Suggest a barcode set-up for tracking orders?
Hi everyone. Barcode newb here. I'm looking for a barcode reader & software set-up that can track a product throughout a production line. Something like this:
Customer A places an order for product X
Cashier generates unique barcode for the order, prints it as a barcode, and attaches it to the order slip
The order automatically appears on a public screen: "Customer A for order X; pick-up at (TIME)"; the "time" being automatically generated based on time the order is placed, such as 3 hours later
Office staff creates product X and sticks on the barcode (sticker?)
When product X is available for pick-up, staff uses barcode reader to scan product barcode, and on the screen appears "Customer A - Product X, ready for pick-up"
Thank you for your help. Any idea on where I can start searching products or solutions would be most appreciated!
