Bluetooth Barcode Scanner

SKUSavvy uses barcodes to help identity products, bins, labels, and more. Using SKUSavvy with a Bluetooth paired barcode scanner is the best way to get the most out of your SKUSavvy account. For our hardware recommendations please visit the link below.

Contextual Scanning

This means that when you have your device connected with a scanner wherever you are in the SKUSavvy app will be expecting that type of scan. For instance, during picking any scan made from the Bluetooth scanner will be looking for either a bin scan, or a product scan depending on your configuration options. If a scan is not recognized to be associated with the pick batch of products, it will give an error. Another example is during check-in, Bluetooth scans made while on the check-in will be looking for an item on that purchase order.

Barcode Scan Results

When you scan a barcode you will get a few different results depending on what data is attached to the barcode and recognized in the system. The three types of data you can get are unrecognized, product data, bin data. If you scan a barcode but you are NOT within a warehouse, the product will still be recognized, but you will not be able to check quantity in or adjust inventory quantity.

Search and Filter

Filter Bar

skusavvy search and filter

Within every primary set of data - products, customers, orders, bins etc. you will find a search bar and filters at the top. This filter uses an intelligent search that will surface all relevant results related to your query. It is case insensitive. You can also adjust table columns shown and position of those table columns. In addition, you can save table filters and set a default view for those table filters. In order of left to right:

  • Search for anything

  • Select type filters

  • Select one or multiple product tags to filter by

  • Enter price and on some tables cost information for products

  • Paginate through results (25/page)

  • Save table filters

  • Adjust table columns and position of columns

3-Dot Menu

One of the most important buttons to edit various workflows and settings is the 3-dot menu. We encourage you to click this to see the variety of settings that exist around SKUSavvy.

Clickable Elements

Depending on what you click SKUSavvy will bring you into different data. Something that confuses some people is they think they are clicking on one thing and end up at another. 

One of the key things to remember is that if you click on something that is underlined, you will be brought to that specific data element, whereas if you click on the row it will bring you there. 
  • 1) Underline will go to the product detail

  • 2) Row will go to the product variant detail (from here we are looking at the product list)
