The traditional connection between barcode scanning and handheld devices and local software is disappearing because the cloud revolution is underway. The adoption of cloud-based inventory and data systems by businesses has eliminated the need for scanning to remain confined to on-premise systems. The technology has evolved into a mobile system which provides enhanced connected capabilities.
What Is Cloud-Based Scanning?
Your barcode scans transmit directly to the cloud infrastructure which enables access from any platform and location by all teams. This allows for:
- Real-time syncing across systems
- Mobile data access from anywhere
- Centralised dashboards and reporting
The technology proves especially beneficial for businesses operating across multiple locations and having employees who work remotely as well as those handling dynamic inventory movements.
Industries Leading the Shift
The adoption of cloud-based scanning technology continues to rise among various sectors including:
- Retail: Central inventory control across multiple stores
- Logistics: Instant updates from the field
- Manufacturing: Cloud-based MES integration
- Healthcare: Remote access to scanned patient or supply data
According to Forbes cloud operations management adoption increased by more than 40% throughout the last two years and barcode scanning functions as a vital component of this evolution.
Why It Works
Cloud-based tools enable ScanAvenger scanners to deliver operational performance data in real-time beyond basic input functionality. Through real-time dashboards and analytics and alerts managers can access information without needing to stay within specific offices or systems.
The Cloud Is Calling
Your competitors’ transition to cloud technology makes maintaining outdated systems an organizational weakness. Your business will achieve agility and scalability and future readiness through the adoption of cloud-based scanning solutions.
