Where can I purchase a Tera scanner?

Which is better a ring scanner or handheld?
This is a matter of personal preference. The difference is that a ring style scanner still enables dexterity of your hands to pick up packages while being able to scan. A handheld scanner can be set down and picked up but limits the ability to use one hand for lifting. Either will work it simply depends on your preference. We prefer ring scanners.
  • Ring scanner offers dexterity and use of your hand

  • Handhelds can be set down

No, SKUSavvy will work without any barcodes present in the system. It will also work with the built-in camera scanner that comes up whenever you tap on a scan button without a connected barcode scanner.
  • Physical scanners are preferred as there are places where a physical scanner is needed

  • Camera scanner works well

  • Use SKUSavvy optionally without any barcodes
