Use Case
Inventory barcode scanning & labels
A barcode inventory system replaces manual SKU lookup with instant product identification through scanning, generation, and label printing. Teams receive stock faster, count more accurately, and eliminate the transcription errors that come from typing codes by hand. Stocklyst turns any smartphone into a scanner, generates barcodes for items that do not have one, and prints professional labels on standard templates — all within the same workspace.
01 — In Practice
How teams use this in practice
Receiving with a phone camera
A warehouse team opens the Stocklyst scanner on their smartphone, points it at an incoming box, and instantly sees the matching SKU with quantity and zone breakdown. No dedicated hardware required.
Generating barcodes for unlabeled items
A retailer brings in handmade goods without existing barcodes. Stocklyst auto-generates internal Code 128 labels, or assigns EAN-13 or UPC-A formats when needed — each validated before saving.
Printing shelf and shipping labels
A distributor prints warehouse shelf tags on Avery sheets and shipping labels on Zebra rolls from the same system. Choose a template, pick which fields to show, and export to PDF.
Scan-to-verify transfers
During a branch transfer, the sending team scans each item out and the receiving team scans them in. The movement trail stays clean and both locations see updated quantities in real time.
