreen or physical-keypad operation
• Standard-range or extended-range barcode scanning
• 1D and 2D barcode support
• Barcode size, quality and scanning distance
• Retail, warehouse or cold-storage conditions
• Battery life and shift duration
• Pistol grips, charging cradles and protective accessories
• Compatibility with your stocktake application
• Number of scanners required
• Short-term rental or ongoing purchase

Compact full-touch models can be comfortable for retail stocktakes and general inventory counting. Physical-keypad models can provide more positive data entry in busy or demanding environments. Pistol grips may also improve comfort when staff need to scan large numbers of products or cartons.

Stocktake Software and Custom Applications

A PDA stocktake scanner requires an application to record the barcode and quantity information. The scanner hardware alone does not determine compatibility with Shopify, Retail Express, Cin7 or another POS, ERP or inventory platform.

Track n Trace offers several stocktake software options, including our Android Stocktake Barcode Software Solutions.

Our free StockTrack Android application can capture location, barcode and quantity information and export the completed data to CSV. Custom stocktake software programs are also available when your business requires barcode validation, product lookup information, additional fields, specialised reports or a workflow tailored to your existing system.

Talk to us about your current inventory system and how the completed stocktake data needs to be transferred. We can help determine whether an existing application, CSV-based process or custom solution is the most appropriate option.

Rent or Buy Stocktake Scanners

Buying stocktake scanners is generally suitable for businesses performing regular cycle counts, stock adjustments or ongoing inventory operations. Short-term rental can be more economical for annual stocktakes, EOFY audits, temporary projects or situations where many devices are required for only a few days.

Track n Trace supplies stocktake scanners for rental or purchase Australia-wide. Devices can be configured and tested before dispatch, helping your team begin counting with minimal setup.

We are not simply a webstore moving boxes. Track n Trace is backed by 24 years of barcode, mobile data-capture and systems-integration experience. We help businesses select suitable scanner hardware, configure the devices and match them with the appropriate stocktake software.
