No. PC mode uses local Wi‑Fi to type into desktop apps. Cloud inventory management stores shared sheets online so every teammate sees live rows in the browser and app.
Cloud inventory management with barcodes
Keep one live inventory sheet for your company. Staff scan barcodes on the WiScanner phone app; managers edit columns, filters and roles in the browser at cloud.wiscanner.com. This is shared cloud storage—not local Wi‑Fi typing into Excel on a PC.
Who it’s for
Wholesalers, stock rooms and multi-person teams who need the same on-hand numbers on every phone—not a file emailed at closing time.
The problem
Desktop spreadsheets go stale the moment someone scans stock elsewhere. Copying rows between devices creates duplicates and conflicting quantities.
How it works
- Create a Cloud sheet — Sign in at cloud.wiscanner.com and start from the Inventory template or a blank sheet.
- Define fields — Keep barcode as the key; add quantity, location, min stock and any custom columns your process needs.
- Scan from the phone — Open the same company sheet in the WiScanner mobile app and scan barcodes to update live rows.
- Collaborate — Invite teammates with appropriate roles so warehouse and office see the same data.
Example sheet fields
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
Barcode / Name | Item key scanned from the phone |
Quantity | On-hand count updated by scans or edits |
Location | Bin, aisle or store |
Min Stock Level | Reorder threshold visible on the web |
Price / Total | Optional value fields and formulas |
What you get
- One shared sheet instead of versioned Excel files
- Phone scanning into cloud rows—no PC client required for Cloud mode
- Custom columns without writing software
- Team seats and activity history on paid plans
Cloud vs local PC scanning
Local Wi‑Fi PC mode types barcodes into Excel or ERP on the same network and does not require Cloud. Use Cloud when multiple people need the same online sheet.
