Unreliable Barcode Scanning
Workers across retail, warehouse, and delivery roles struggle with slow, inaccurate, or failing barcode scanners that force manual workarounds and block task completion.
In their words
As vezes passo minutos tentando escanear e não vai.
I need to spin up a QR code for a landing page and actually track the scans (total scans, location, device, the usual).
they bought us actual phones which is slowing me and everyone else down
only me or my one trusted employee can run the register; nobody else can just walk in and operate it
I want a beep to notify the employee that there is an issue scanning.
I need to build a simple app that can be used to check materials in and out (and keep track of who has things checked out) via scanning a barcode.
No amount of angle changing and finagling with my scanner would get this metallic barcode to register.
Huge time suck for two crew members and the customer.
I had to dig like 4 items back before I found the correct UPC.
my shop constantly has barcode mismatches bc one batch of wine will have this barcode from italy, the other 6382825 barcode randomly changes
When you scan the correct item, the app says it's wrong and won't accept it, happens 2% of the time
the papers you use to scan in the totes and put all the bags into Ready status routinely glitch out and then you need to manually scan in each and every bag
it is freezing like crazy and taking forever to actually scan files after I open the app
using : in the barcode as a separator of values becomes wonky if the OS has a different input language than expected

Why those fall short
- no built-in rain or moisture protection; touchscreen still misreads
- scanners cannot read metallic or worn barcodes
- coding broken after ESVS loss; MPOS lite never delivered
- GPS off, 3-5 sec scan lag, multiple parcels error, alerts never pop
- crashes or slow loading midway through scanning
