Barcode reader
Barcode software is present in wineries, break rooms and grocery stores. Wherever there is a need to track something, there is a need for barcode software.
Features
Barcode software is integrated into inventory tracking, electronic time sheets and point of sale systems. Barcode software programs integrate with barcode readers, which usually plug into a computer's USB port.
Considerations
When reviewing the many barcode software products on the market, determine if a particular program is compatible with existing operating systems and word processing software. Barcode software products also integrate with some financial spreadsheets programs.
Warning
There are free versions of barcode software. For individual use, there are usually no restrictions on the free versions, but commercial entities are typically allowed to load only one copy and to print a limited number of barcodes.
Significance
Barcode software allows for universal reading of a retail product anywhere in the world with a universal product code (UPC). Major publishing houses and self publishers all have to acquire an ISBN before publishing a book so that barcode software can identify sales of the book.
