Barcode scanning
Allow scanning of part barcodes or serials directly into the bill to speed entry and eliminate manual SKU typing during field service calls.
A clear, consistent bill format links parts, labor, and warranty details to product records, enabling accurate inventory usage, easier audits, and faster customer acceptance and payment.
