Grocery stores have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, quickly updating store policies to keep customers and employees safe. One way to follow social distancing guidelines and quickly scan a full cart is with a secondary barcode scanner for added flexibility.

How Can Secondary Barcode Scanners Help Your Cashiers?

In addition to the scanner at the checkout, a handheld scanner has many uses for grocery store clerks – it lets you easily scan large items left in the cart, or scan heavy items without picking them up, and easily scans a customer’s store card or a coupon displayed on their phone.

Right now, they also allow the store to minimize contact. A secondary scanner can scan store apps, coupons and store cards without physically touching the items.

Shop Honeywell Grocery & Retail Solutions at Barcodes, Inc.

Honeywell’s Xenon Extreme Performance barcode scanners are a powerful tool for busy grocery and other retail stores. The Xenon XP 1952g wireless scanner is a popular option with several key features for retail:

• Easily reads barcodes, even on damaged packaging or poor-quality printing
• Optimized for scanning printed barcodes and codes on smartphones
• Can perform 450 scans off a single 60-second charge or 50,000 scans with a full charge

If you want a scanner customers can use to scan membership cards or coupons themselves to minimize contact even more, consider the Honeywell Vuquest 3320g scanner instead:

• Universal mounting option for fixed wall-mount scanning
• Scans 1D and 2D barcodes & screens like smartphones
• Laser-free aiming removes the risk of eye injury to customers

Social distancing guidelines are helping to stop the spread of COVID-19. Yet they present a new challenge for retail stores – especially grocery stores hit hard by changes in demand and shopping habits. Click and collect solutions have been slowly growing in the retail industry and allow customers to order online and pickup their items curbside with no contact for safety.

Honeywell’s wide range of retail products includes mobile computers, barcode printers, scanners, and more can help your store continue to serve customers in these quickly changing times.

What is Click and Collect Shopping?

Grocery stores have been slowly transitioning to online shopping; according to Nielsen, 4% of grocery sales were online in 2019. But recent data has shown how much demand there is to order groceries online and pick them up.

Click and collect shopping uses an online portal where customers place their grocery orders and select a pickup time. Employees can then go pick the orders and pack them, and then load them into customer’s cars at the pickup location.

This shopping style is convenient for the customers who can order at their leisure and helps maintain social distancing by reducing crowds in stores.

What You Need for Click and Collect Shopping

Some grocery store chains have their own version of click and collect shopping, managed through the store directly. There are also third-party services that customers can use, which are also growing in popularity right now.

Honeywell’s wide range of retail solutions can help your store set up or expand a click and collect grocery shopping option.

Mobile handheld computers like the Honeywell CT40 Mobile Computer, with a built-in Mobility Edge platform, make it easy to pull up the order list and pick items. Built-in scanning technology helps the employee know they picked the right item and can feed back into your inventory reports.

Mobile printers like the Honeywell RP4e can create a printed ticket and receipt for your employees and the customers.

Other items you may want include headsets and mobile POS payment terminals.

Contact Barcodes, Inc. today to discuss your grocery business needs and how Barcodes, Inc. and Honeywell can help.

To stop the spread of COVID-19, businesses are moving to a remote work from home model. When that’s not possible and your employees need to be at work because you offer an essential critical service, you may be required to identify those employees as essential and authorized to work.

Why Choose an Essential Employee ID Card?

A letter identifying the employee as essential and allowed to work may meet the requirements, but a piece of paper is easy to lose, tear, or smudge with dirt or water. Durable PVC Essential Employee ID cards are made for daily use.

Essential employee ID badge backers (in vertical or horizontal) are easily paired with your existing employee ID – the larger sized badges hang below a standard CR80 size card so the bright red “ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE” text is clearly visible. This is a good option for employees who already have an ID badge to display.

If you don’t already have an employee ID badge to pair the new card with, these vertical or horizontal Essential Employee cards have eye-catching red text naming the employee essential and necessary for work.

How to Customize Your Essential Employee ID Cards

After your order has been placed, a Customer Satisfaction rep will contact you to get your business information. Customizable text fields for these cards:

• Company Name
• Company Phone Number
• Company Address (Line 1 & 2)
