Yes. The WiScanner app reads common 1D and 2D codes; use whatever label you print as the row key.
Build a barcode database your team can scan into
Treat each barcode as a database key. WiScanner Cloud stores rows with the columns you choose; phones add and update records by scanning instead of typing IDs.
Who it’s for
Ops teams who need a lightweight product or asset registry keyed by barcode or QR—not a developer-built database.
The problem
Shared drives fill with inconsistent SKU lists. Without a barcode key, lookups fail on the floor.
How it works
- Create the sheet — Blank sheet or a Cloud template that matches your records.
- Set the key column — Use barcode / asset ID as the unique identifier.
- Add attributes — Name, category, location, owner, condition—whatever you track.
- Capture on site — Scan to find or create rows from the WiScanner app.
Example sheet fields
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
Barcode / Asset ID | Unique key |
Name | Description |
Category | Grouping |
Location / Owner | Assignment |
Condition / Notes | Status fields |
What you get
- Database semantics without SQL
- Scan-to-lookup on the floor
- Browser editing for office staff
- Export when you need a snapshot
Cloud vs local PC scanning
A Cloud barcode database is shared online. Logging products only into a local Excel file via PC mode does not give other phones a live lookup unless you move that file to Cloud or another shared store.
