Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Aid Tracking
Can I use my pre-existing database of inventory?
Absolutely. You can import your database manually. You can also auto-import your data from third-party service providers. Alternatively, you can integrate CodeREADr with your server to send and receive information directly.
Can we use NFC tags instead of printed labels?
Absolutely. If your device supports NFC technology, you can use it for tracking instead of scanning barcodes. Learn more about reading and validating NFC here.
How can I prevent duplicate additions to our database?
Use the Duplicate Checking feature, which validates scanned barcodes. The system alerts users if an item has already been added, ensuring no duplication.
Can we add photos or additional information to items in the database?
Yes! The Questions feature allows users to attach notes or answers to specific questions (e.g., item condition, location). Learn more about collecting data with questions here.
Can I track user activity and responsibility for items?
Yes! You can:
- Create unique user accounts.
- Manage user access to specific workflows
- View the history of scanned items by user for better accountability.
Can we manage inventory levels by scanning items in and out?
Yes. Use the Auto Increment/Decrement feature to adjust inventory counts as items are scanned in or out.
Is pricing based on the number of assets we have?
No. Pricing is based on the number of devices used:
- Each device logged in during the billing cycle counts as one unit.
- Plans are flexible and you can upgrade and downgrade as needed
- All paid plans include unlimited scans.
What if there’s no internet connection at the site?
CodeREADr works offline, allowing you to:
- Verify tickets or assets against a local database.
- Sync data once the device reconnects to the internet.
Do we need to print labels for assets?
If your assets already have barcodes (e.g., UPC), you can use them. For unlabeled items:
- Attach custom barcodes using a third-party vendor (e.g., ID&C).
- Generate barcodes directly within CodeREADr if needed.
Can we display additional info (e.g., photos) after scanning a label?
Yes! You can:
- Use record scan services to display custom information after a scan.
- Embed remotely hosted images in response text using Webify formatting.
Can we generate daily reports for asset data?
Yes. The Scans page allows you to:
- Filter scan records by timestamp or user.
- Export reports to Excel, Google Sheets, and other formats.
How can we update inventory details in the app?
Use the Table Builder service type to edit item details directly. This feature links responses to barcode values, making data updates seamless.
Can we customize the app interface?
Yes. Customize the app’s appearance to:
- Display your company logo.
- Publish the app under your organization’s name
- Modify response text for scanned items.
- White labeling options are available, both free and paid.
Do we need special hardware for scanning?
CodeREADr is compatible with most devices. This includes iOS, Android, and mobile computers. Check the device requirements for CodeREADr here.
