In Plannit you have the possibility to create Custom fields based on a barcode or the ability to scan barcodes on your Stations / Devices in a Zone defined in your Work Order / Visit.

We support a large number of barcode formats, if not the vast majority of the barcodes commonly used on the market. The best way to test if a barcode is supported by Plannit is to point the barcode reader at a barcode you have and check if it can correctly read the barcode information.

Barcodes supported by Plannit

Important note

Please note that the list of barcode examples above is only a limited sample of the possibilities. Some types may include multiple subtypes that are also supported; it is impossible for us to list all the possibilities for each type in this article.

💡 Pointing Plannit's barcode reader at a barcode remains the best way to check if your barcode is compatible with our reader.
