How to read barcodes with your phone in Addis Ababa
You do not need to buy a barcode scanner. In CheckThis, an Android phone's camera reads the barcode, finds the item and shows how much you have in each store. Here are the five steps.
The top 5

- Tap 📷 Scan in Stock managementPoint the camera at the barcode: the item, its stock in each store and its cost appear, and the phone vibrates when it has read the code.
- Count or receive by scanningChoose “Add to the list”, scan each item, then turn the list into a stock count, a receipt of goods or a transfer. Differences go to a second person for approval.
- Sell at the counter with the cameraIn APOPS POS tap 📷 and scan the customer's items; each one is added at its price.
