Shelf labels with a check digit
Shelf labels are printed in bulk from the web: Code 128 barcode, a two-digit check code and a direction arrow. Output goes to an A4 grid or to ZPL for a thermal printer.
Let the record happen where the work happens
In a warehouse the work is done at the shelf, but the record is kept at a desk. That distance costs the same thing every time: goods move, paper piles up, and in the evening somebody sits down and keys it all in. Until then, what the system shows lags behind what the warehouse actually holds — and every mistake made during entry surfaces hours after its cause.

The same moment, two versions
The difference does not show up in a feature list. It shows up in how the same job is lived.
When goods arrive at the door
On paper
The waybill is checked by hand and lines are ticked off on paper.
On a mobile terminal
The barcode is scanned and item and quantity are matched immediately.
While picking an order
On paper
A pick list is printed; who picked what becomes clear only afterwards.
On a mobile terminal
The app guides step by step and every picked line is recorded.
When stock moves internally
On paper
Transfers often go unrecorded; the shelf is found from memory.
On a mobile terminal
The transfer is a transaction; where the material sits is on record.
At the end of the day
On paper
The data-entry round begins — and this is where errors come from.
On a mobile terminal
There is nothing left to enter; the records were created as the work happened.
A dropped connection does not lose the work
Connectivity can drop in a cold store, between high racks, or in a basement. The basket is stored on the device; lines scanned so far survive a dropped connection or the app closing. Nothing is sent to Logo without a network: the app says so, keeps the draft, and you send the same draft once the connection is back. A send whose outcome is uncertain is not repeated; its counterpart in Logo is checked first.
Tools on the floor
Reliable scanning starts with the label and ends with a mis-scan that cannot go unnoticed.
One scan for GS1-128
Scanning a GS1-128 case barcode resolves the item (GTIN), lot, expiry date and serial in one go.
Labels printed on the floor
After goods receipt, material inbound, lot creation and lot split, a label screen opens; print from the device or share as ZPL. When a case or pallet is closed, a shipping label (SSCC) is prepared.
The phone camera becomes a scanner
Where there is no handheld terminal, the phone's camera reads barcodes.
A mis-scan is never silent
Scanning the wrong item or shelf brings a sound, a vibration and a short notification together; a card under the scan field shows expected and scanned side by side and the flow stops. The screen is not covered. The alert sound plays even when the phone is on silent.
Voice guidance and tablets
On a picking route the next stop can be read aloud. On a tablet the basket and the details open side by side; the layout follows the screen width.
What can be done from the mobile terminal
