    • Question

    When completing an inventory count, can I use multiple Scanner devices?

    Setup

    • Vend for Mac or PC
    • Vend on iPad
    • Scanner App

    Answer

    You can use multiple scanners to complete an inventory count; however, it is important that you count separate products. Counting the same product will override the first count and can lead to errors.

    It is very important that you save the count on each device before completing and that you only complete the count on one device.

    Additional Information

    We recommend completing partial counts if you're using multiple devices to prevent errors.
