Due to popular demand, we’re excited to introduce a small but powerful new feature designed to make field data capture faster, easier, and more accurate — a new field type called ‘Barcode’.
With our new Barcode field, your users can simply use their device’s camera in the AppCan Mobile App to scan any barcode or QR code and instantly capture the information it contains.
No more manually typing serial numbers, asset IDs, or product codes. A quick scan automatically decodes and populates relevant data into your forms, saving valuable time while reducing the risk of manual entry errors, especially when working in busy or challenging environments.
Whether it’s a QR code (the square, two-dimensional pattern) or a barcode (the familiar vertical line pattern), the mobile app instantly converts the scanned code into usable data, helping your teams complete tasks faster and with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information captured.
This feature is ideal for managing asset installations and maintenance, inventory management, inspections, and product verification. Whether your team is checking equipment on-site, logging deliveries, or verifying asset information, scanning a code provides a quick and reliable way to capture the data you need.

Why teams will love the Barcode field:

• Automatically decodes and populates form fields
• Reduces manual typing and minimises data entry errors
• Speeds up field data capture

This latest addition is another step towards making mobile data capture simpler, faster, and more reliable for teams working on the front line.
