Does it need software installation?

Most USB scanners work as a keyboard: connect it and the code appears wherever the cursor is.

Does it read QR codes?

Only 2D scanners. Simple ones read barcodes only and cannot be upgraded.

Wired for a fixed till. Wireless for warehouse and stocktaking work, where you have to move.

Will it survive a warehouse?

Professional models state a drop rating. In a warehouse environment it is the most critical specification.

What a scanner changes day to day

Typing a code is slow and error-prone. A scanner reads in a fraction of a second and makes no typing mistakes — and at a till with a queue, that is a whole difference in customer experience.

In the warehouse, a scanner is the precondition for accurate stocktaking: you scan instead of counting and writing, and error rates fall close to zero.

And on goods receipt, cross-checking an invoice against physical stock takes minutes instead of hours.

What to check

Code type. Simple scanners read one-dimensional barcodes. If you need QR or two-dimensional codes — for vouchers, e-tickets or product marking — you need a 2D scanner. It cannot be upgraded in software.

Connection. Wired USB units work immediately as a keyboard, with no installation. Wireless ones give freedom of movement in a warehouse, at the cost of charging.

Durability. In a warehouse the scanner will be dropped. Professional models state a drop rating from a specific height — that is not marketing, it is the difference between one year and five.

The equipment works as a system

A warehouse or retail system needs three things together: a scanner to read, a label printer to print the codes, and a UPS so the till does not shut down mid-transaction.
