Scan UPC barcodes to populate Scanlily with product information

You can scan existing UPC barcodes to pull up product information, image and prices and then instantly populate this information into Scanlily. This feature saves research and manual data entry for each product.  It's an incredibly efficient way to add items with existing UPC codes into your home or business inventory.

Accessing this feature requires either a paid subscription or participation in our Beta program.

Alerts and Flags

Taken together, Scanlily Alerts and Flags can help immensely with asset management. They allow you to reactively stay on top of necessary actions, such as maintenance. The system does the monitoring work for you, freeing up time and reducing worries.

For inventory management: Let Scanlily tell you when to restock items that have fallen below a certain quantity.

 

For equipment management: Enable your staff and customers to flag items as broken or needing repair. Receive an alert if something requires your attention.
