Problem: Finding sales could be faster
Let’s think about two common scenarios:
Will calls: A customer calls in to place an order for some paint. You tint the paint, input the sale in Rundoo, print a packing slip, and put the packing slip on top of the paint can. *Now you wait for the customer to arrive* ⏳ When they do, you grab their items and the packing slip, search for the sale ID in Sales > Will Call, open it, and complete the sale.
Returns: A customer comes in with some extra brushes and their receipt. You search for the sale ID in Sales > Sold, open it, and complete the partial return.
In both cases, you had to search for the sale. It probably only took a few seconds, but could it be faster? 🏃♂️💨
Solution: Barcodes on receipts
What could be faster than typing?
Barcode scanning!
Now every receipt, whether printed on a full page or a thermal printer, has the sale ID encoded in a barcode. When you scan this barcode, Rundoo will pull up that sale.
We’ve solved two birds with one stone:
✅ Scanning is fast, taking less than a second.
✅ Scanning removes the risk of opening the wrong sale.
What next?
This is live! Start scanning 🔫
