Warehouse QR scanning without replacing your ERP
Use phone scans for cycle counts and pick verification while Shopify or Zoho remains your system of record.
Scans as signals, not a new database
Most teams do not want another ERP. They want fast proof that the right SKU left the right shelf. QR and barcode scans create an audit trail you can export or webhook into existing tools.
Inkode records movements, locations, and packaging units while integrations keep product masters in Shopify, WooCommerce, or Zoho Inventory.
Where QR beats static barcodes alone
Static barcodes identify a SKU. Dynamic QR on packaging can open an internal scan screen for staff while still sending consumers to a public URL — controlled by workspace settings.
That dual use is common in art studios, cosmetics, and small-batch food brands where the same label faces both warehouse and buyer.
Choosing Lite vs Pro for warehouse
Lite covers one location and thousands of scans per month — enough for a single studio or store backroom. Pro adds multiple sites, CSV catalog import, movement CSV export, and email alerts when stock hits reorder points.
