Dear ALL,

I am currently researching the appropriate hardware for using the Pick, Pack, and Ship functionality in Acumatica for warehouse management (WMS).

I would like to ask the Acumatica Community for recommendations regarding the barcode scanning devices that are most suitable for this purpose.

Specifically:

  1. Which barcode scanning devices or handheld mobile computers does Acumatica recommend for Pick, Pack, and Ship?
  2. Are there any specific brands and models that are officially supported, recommended, or commonly used with Acumatica WMS?
  3. For a warehouse environment where warehouse workers need to walk around and continuously scan items, locations, shipments, boxes, totes, etc., would you recommend a rugged handheld device with a physical scan trigger/pistol grip rather than a standard smartphone-style mobile device?
  4. Are devices from Zebra, Honeywell, or Datalogic commonly used with Acumatica WMS? If so, which models have you successfully used?
  5. Does Acumatica have any hardware compatibility list, certification, or recommended device list for barcode scanning with the current Acumatica Mobile App / WMS functionality?
  6. Are there any specific requirements regarding the Android version, barcode scanner technology (1D/2D), keyboard wedge, scanner configuration, or Acumatica Mobile App that should be considered when selecting a device?

For example, I am currently looking at devices such as the Zebra TC22/TC27, but these look more like smartphone-style mobile computers and may not be as convenient for warehouse workers who need to scan continuously while walking around the warehouse.

I would appreciate recommendations based on real-world Acumatica WMS implementations, especially for the Pick, Pack, and Ship process.

Thank you in advance for your advice and experience.

Best Regards,

NNT

We use 4 of the Honeywell CK 65 for receiving, put-away, picking, shipments, cycle counting, bin lookups, etc.  It is a fairly rugged device capable of long-range scanning (our highest bins/labels are 26 feet high).  They have worked well for years.  Only issue has been a keyboard failure on one device.
