## Buyer Guide

### What You Should Know About Barcode Software

### What is Barcode Software?

This software creates barcodes that can be printed and read on any product. Integrating scanners are able to scan and analyze the information stored within these barcodes. Barcodes are typically scanned when products are sold or shipped from one location to another.

Different industries and countries use different formats for barcodes, depending on their specific needs. Barcode software should offer various templates so users can print whichever format of barcode will fit a business’ needs. These solutions are typically used in industries such as manufacturing and e-commerce.

Key Benefits of Barcode Software

- Quick data entry
- Efficient data storage
- Improved inventory control

### Why Use Barcode Software?

Barcodes have become so common in our lives that it is hard to imagine a time without them. However, barcodes serve more of a purpose than just helping shoppers check out at a store. These solutions offer their users a number of benefits, including but not limited to the following:

**Inventory control —** By placing barcodes on products, businesses can better track the amount and location of inventory.

**Barcodes are versatile —** Barcodes are able to collect whichever kind of data needed, whether that is pricing or inventory information.

**Barcodes eliminate human error —** Storing information within barcodes is more reliable than needing to manually enter data in by hand.

### Who Uses Barcode Software?

Barcode software is typically used by professionals that work with physical products, such as the following industries:

**Manufacturing —** Businesses in the manufacturing industry create physical products that are typically stored within a warehouse. By placing a barcode on their products, businesses in the manufacturing field can keep track of the location of their inventory and how much of it is left.

**E-commerce —** Even though online shopping doesn’t involve an in-person purchase, barcodes still come into play here. When a consumer makes a purchase online, the business uses a barcode for a multitude of reasons, such as allowing a user to track the package as it’s being shipped.

### Kinds of Barcode Software

All barcode software is focused on creating barcodes. Some solutions, however, are more focused on one part of the process.

**Barcode production software —** These solutions are solely focused on the physical creation of barcodes. This type of barcode software generates high-quality graphic images of printable barcodes. These barcodes can be printed on paper or three-dimensional objects.

**Barcode data collection software —** These specific tools are used to collect data from barcode readers. The specific type of barcode data collection software you need will depend on your barcode scanner output.

Some barcode software solutions will focus on one of these functionalities, while others may focus on both. It’s important to assess barcode software solutions for their particular focus before making a purchase.

### Barcode Software Features

The following features are typically found in the majority of barcode software:

**Barcode template —** These solutions should offer different templates to generate the specific barcode that is needed within a given industry and/or country. These templates should also include a variety of barcode symbologies.

**Barcode generation —** Barcodes can be printed on flat or three-dimensional objects.

**Data collection —** Users can input whatever data they would like into the barcode, which the software will collect once scanned.

Other Features of Barcode Software: [RFID](https://www.g2.com/categories/barcode/f/rfid)

### Potential Issues with Barcode Software

Barcode software offers many benefits to its users. But as with any software, it has its downsides. For barcode software, the majority of issues have to do with the printing of barcodes.

**Low contrast —** Sometimes a printed barcode suffers low contrast. That means there is not enough of a distinct difference between the actual barcode and the background it is printed on. When that’s the case, a scanner may not be able to properly read the information stored in the barcode.

**Dead zone violation —** The blank space between the bars of a barcode is referred to as the dead zone. If a character is mistakenly printed in the dead zone, it may make it impossible for a scanner to properly read the barcode.

Barcode software can work in tandem with a variety of different software. That includes, but is not limited to, the following examples:

[**Inventory control software**](https://www.g2.com/categories/inventory-control) **—** This software manages a business’ physical inventory by providing insight into the exact amount of product that is on hand and available.
