Can inFlow work with mobile device &/or batch scanners?

Note: We will sunset inFlow v2 on July 31, 2024. This means inFlow v2 will no longer be offered for download and we will no longer be hosting its Knowledge Base and support articles.

Batch scanners

Some scanners (sometimes called batch scanners) may be wireless and designed for you to scan all your items’ barcodes at once and then download your resulting spreadsheet. These are not the ideal scanner to use with inFlow however if you’ve already got one (or it serves your purpose) you may choose to import the resulting spreadsheet using the instructions in How to Import Data into inFlow.


iPad, smartphone, etc.

When it comes to mobile device scanners however, right now inFlow doesn’t support these types of scanners. If you’re able to download a spreadsheet from your app then the same rules apply as above (i.e. you can import after the fact) but for now direct scanning from mobile devices into inFlow is not possible, sorry!
