On the handheld
Everyday work, guided by the scanner
A few of the tasks Raptool apps run on a handheld scanner.
Goods receiving
Scan the delivery in on the handheld against the purchase order, or without an order, and post it to a shelf.
Picking
Every pick line gets its own screen, and the handheld rejects a wrong location code.
Stock counts
Count with barcode scanning. Differences adjust the stock level and are logged.
Batch, serial and best-before
Track batch numbers, serial numbers and best-before dates as you scan.

Runs on the devices your team carries
The Raptool Client is a native app for Android, iOS, Windows and Mac. Mix phones, tablets and rugged scanners on the same floor. Raptool is a Zebra Technologies partner and also works with Honeywell, Datalogic and Newland devices.
Zebra handheldsPurpose-built devices we recommend for the warehouse floor.
Honeywell wearablesVoice picking keeps your hands free.
Datalogic scannersScan barcodes with a rugged scanner, or with the camera on any Android or iOS smartphone.
Ring and handheld scannersWearable ring scanners and handhelds for fast, hands-on scanning.
Choosing hardware
Smartphone or rugged handheld?
A modern smartphone camera reads most barcodes and QR codes, which is a good, cheap start for light scanning. A purpose-built handheld from makers such as Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic or Newland is designed for all-day scanning, with a dedicated scan engine that reads damaged, small or distant barcodes.
The steps in between
Phones with a scanner sled, rugged phones and wearable ring scanners fill the gap. Because the same Raptool app runs on all of them, you can start with the devices you have.

FAQ
Handheld scanner apps: common questions
Which handheld barcode scanners do Raptool apps work with?
Raptool is a Zebra Technologies partner and recommends Zebra handhelds for the warehouse floor. Raptool also works with Honeywell, Datalogic and Newland devices. The Raptool Client runs natively on Android, iOS, Windows and Mac, so the same app also runs on phones, tablets and laptops.
Do we need rugged scanners, or can we use smartphones?
Both work. Staff can scan with the camera on any Android or iOS phone, or with a rugged scanner, and you can mix them on the same floor. Smartphones are a good start for light and occasional scanning; all-day scanning, drops, cold and gloves are where rugged devices earn their price. Read Rugged scanner or smartphone?
Do the scanner apps work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. The Raptool Client works online and offline. Staff keep scanning when the network drops, and the work syncs when the device is back in range. Read more in Offline mode: keep scanning when Wi-Fi drops.
Can the same handheld also read RFID tags and print labels?
Yes. The Raptool Client gives your apps access to barcode scanners, the camera, RFID readers and label and receipt printers. See RFID warehouse tracking and the Label Designer.
Can we build our own scanner app?
Yes. Build it without code in Raptool Designer, or describe the app in plain words in the AI Development Framework and Raptool builds it. Your screens can use the camera, barcode scanners, RFID readers and label or receipt printers.
