See how the Scanbot Web Barcode Scanner SDK’s scan modes improve your workflows

Single Scanning

Ideal for simple activities where only a single barcode needs to be scanned, such as re-ordering a product or a stock lookup.
Batch Scanning

This feature allows users to scan multiple codes in succession without closing the scanning screen. This simplifies tasks where a series of barcodes must be scanned, such as picking several products for one order.
Multi Scanning

Capture multiple barcodes simultaneously. For example, it enables logistics workers to scan several packages at once.
Find & Pick

Given one or more barcode values, the SDK will visually highlight and scan the correct items for your users. This simplifies finding the right package in last-mile operations, for example.
Scan & Count

Let your users count multiple items automatically in one go. This allows retail workers, for example, to complete inventory counting more quickly.
