UPC Scanning
a. Feature Summary
Scanlily’s UPC and EAN Lookup feature allows you to scan existing UPC and EAN barcodes to pull up product information, image and prices and then instantly populate this information into Scanlily.
Drawing from a database of over 550 million product UPC matches, the Scanlily UPC feature makes quick work of populating your home or business inventory.
This feature saves research and manual data entry for each product. It's an efficient way to add items with existing UPC codes.
