Looking for a good barcode scanner/software for inventory
I have been looking for a good customer database program for my business but I'm also looking for a good bar code scanner. I've seen quite a few available but most of all I'm looking for the best software to use it with?
For now I'm using Quickbooks Pro for Windows as my inventory program so if I get something that interfaces with that it would be great but it seems Quickbooks out of the box doesn't do that. I am also hoping to switch to the Mac version of Quickbooks but am worried I'll have a harder time finding a scanner solution.
What I will use this for is reading in new inventory when it comes in and also scanning it as it is shipped out.

We are mostly Macs. Are accountants use Quickbooks on the P.C. (by the way, if your using Quickbooks on a P.C. right now, I don't think you are going to like the Mac version.)
We handle all our orders and inventory in Filemaker. Using a plugin called Filebooks Link : http://www.filebookslink.com , we post all our orders from Filemaker to Quickbooks with the click of a button. You should easily be able to hook a bar code scanner to filemaker and it's both P.C. and Mac compatible.
The developer who hooked this up for us is KSI : www.ksi.ca
Hope that helps a bit!
