Main focus

Use Scanner+ to scan products faster and switch between the built-in camera and advanced scanning behaviors.

Applies to

  • Android
  • iOS

Scanner+ turns a phone into a faster barcode scanner for busy receiving, picking, retail, and logistics workflows.

Key benefits

  • Unlimited scans when the Scanner+ add-on license is assigned.
  • More reliable reads on damaged, bent, low-contrast, or poorly lit barcodes.
  • Continuous scanning with a minimized scanner so you can scan multiple items without reopening the camera.
  • A phone can replace a dedicated scanner for many everyday warehouse or retail tasks.

License and availability

Scanner+ is a separate add-on for Android and iOS. You can buy one license or a license pack that an admin assigns to team members. It is not included in other licenses.

Choose your viewfinder

Open Scanning Settings -> Favorite Viewfinder and select the overlay that fits your workflow.

Viewfinder modes

Rectangular viewfinder

Default choice for everyday product, ticket, or QR scanning when you can move the phone close to the code.

Aimer viewfinder

Better when several barcodes are visible and you need to target one code from farther away.

Continuous scanning and quick controls

  • Enable continuous active scanning to keep the camera ready for one item after another.
  • Use the minimized scanner to pause or resume scanning, switch to full-screen mode, or open Scanning Settings.
  • Lock the minimized scanner in place when you want a stable repeated-scanning workflow.
