Barcoding technology is an essential component of a lean, agile retail business. Keeping goods moving and monitoring them on their path simultaneously is a struggle for many businesses. The ebb and flow of supply and demand is easier to manage with an efficient barcoding and labelling system and this is where TPS can help.

Businesses of any size or type need a point of sale (POS) system in order to operate smoothly. Whether you’ve been in business for years and are reconsidering your POS system for barcoding or if you’re a new business owner looking to set up your first system, TPS will provide what you’ll need when starting—or restarting—your system.

Barcode scanners
The benefits of barcode scanners in a business are fairly obvious: they reduce errors during checkout and provide an accurate and timely inventory reference. Barcode scanners come in a variety of types, including short-range, long-range and embedded.

Barcode printers
In addition to standard printers for receipts and invoices, by adding a barcode creator to the mix, owners can create labels needed to organize inventory and files, ship items and more. Making barcodes from durable, fade-resistant, heat-sensitive label stock ensures that your efforts at organization won’t be destroyed over time.
