The engineers have taken over. In order fulfillment, the current focus is on systems. They speak in acronyms. Here are just a few:

  • WMS (Warehouse Management System)
  • SCM (Supply Chain Management System)
  • SCV (Supply Chain Visibility System)
  • LSP (Logistics Service Provider)
  • 3PL (Third-Party Logistics Provider)

Nothing against engineers—I am one of them. I like my colleagues, and I believe that order picking, packaging and shipping accuracy are essential to supply chain integrity and healthy trading partner relationships.

But what if you don’t really need a system? What if a simple tool is what you need? You ship from the backroom in your retail space. Or maybe you have a warehouse but an inline order verification function is too complicated or expensive. Maybe you just want a simple tool. We have an app for that!

3db Barcode Testimonial

Our company (an advanced software company) recently worked with Barcode Test to source a barcode verifier.  Not long ago, we were awarded a contract requiring products to be marked with IUIDs in accordance with MIL-STD-130.  For that standard, marking labels must pass a verification test that evaluates many variables (contrast, size, clarity, syntax, modularity, and more).  After a thorough search, we reduced our options to a select few.

In our search for a verifier, the Axicon line caught our attention.  Barcode Test is our regional reseller for this product.   From the beginning, they were very prompt with their responses.  We ended up having a quick call with John Nachtrieb to go over our needs.  John was extremely easy to work with and provided a lot of great information.  He was very knowledgeable on the matter and was quick to offer up a demo unit (free of charge).

Upon receiving the demo verifier and testing it, a few questions arose.  John joined a call with us and answered all our questions.  Ultimately, the Axicon verifier wasn’t the best fit for us, so we shipped the demo back.  John was completely understanding.  A few weeks later, Barcode Test reached back out with another possible verifier for us to try.  While they didn’t sell that brand, they just wanted to help us find the best option that met our needs. They even offered to send us the unit that they have in-house to see if it worked to our liking. 

Barcode Test is truly a great company to work with.  Their service and willingness to help the customer are far beyond what you typically get from other companies.  They are experts in barcode quality assurance and seem willing to help in any way they can (even if that means not getting a sale and recommending another option that better fits the customer’s needs).  If anyone is in the market for barcode verification/scanning services or products, I would highly recommend giving Barcode Test a call.
