Barcode scanning

EasyRoutes' barcode scanning feature is compatible with most standard linear barcode formats (Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF, UPC-A, UPC-E) and leading 2D barcode formats (Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417, QR Code).

Barcodes can currently be scanned via both Driver Tasks and Proof of Delivery notes:

Driver Tasks

Enabling a Scanner input type Driver Task will prompt drivers to scan a barcode before completing each stop. As with any other task type, scanner input tasks can be made mandatory to mark a stop as Delivered and/or Attempted when configuring the task. To configure a barcode scanning driver task:

  1. From your EasyRoutes Orders page, access your active Route Options by clicking the Add/edit options button directly below the map display.
  2. Scroll down to the Driver tasks card, and click the Enable button.
  3. Within the Driver tasks card, click the Add new task button and configure as follows:
    • Input a task name (for example, "Scan product barcode")
    • Select "Scanner input" from the Type dropdown
    • Optional: check the boxes for "Delivered" and/or "Attempted" if you wish to make barcode scanning a requirement in order to mark stops as Delivered and/or Attempted.

  1. Scroll to the top of the page and click the Save button to return to your Orders page.

Any routes created with a scanner input task configured as described above will prompt drivers using the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app to scan a barcode when completing each stop:

Once scanned, product barcodes can be viewed from any Route page by clicking the checkmark icon found in the Tasks column for any stop. The Scanned checkbox will be ticked if the driver used their camera to scan a barcode; it will be unticked if the barcode was manually input instead:

Proof of Delivery

Drivers can tap the Note button from the Proof of Delivery section for any stop - a barcode scanner icon will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the Add note dialog, which, when tapped, will launch the mobile device's camera to scan any barcodes:

The value of any barcode scanned using this workflow will be stored as a Proof of Delivery note for future reference, and can be accessed from any Route page by clicking the note icon found in the Proof column for any stop:
