Define the Inventory Workflows
Identify where inventory is received, moved, counted, picked, replenished, packed and adjusted so each hardware component supports a specific operational task.
Support receiving, counting, transfers, replenishment and inventory audits with mobile computers, barcode scanners, label printers, tablets and deployment-ready accessories.
Select the hardware category that best supports the application, environment and deployment workflow.





A complete inventory control deployment connects your software with mobile data collection, barcode scanning, inventory labeling and the accessories required to keep devices charged, protected and available. Start with the workflow, then select the hardware around users, distances, environments and transaction volume.
Confirm the operating system, supported devices, barcode types, wireless network, scan distances and printing requirements before standardizing hardware.
Identify where inventory is received, moved, counted, picked, replenished, packed and adjusted so each hardware component supports a specific operational task.
Select handheld, pistol-grip, wearable, tablet or scanner-based hardware around the application, scan distance, ergonomics and physical environment.
Add the printers, labels and ribbons required to identify products, bins, shelves, pallets, cartons, locations and shipping units.
Complete each configuration with batteries, cradles, protective accessories, mounting, network requirements and spare equipment for repeatable deployment.
ShopPOSPortal can configure Essential, Advanced and Enterprise inventory-control bundles with mobile computers, scanners, printers, charging equipment, labels and accessories.
Use the table below to compare the mobile computers, scanners, printers, accessories and connectivity commonly used for receiving, put-away, picking, replenishment, cycle counting and inventory audits.
The same mobile computer can often support receiving, picking and counting while scan engines, printer options and accessories are adjusted for each task.

ShopPOSPortal can create a repeatable hardware configuration with workflow-specific scanners, printers, batteries, cradles and accessories for each department or facility.
Start with a complete hardware package, then adjust device form factors, scan engines, printers, labels, batteries and charging equipment around your inventory software and facility.
Device model, scan range, printer size, connectivity, charging, protective accessories and spare-device requirements can be changed before pricing is prepared.
A practical starting configuration for small stockrooms, retail backrooms and straightforward receiving and counting workflows.
Final pricing depends on the mobile computer, printer, accessories and label requirements.
A rugged commercial configuration for receiving, put-away, picking, replenishment and daily cycle-counting workflows.
Final pricing depends on scan range, printer configuration, charging quantity and accessory package.
A standardized multi-device package for high-volume operations, rapid inventory audits and multi-location deployments.
Final pricing depends on device quantity, RFID requirements, charging infrastructure and rollout scope.
Each bundle can be rebuilt around your inventory software, scan distances, user count, printing volume, facility conditions and preferred manufacturers.
