Scanner

Scanners work in the mobile app only. Your job is simple: scan items, confirm quantities.

Joining a job

  1. Sign in to the app.
  2. Tap Scan to start and point it at the Job Access QR your supervisor shows you (or paste the invitation code by hand).
  3. You're in until 48 hours after you joined, or 2 hours after the job's planned end — whichever comes first. If the job ends early, so does your access.

You don't need the web console — the Scanner role is mobile-only.

Counting

  1. Open the job and pick your location.
  2. Scan with the camera, a Bluetooth ring scanner, or type codes by hand.
  3. The app instantly shows the product name from its offline copy of the catalog.
  4. Check the quantity (starts at 1) and move on. Everything saves on your phone first and uploads itself in the background.

Good to know

  • Scan what's printed. The app tidies codes (trims spaces, uppercases, drops leading zeros) but never changes them otherwise.
  • Wrong item? Delete the record and scan again. Codes can't be edited after the fact.
  • No signal? No problem. Scans stay on your phone and sync when you're back online.
  • "Upload rejected" near the end? The job has moved to Closing — field counting is over. Your scans are kept, and if the supervisor reopens the job they can be sent then.

Tips

  • Check your location before each batch — counts are grouped by location.
  • If a scan doesn't find a product, submit it anyway. The record keeps the raw code and gets matched when reports run.
