Hardware for receiving, picking and dispatch
Wholesale and distribution operations often have more than one scanning moment: goods received into stock, items picked for an order, labels prepared for dispatch and invoices printed at a counter. List the barcode type, scanning distance and connection requirements for each step before selecting a scanner or printer.
When to consider wireless scanning
A wireless scanner can suit work that moves away from a fixed billing counter, such as scanning cartons or items during picking. Confirm battery, charging, wireless range, barcode formats and the way the scanner enters data into the existing software before ordering.
Plan multi-counter hardware consistently
For a wholesale counter, document the terminal, scanner, receipt printer and cash-drawer requirements for every station. This makes it easier to compare individual BISON product prices and request a package quote based on the actual number of counters.
