Speed up checkout times and eliminate manual entry errors by setting up a barcode scanning system for your inventory.
Typing product names or SKUs manually at the checkout counter is slow and prone to errors. Barcode scanning is the easiest way to modernize your retail store.
Steps to Implement Barcode Scanning
- Get a Scanner: Purchase a USB, Bluetooth, or wireless 2D barcode scanner.
- Generate Barcodes: Use your POS software to generate unique barcodes for items that do not have manufacturer codes.
- Print Labels: Print barcode labels using a thermal sticker printer and attach them to your products.
- Scan and Sell: Simply scan the item at the POS terminal to instantly add it to the cart.
MRKS POS includes a built-in barcode generator and supports almost all standard barcode scanners out of the box.
