Do you find yourself drowning in a sea of barcodes, spending countless hours cross-referencing paper lists with physical assets? You have thousands of items, each tagged with hundreds of barcode labels. You hold a document containing a lengthy inventory, complete with barcode numbers, names, and quantities.

Inventory Items to verify
Yikes! Am I supposed to verify these items using a spreadsheet? It will be quite time-consuming.

Cross-referencing these barcode numbers against the physical assets with barcode labels could consume an entire day. This tedious and time-consuming process of verifying barcode numbers can feel never-ending, but there’s a game-changing solution on the horizon.
