Our Android Scanner App

Motive

In theory, Odoo has a web interface that can be accessed and used with a tablet. The classic way to manage your inventory is, of course, by means of a dedicated PC. The obvious problem with this scenario is that a PC does not offer any kind of mobility, and using the web browser on the tablet is not really convenient, due to its small screen size. Finally, a warehouse generally has only limited access to the Internet, if at all.

Openfellas have developed a solution to this problem in form of a Scanner App. This App can be installed on any barcode scanner running with Android.

Offline availability
Identification of delivery notes

Details

A user only needs to be online for the log-in. After that, all data is synchronized and now also available offline. Delivery notes featuring barcodes can be scanned and identified immediately. This applies to both incoming and outgoing deliveries. The individual items on each delivery note are displayed with the respective quantities. The EAN of each product will be scanned and automatically pre-picked. Once the delivery note is complete, you will receive a visual signal and the status will be changed to delivered. If an incorrect product has been scanned, you will also receive a visual signal. It is of course also possible to confirm an incomplete delivery note and thus to initiate a partial delivery.

If required, serial numbers can be recognized or de-recognized together with the product delivery during the entire process. For incoming deliveries, each new product and its corresponding barcode will be registered, as long as it is not yet listed in the inventory master. The same applies to the serial number management.

If you are working with serial numbers, they may be scanned and registered already during the booking process. Overbooking will give a visual signal. The scanner has to be online again when you are logging out, otherwise it is not possible to synchronize bookings and changes in inventory.

The display is designed to match the size of a touch-screen, providing a functional, mobile and user-friendly solution.
