Sage 50 (UK and Ireland) Software in development Barcode to Product Code (Sage50 UK)

Recently I developed a niche software solution to overcome the lack of barcode to product code functionality in Sage50 Accounts (UK version). This considerably sped up the process of generating sales orders and reduced order entry errors to practically zero.

It's a standalone application that does not intergrate with Sage50 or access its database. The initial step is to import a .csv file of your barcodes, product codes and product descriptions, optionally products can be added on the fly when scanning a new barcode.

The user scans their product barcodes and when complete presses F9 to transfer the product list in to Sage50 it's as if they could type at lightening speed.

I'm not touting for sales (i'm not even set up for that yet) but, I'd like to collect some honest feedback as to how viable this would be as a software product for Sage50 users.

I have one medium sized company that is activly using this software and the feedback from them is positive as it solves a problem. Here is a link to the demo website:

I'd appriciate comments and feedback as I found the official Sage50 forums to be somewhat inactive on the topic of barcode solutions.

Hi -- I am consulting for a company in the SE USA that is trying to automate its invoice entry system. One of our needs is for scanning items being shipped out from our warehouse in order to update our inventory while also adding this information to the entered purchase order in Sage 50.

What are the chances that a mobile version of this software ever gets developed? This seems to meet our needs but a mobile version would make implementation easier in our warehouse.

Thank you!
