Scan It, and the Stock Already Knows
The point of a barcode is not a faster queue. It is that the thing that left the shelf and the thing the system thinks is on the shelf are the same thing, at the end of the day and at stocktake.
How it works
How scanning and stock stay together
A scan field on the terminal
The till has a barcode field alongside the category filter and the on-screen keypad, so a counter runs on a scanner rather than on searching.
Stock moves with the sale
Selling deducts from the outlet it was sold at. There is no separate stock entry to make and none to forget.
Serial and batch items
Items can be serialised or batch-managed, and product cards on the terminal show which — with batch-wise stock and expiring batch reports behind them.
Remaining quantity on the card
Each product on the terminal shows how many are left, so a cashier is not selling something the shelf ran out of an hour ago.
Down to the bin
Stock is addressable by warehouse and by bin location, and the item stock location report says which shelf to walk to.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special barcode scanner?
Any scanner that types what it reads will work — the terminal has a barcode field that takes the input like a keyboard.
Can I print barcodes from Biznify?
Yes. There is a barcode screen under point of sale, and the POS settings include a switch for printing the order number as a barcode on the receipt.
Does a sale at one outlet affect stock at another?
No. Stock is held per warehouse and outlet, and moving it between them is a warehouse transfer with its own document and its own received step.
What about items sold by weight or fraction?
Items support fractional units, and there is a unit-of-measurement conversion table for units that convert into one another.
