Barcodes / barcode scanner

[heylix]

Would be nice if you could scan stuff with your smartphone to check it in/out of storage.

yes really needed. Any Plans ?

Actually there are no plans to integrate barcode scanning. I am also not sure about the exact implementation. Do you have an idea on how the feature should be done or in other words, what exactly would you like to expect from that feature from within sqStorage?

I think the simplest way would be to add a form field where the inventory is added that will contain the info from the barcode.
This would be passed along from a 3rd party app like this one

The User is redirected to the app store if he doesnt have it installed already. Then its just a matter of conecting the form field to the app.

I think all the sqs would have to do is check if the code is already in the db and either insert or update.
Could be all wrong, im not much of a Programmer. But i think this looks like a very simple way.
