Seamless Packout using a Barcode Printer

Hardware Considerations

Choosing a Barcode Printer

A barcode printer is an integral piece of hardware to help organize locations, equipment, employees, and most importantly to catalog contents during the packout process, facilitating inventory control all the way through to packback. For Pack-out Labels, any Laser Printer using Avery 8160 Labels or any Continuous Roll Label Printer will work. If a laser printer is used for Pack-Out Labels, a brother wireless label printer for Pack-Back Labels is highly recommended, as the need to print on demand labels would be essential during production.

Labels that are at least 2.25″ by 1.25″ at a minimum are required for any continuous roll label printer.
Ensure you have the right printer ink type for the label you purchase.

Tablets and PC’s

iCAT is a cloud product which means it can be accessed on mobile devices (iPad, Galaxy Tablet, Surface) or any computer with internet access. Laptops are recommended.

Packout Devices

The iCat Inventory (Contractor Edition) app is available on iTunes App Store. The app requires the use of Apple Mobile devices with iOS11 or higher (e.g. iPhone 5S or newer, iPad mini 2 or newer, iPad Air or newer, iPad 5th-gen or newer, All iPad Pros, and latest 6th-gen iPod Touch). Some AR (Augmented Reality) features are available only on iOS devices with A9 or newer CPU chip. The iCat Inventory app might run on some older unsupported devices but it’s highly recommended to use devices with iOS11 or higher.

Handheld Barcode Scanners

For basic warehousing and cleaning operations, iCat recommends using the contractor edition of the iCat Inventory app on your compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod. The app based Production View contains smart scanning technology designed to make the basics of warehouse transfers and cleaning tasks a breeze.

After the trauma of our flood you came in and took care of everything, from organizing to packing to delivery & unpacking. I am beyond thrilled with the customer service from Bin and his team and will definitely recommend their services. They communicated every step of the way and I am extremely satisfied.

Virginia Rose

Let me say that iCAT was excellent. We were online quite a few times to review what was cataloged. It made the process of understanding what we had in storage very easy, especially because it is visual. It’s a very cool service that you provided, frankly I hope we don’t have to use again!

Mark Kopytek

We were very satisfied with the service. The staff were very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend your service. RBC Insurance is also aware of how pleased we were. We were very impressed with the cooperation of your staff.
