Inventory Management with a Cycle Count and Inventory Audit App

What Can a Cycle Count and Inventory Audit App Do For You?

Efficiently perform cycle counts and inventory audits across multiple locations simultaneously by using our app to scan barcodes, record item quantities, capture photos, and gather relevant data. You can also compare these results against existing inventory records.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inventory Audits

Can the app compare physically counted quantities against a list?

Yes, the mobile app ensures count accuracy by verifying it against a list that you can download directly onto your scanning device. For detailed instructions, download our PDF guide here or check out our blog post with helpful visual guides about inventory audits.

Is it possible to use my existing inventory database?

Absolutely. You have the flexibility to manually or automatically import your existing database into the app. You can also integrate with CodeREADr to directly exchange data with your server.

Do we need to print new labels for our assets?

If your assets already have barcodes, our app can read them and link them to the corresponding item information in your database. If your assets are not yet labeled, you will need to attach barcode or NFC labels. Many customers use third-party vendors such as Maverick Label or Imagetek for label printing. You can then upload the barcode values from these labels into your database or scan them individually during audits.

How does the app handle duplicate scans?

To prevent duplicate scans, enable the duplicate checking feature in your workflow settings. You can set a reset period for this feature—be it every minute, hour, or day—to suit your audit frequency.

Can additional data be added during an audit, like photos or comments?

Yes, adding photos, comments, or any other relevant data on-site is a standard feature of our app to enhance the details captured during your audits.

Can I track who scanned each item and where?

Each user can have a unique username to track who scanned each item. Users can also record the location of each scan by responding to a prompt during their session.

Is there a way to generate reports after completing an audit?

Yes, you can generate detailed reports from the Scans page, where you can filter and view records, see the details of each scan, and export this data using customized templates to third-party services.

Can audits be conducted globally and in real-time?

Definitely. Our app supports real-time audits across thousands of locations worldwide, allowing simultaneous scanning by countless devices.

How does the app ensure scanning accuracy?

The app is designed for maximum accuracy with features like database validation, RegEx pattern validation, precise barcode reading, edge computing, and custom validation settings.

Can the app be customized to match my company’s branding?

What determines the pricing of the app?

Our pricing model is based on the number of devices used, not on the number of assets scanned. Charges apply per device logged into the app during your billing cycle, with the count resetting monthly for flexibility.

Is special hardware required to scan assets?

No special hardware is needed. CodeREADr is compatible with common devices like iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, as well as dedicated mobile computers. You are free to use purchased devices or personal devices of app users.

What if there is a poor internet connection at the audit location?

The CodeREADr app operates effectively both offline and online, ensuring reliable performance regardless of internet connectivity.
