Benefits of bar coding
Reduce errors. Bar coding reduces your data entry errors. Studies show the average error rate for manual data entry as 1/300. Bar coding is virtually error free, with some systems experiencing error ratios of one per many million characters. Reduced errors directly impact service levels throughout a company and increase the bottom line.
Save time. Along with superior accuracy over manual data entry, bar coding is much faster. Where traditional, manual data entry would take a few minutes, bar code will take a few seconds. For operations with large volume the improvement is significant.
Superior efficiency. With faster and more accurate data collection, the time spent on the data entry process and follow-up error resolution is drastically reduced. This allows staff to handle other, more productive tasks.
Save money. All of these benefits create significant cost savings. The initial investment to implement a bar coding system will be recovered rapidly thanks to all of the cost savings benefits -time is money!
