Benets of Bar Coding

Bar code data-collection systems provide enormous benets for just about any business With a bar code data-collection

solution, capturing data is faster and more accurate, costs are lower, mistakes are minimized, and managing inventory is much

easier The following are some of the benets of bar code data entry

Fast and Reliable Data Collection

Faster Data Entry: A bar code scanner typically can record data signicantly faster than a skilled typist

10,000 Times Better Accuracy: Keyboard data entry creates an average of one error in 300 keystrokes

Reduced Costs

Labor Costs: This is the most obvious benet of bar code data collection In many cases, this cost savings pays for the

entire data-collection system However, while this may be the most obvious cost savings benet, it is often overshadowed

by even greater savings from other areas

Reduced Revenue Losses Resulting from Data Collection Errors: This benet often surpasses the savings in labor

costs You know that if you make a signicant error on an invoice in the customer’s favor, the error may not be discovered

However, if the error is in your company’s favor, it will probably be brought to your company’s attention immediately In

most companies, it doesn’t take many errors to amount to a great deal of lost revenue

Necessary Inventory Levels: Using bar codes is one of the best ways to reduce inventory levels and save on capital costs

Keeping a tight handle on inventory can save signicant amounts of money

Improved Management

Better Decision Making:

Although hard to measure, this is an important benet In many cases, improved management due to automated data

collection technology could be the best benet of a bar code system A bar code system can easily gather information that

would be difcult or impossible to gather in other ways This allows managers to make fully informed decisions that can

affect the direction of a department or company

Faster Access to Information: This benet goes hand in hand with better decision making With better information, you

can gain opportunities and get the jump on competition

Examples of How Bar Codes are Used

The following are just a few of the many ways bar codes are being used to improve the protability and efciency of a variety of

company types

Point-of-Sale

Point-of-sale is one of the most common segments of the bar code market Everyone is familiar with the scanners in grocery

and department stores Benets of bar coding in point-of-sale systems include:

Cost Savings: This is the most obvious benet A medium-to-large store can save enough checker time to signicantly

reduce payroll You also save direct labor costs through less time spent taking inventories and ordering product
