Mobile WMS has support for scanning encoded barcodes like GS1.

The device/app can, to some extent, be configured to read a custom barcode. 

How it works

Example of GS1 barcode

Description

Encoded barcodes are supported out-of-the-box and provide great benefits in speeding up and simplifying registrations

Encoded barcode suppport

GS1 is the recommended barcode

We highly recommend using the common GS1-128 (DataMatrix), as it can hold a number of different informations.

• can contain Lot number, Serial number, Expiration Date etc.

• can be used for login 

Example of GS1-128 barcode

GS1-128 holds different kinds of information by assigning Application Identifiers (AI's).  

• See https://www.gs1-128.info/application-identifiers/
