When launching a new product line, the marketing team must create a comprehensive catalog containing hundreds of products. Each product requires entering barcode numbers, SKUs, and product codes into catalog software. The current process involves manually typing product codes from labels, which is slow and error-prone. The catalog creation process takes days longer than necessary, delaying product launches.
Manual catalog creation requires workers to read product codes from labels and type them into catalog software, which is slow and creates opportunities for errors. A single typo in a product code can cause catalog errors, making it difficult for customers to find or order products. The process is especially time-consuming when creating large catalogs with hundreds of products.
Traditional barcode scanners could speed up catalog creation, but they're expensive and may not integrate well with catalog software. Many businesses continue using manual entry because they can't justify the cost of dedicated scanning equipment for periodic catalog creation tasks.
WiScanner streamlines catalog creation by enabling workers to scan product barcodes directly into catalog software. Workers use their smartphones to scan product labels, and the barcode data appears instantly in the catalog wherever the cursor is positioned. This eliminates typing errors and dramatically speeds up catalog creation.
The solution works with any catalog software, whether it's a web-based system, desktop application, or spreadsheet. Setup takes less than a minute, and workers can start creating catalogs immediately after installing the app. Multiple team members can scan products simultaneously, further reducing catalog creation time.
