Labels, Barcode scanning

Barcode scanning

There are two ways to obtain barcodes or QR codes:

1. Ordering pre-printed labels.
2. Printing on-site with a mobile printer.

You can order pre-printed labels from various suppliers. You specify the quantity and the desired quality. If you intend to scan with a smartphone, we recommend ordering QR codes. It's also possible to print labels on-site using a mobile (barcode) printer.

Please ensure that you do not order or print duplicate barcodes. Each barcode can be assigned to a single checkpoint in your PestScan environment.

Making the settings

First check if the 'Use barcode scanning' settings is activated for a customer:

Linking barcodes in the PestScan app:

When you arrive at a checkpoint, follow these steps:

1. Open the work order for the visit in the PestScan app, go to 'checkpoints,' and open the checkpoint to which you want to add a barcode. (You can also open a floor plan, click on a checkpoint, and click 'edit' to open a checkpoint.)
2. Click on 'edit.'
3. Use the scan button to scan the code. The code will now appear in the 'Barcode' field. This can also be a QR code.
4. Choose to save. The barcode is now linked to the checkpoint and can also be found under the checkpoint in your PestScan office environment.

Finally, it is also possible to add or modify barcodes in the office environment of your PestScan system. This can be done under the 'checkpoints' tab of a location. However, it is not possible to scan the barcodes in this environment.

Printing barcodes in PestScan

At the bottom of the Checkpoint page, there is a button you can use to print your checkpoint's barcodes. There are multiple formats, and it is possible to print barcodes and QR-codes.
