Possible use cases:​

1. Quick search of items
If you have to search for products/orders regularly and you type id/sku/name manually - you may increase your productivity by using barcode scanner.
You will need to scan product/order barcode and it will be found as fast as possible without any additional interaction with keyboard.
Our indexation engine allows to make search 2-3 times faster compared to WooCommerce search.

2. Restocking items
If you receive or remove products from your store, you can use "auto increase/decrease" mode to change products quantity in WooCommerce, simply by scanning the barcodes.
Product quantity will be changed each time you scan the barcode, so you even won't have to touch the keyboard.
The sounds from the plugin will tell you if QTY was changed successfully, so actually you don't have to look at the monitor.
Very useful for restocking big amount of items.

3. Order fulfillment
Allows to make sure that you send correct items to the customer.
Works this way:
- You open the order and see there the list of the items.
- You start scanning the products and system tells you (with sound) if this product is correct one or not.
- If item is correct - it plays "good" sound, highlights the item and marks product with a green arrow.
- If scanned product is not from the order - plugin plays the "wrong" sound and says that the item is wrong.

4. Point of Sale
You can use barcode scanner as a POS system to create orders in offline stores.
You simply scan product barcodes which your customer wants to buy, and you will see prices for each item along with total order price.
You can also link order to WordPress user (if customer has an account on your website).

Your use case may be different, however barcode scanning & quick search is always helpful tool and can be adopted to any business process.
