Scanners
Overview
You can use barcode scanners to quickly enter barcoded products into the POS and Warehouse Management (WMS).
Scanners act as a keyboard, typing in a number and pressing enter. Scanning an item will search for an item, and then enter it into a your POS or WMS fields.
Cin7 Omni recommends Zebra CS60 Series Companion which we have tested with both POS and WMS. Other scanners may work with Cin7 Omni, but should be tested before purchasing.
