Modernize Inventory with new scanning hardware!

Scanners deliver speed, accuracy, and efficiency to your physical inventory process. Staff can eliminate handwritten paper sheets by simply scanning bin locations and item barcodes. This process captures real-time counts directly inside v10, saving time and reducing costly manual errors.

With scanners, your team can:

• Scan bin numbers and part barcodes in seconds

• Instantly update counts inside v10

• Run a variance report after Count 1 to quickly audit discrepancies

• Use multiple scanners at once to count more bins, faster, with more people

Departments using scanners have reduced inventory time by up to 80%, cutting labor costs while improving accuracy and accountability, making scanners one of the highest ROI investments a parts department can make.

BONUS: PBS scanners are highly versatile, supporting everything from physical inventory counts and recurring cycle or bin checks to daily parts receipting.

Customer Testimonial - Real World Success Story

“Before scan guns, our physical inventory required 12 people for a full 12-hour shift – a massive labor investment. Today, with just two scan guns, we complete the same count with only 3 people in 9 hours. This change has drastically reduced labor costs, improved accuracy, and eliminated the human error that came with manual paper counting.”
