RE: Barcode scanning in the Android app

Other use case:
A sales representative needs to answer a client ON THE SPOT whether he can deliver a certain article within a sharp time frame. The sales rep scans the barcode and immediately knows if the article in on stock, what is costs, what the discount is, what the shipping cost is, what the technical specifications are, ... The sales rep answers YES confidently, generating money instantly!

RE: Barcode scanning in the Android app

RE: Barcode scanning in the Android app

Barcode scanning is really cool idea. It should be extended to Android and Windows Platforms as well. Second, There is a limitation, the report we want barcode filter to work on must have all visuals using barcode field. This some times limits the options of analytics and you can do so much with ONE Product. If this feature is combined with Interactions and SImple report filters, that could do wonders. For instance, I have UPC as barcode field, Right now I can only see analytics around that specific UPC. What if I could filter one chart based on that product\UPC and all other charts display same data (using Interactions). Or I filter on UPC and all other charts start showing related product (Exclusing color, size, config) etc.
