Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Collecting device is the device on which you install our application and use it to take the counts. It can be a mobile phone, a tablet or a data collector that runs Android or IOS systems.
Data collection is the set of codes and inventory quantities that you have counted. The barcode reader scans several codes and these codes are counted. In the end, all this information is your data collection.
Yes, we offer a free license. You just have to download the app and use the web manager without any cost. The only difference between licensed and unlicensed devices is that collections made by unlicensed devices will have a data limit to be exported, while licensed devices have no limit.

No. If you are going to work with more than one device, you must purchase licenses for each device.
You must change the license from one device to another only in cases where the device with the license will definitely not be used anymore. In this case, you must access "Devices" menu on the web manager and click on the option “Delete the device”.
When you delete a licensed device, this license will be available to be assigned to a new device. But, ATTENTION! When you delete the device and, consequently, remove its license, all your data will have limited export, as this new device has no license.
You cannot reactivate a deleted device. So, again, ATTENTION, only delete your device if you are sure that you will no longer need to use it in the future and that you will no longer need to export your data.

Yes. You can use the web manager to import your list of codes and descriptions. Remember that after the Web manager imports the product list, you must access the Download Descriptions menu on the app to synchronize/update the list. This means that, when your device scans a code that was uploaded, you will be able to see information about the item.

Bluetooth scanners
You must pair the reader with your phone just like you do when you use any other bluetooth device. Attention! Make sure the reader connects to the phone independently. There are wireless readers that are dependent on a signal receiving base. Give preference to models that connect directly via bluetooth, without the need for the base.
Wired scanners
You must use an OTG adapter that allows the connection of USB devices to your phone/tablet. You will find the adapter in mobile phone/computer stores. See some models of adapters here. OTG (On-The-Go) technology allows your device to communicate with barcode reader. Most devices today already have OTG specification, but you can check if yours is compatible by plugging any USB device, such as keyboards, flash drives or barcode readers, into your phone to see if it works.
