SmartScan Mobile Scanning for 3PLs
A modern mobile scanning solution that transforms paper-based 3PLs to paperless warehouses
Barcode Scanning on Your Choice of Devices
SmartScan is a web-based mobile scanning solution for both enterprise and consumer-grade scanners (Android and iOS). SmartScan integrates directly with 3PL Warehouse Manager, so data flows both ways to reflect up-to-the-minute inventory status changes within your warehouse—offering a paperless experience for warehouse staff.
With omnichannel fulfillment becoming a bigger opportunity for 3PL warehouses, operations managers are responsible for more now than ever before. Warehouse operations require best-practice scanning technology and systems that will drive accurate and efficient receipt and order fulfillment, seamlessly integrate with WMS software to update inventory in real-time, and handle on-the-fly changes.
To increase operational efficiency, SmartScan leverages purpose-built barcode scanning technology and industry best practices to help transform paper-based, inefficient processes into streamlined workflows that capture and update meaningful inventory and transactional data as it happens.
