Barcode scanning
Real barcodes, not just QR. Store the UPC or EAN already on a product, or your own Code 128 SKU, then scan to pull up an item in an instant with a plug-in scanner or your phone. Print your own labels for anything that doesn’t have one.

UPC, EAN & Code 128
Store the manufacturer barcode that’s already on a product, or your own internal SKU. Check digits on UPC and EAN are validated for you.
Scan to find
Tap Scan to use your phone camera, or use a USB or Bluetooth scanner, and the matching item opens straight away. No hunting through a list.
Print your own labels
Generate a clean, scannable Code 128 label for any item, for the things that came without a barcode.
Find it with AI
Ask AI to look up an item by its barcode over the built-in MCP server and act on it in plain language.
Standard barcodes, built in
Most stock already carries a barcode. The retail products you buy have a UPC or EAN printed on them, and a quick scan is the fastest, most accurate way to pull up the right item, far quicker than scrolling a list and far less error-prone than typing. Simple Inventory stores that barcode on the item and looks it up the instant you scan.
Add a barcode by scanning it straight into the item’s editor or typing it in. UPC-A and EAN-13 values are check-digit validated so a misread is caught early. For items that never had a barcode, generate your own Code 128 label and print it; the same value then scans back to the item. Turn on the optional Barcode / SKU column (under Choose columns) to see every code in the inventory table, or bring codes in all at once with a Barcode column in a CSV import.
On the floor, the scan-to-find box works with any keyboard-wedge scanner, the common USB and Bluetooth kind that “types” the code, so there’s no hardware to configure and no app to install. On a phone or tablet, tap Scan and point the camera at the code instead. If nothing matches, choose Create an item with this barcode and the code is saved on the new item, so the next scan finds it.
