Have you ever wondered how you can simplify inventory in your company?
The answer lies in a technology that is faster and more accurate than any inventory assistant: barcode scanning.
Imagine if you could capture every item in your organisation in seconds and keep your inventory data up to date. This is exactly what barcode scanning does.
Today, we'll show you how the technology works and how we use it at seventhings.
Introduction to barcode scanning: a key technology for asset management
Barcode scanning has become one of the key technologies in asset management. But what exactly is it, and how can it help your business?
Simply put, barcode scanning uses optical machine reading technology to capture information from barcodes. This technology enables large volumes of data to be captured quickly and accurately. The data collected is transferred directly to management systems such as your accounting programme.
Why barcode scanning is essential for asset management
By scanning an inventory label with a barcode scanner, you can record the item and store all the important information about it. This can be anything from the manufacturer to the date of purchase or the employee who owns the item.
Barcode scanning therefore saves a lot of time during inventory and reduces the error rate that is almost inevitable with manual entry. This improves the accuracy of your inventory data, which in turn leads to error-free asset accounting.
Label and barcode inventory allows you to track assets in real time. This is why many of the world's leading companies use this technology to optimise their inventory processes.

How barcode scanning simplifies asset management
Simplifying inventory in your company
The use of barcode scanning greatly simplifies the inventory process. Automatic data capture minimises errors and improves the accuracy of inventory data.
Real-time monitoring allows companies to keep track of their objects and identifies bottlenecks or overstocks in a timely manner.
Barcode scanning facilitates the year-end closing process and regulatory compliance by providing a central source of information for asset accounting.
Integration into the asset management system
Smooth interaction between scanners and your asset tracking software is essential for easy management of the company's inventory.
At seventhings, our software ensures that your inventory information is automatically synchronised as soon as you scan an inventory label and edit the information. Every scan automatically updates the inventory database in the software.
This means that whether you access our web application from your laptop or access the inventory list via the seventhings app, you get the latest information in real time, wherever you are.
Saving time and reducing errors
Barcode scanning optimizes the capture of inventory items and their immediate updating in the inventory software. This saves valuable time and minimizes the risk of manual errors, resulting in time-saving and correct inventory.
Improving data quality and reliability
With precise data from an asset tracking software, you can make more informed decisions. This increases the effectiveness of work processes and optimises the monitoring and management of your inventory in the long term.
In addition, improved inventory data gives you a deeper insight into the utilisation and life cycle of your items. These insights are crucial for making proactive purchasing decisions. If you can accurately track the utilisation of your inventory, you can plan more effectively and react more quickly to changes. This not only helps to reduce malinvestments, but also to utilise resources more efficiently and reduce costs.
With a high-quality asset accounting database, you can lay the foundation for a smarter, data-driven future for your business.
Long-term optimization of work processes
Implementing a comprehensive asset management system not only supports inventory, but also the long-term optimisation of business processes. Automated processes allow you to focus on more strategic tasks and increase team productivity.
