What are barcodes?

Barcodes are a series of parallel black and white lines that allow data to be visually presented so a scanner can read it. Rather than reading tags and sorting through products, barcodes enable you to scan an item and gather information quickly. Barcodes are also used as part of the product purchasing process and can help create invoices. 

Barcodes improve the organization and accuracy of your inventory. They ensure you won't mix up or misplace individual items when used correctly. If you use a system that offers you real-time data, barcodes are a vital part of this process. Mobile scanners used to scan barcodes immediately upload information into your system keeping you up to date on product movement.
