Using a bar code reader to creating a record

Hi All,

 

We would like to scan a bar code and have it create a record in Salesforce on a custom object, as well as an activity record.  Has anyone had success doing this?

Not really sure what you're asking.  Barcode isn't anything special.  Creating entries in Salesforce isn't anything special.  What's the trouble?

 

Use something like RedLaser which has a SDK for reading barcodes.  Once you've read it, use Salesforce API to add a new record.  Easy.

I have developed an app which scan barcodes and send to salesforce. And on salesforce I store data in custom objects.

Please write at least 4 sentences, more the better.  What problem are you having?  It sounds like you've got everything working.

 Hi,
Our requirement is to scan the Barcode image and store the Barcode number in salesforce.
Is this feature is available in your app. If Yes, how it works.

You can check out this barcode reader (http://www.businessrefinery.com/products/barcode_reader_net/main.html), and compile some codings to export to your target report.

If salesforce has API that support working with barcode scanner library, I just can integrate the resources to it.
And for barcode reading resources, I found .net (http://www.keepdynamic.com/dotnet-barcode-reader/) and java (http://www.keepdynamic.com/java-barcode-reader/) resources.
They maybe helpful, I think.
