Minimizes Errors
Efficiency vastly improves your profitability. One of your largest assets is your inventory and taking
control of it is vital. With Vantage Bar Coding, data capture is faster and more accurate, costs are
lower, mistakes are minimized, and inventory management is much easier. A bar code scanner
typically can record data five to seven times as fast as a skilled typist. Keyboard data entry creates
an average of one error in 300 keystrokes. Bar code data entry has an error rate of about one in three
million. That’s 10,000 times better accuracy! Reducing labor costs is the most obvious benefit but even
greater savings come from reduced revenue losses resulting from inventory errors. Losing just one
sale from an NIL (not in location) error can cost more than the bar code system purchase price!
To further meet the needs of our clients, we now offer two bar coding system options so you can
select the one that best fits your operation. The entry level bar coding option is an affordable choice
that provides the most commonly used bar code features. If you find it essential to utilize additional
inventory controls, the PRO level bar code option is the perfect solution. If the entry level option meets
your current needs but later you decide to move to the PRO level, there is an easy migration path to
make the transition.
“Bar coding saves us an incredible amount
of time and keeps our inventory extremely
accurate.”

and cycle counts. Your inventory can be reconciled in hours instead of days.

your customer satisfaction. No more lost sales due to lost items. Plus, you reduce time spent
