Barcode Inventory Management Software Helps Businesses Comply With Tax Requirements

by Pritam Singh Business

The use of barcodes is absolutely important for retail operations today than ever before. That’s because the new tax regime has increased its coverage of retail businesses and their inventories. The sheer number of products found in a retail store is so large that it is almost impossible to manage the barcodes for each of these product categories in addition to running the operations of the retail business. That’s why you need barcode inventory management software to handle your point of sale (POS) billing which is directly connected to the barcodes on the product packaging. The POS billing is in turn, connected to your accounting software.

Recording barcode information

Today, most if not all manufacturers print barcodes on their product packaging and this makes it really easy for the billing personnel to record the product information as they just have to scan the barcode. The barcode scanner could either be stationary at the billing counter, or it could be a small hand-held device which allows the user more flexibility and convenience. On the odd occasion when the scanner is not able to read the barcode properly, you would have to record the product information manually. Even for such minor adjustments the barcode inventory management software plays a vital role in seamlessly recording the manual input.

Printing barcodes on your own

It is also possible that some items do not have any barcode whatsoever, especially those that are mostly procured in bulk. However, when selling them on retail, you would need to record the transaction information which will include the product details such as quantity or weight and price among others. Therefore, you will need to generate barcodes on your own and for that you will require the barcode inventory management software. In addition to that, you will also require a thermal transfer printer and thermal transfer barcode labels available in rolls. All that you need to do is feed in the product details into the system for printing the barcodes.

Thermal transfer printing

A thermal transfer printer uses thermal transfer ribbon coated with ink or dye blended with wax, wax and resin, or resin, depending on the durability that you desire for your barcode. That obviously is dependent on the kind of environment your products will endure as well as the level of exposure to heat and corrosion they will be exposed to. Your barcode inventory management software will help you handle the printing of barcodes seamlessly.
