With Coronavirus vaccine administration in full swing, keeping on track with your distribution timeline is an essential but vulnerable process. It can be difficult and stressful to monitor and track the vaccines as they travel through the supply chain from production and shipping to pharmacy and patients. With the added concern of volatile vaccine expiration, it is crucial that you have access to your HIS software at a moment’s notice through your mobile device. However, long workdays may drain your phone battery and taking the time to manually enter barcodes into your mobile device is an avoidable stress in your staff’s daily workflow.

With the healthcare industry in mind, Code Corporation has designed a barcode scanning solution for your iOS and Android mobile devices to convert the built-in camera into an enterprise-grade barcode scanner. Their disinfectant-ready, fully enclosed iPhone battery cases will also increase efficiency in your healthcare operations by reducing downtime from low batteries.

With growing concerns about reducing patient care costs and mobile device maintenance costs, it is now more critical than ever that fewer devices take care of a greater number of tasks.

Combining the familiarity of smartphones with enterprise-grade functionality and reliability, Code’s Cortex Decoder software transforms your iOS or Android device’s built-in camera into a fully functioning enterprise-level barcode scanner. Offered in annual licenses, this software gives you the chance to kill two birds with one phone.

What is it?

Not all barcode scanners or data capture devices are compatible with Apple iOS devices, and for those that are, a significant amount of testing and development are required to assure proper device operation. However, after a huge demand from small and medium-sized business owners to incorporate iPads, iPhones, and other Apple devices into their workforce management workflow, Apple invested extensive time and resources into certifying iOS devices with select data capture devices. Now, business owners have the ability to connect their Apple device to a data capture device via Bluetooth or a physical sled or cradle in order to conduct asset tracking, point of sale, inventory management, and other applications.

When is it coming?

iOS compatibility exists today. Many businesses ranging from small to enterprise-level are using iPads, iPhones and iPods to perform inventory management, asset tracking, and mobile point of sale activities.
