Scan QR codes in your app - Zite

Overview

QR codes and barcodes are a fast way to move from the physical world into your app. A Zite app can scan them with the device camera and pull the encoded value straight into a record lookup, workflow, or other operational process.

When someone points their camera at a code, the app reads it and hands the value to your app logic — no external service or setup required.

Zite apps can scan QR codes and barcodes. Generating a QR code from your own app data — for example encoding a contact card, map location, or payment link into a QR image to display, download, or print — isn’t supported yet.To let people open your published app by scanning, you can share your app as a QR code.

Add a scanner to your app

Tell the Agent you’d like to scan QR codes or barcodes, and Zite adds a camera scanner to your app. The scanner reads the code and passes the value to your app logic so you can look up a record, validate an entry, or start a workflow.

Supported formats include QR codes and common 1D barcodes — EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, Code 128, and Code 39.

Scan to ingest data

Scanning works especially well for operational workflows where a phone scan needs to ingest data quickly.

For example, an employee could use their phone to scan a QR code or barcode attached to a shelf, bin, or product and instantly pull up the matching stock information in Zite. From there, they could check inventory levels, confirm item details, log updates, or start a reorder workflow without searching for the record manually.

This kind of setup is especially useful for warehouses, retail backrooms, equipment rooms, and field teams who need fast access to the right record while moving around.
