Collect Item Data

Item data capture is the process of collecting all relevant information about a product or SKU so it can be stored, tracked, and used efficiently in a warehouse, supply chain, or retail system. This typically includes:

• Dimensions – length, width, height, and volume of the item.
• Weight – for shipping, pallet planning, or load optimization.
• Photos – visual reference for identification, e-commerce, or quality control.
• Barcodes or QR codes – for scanning and tracking.
• Custom attributes – any additional fields relevant to the business,
  like expiration dates, batch numbers, or handling instructions.

Having proper, accurate item data is critical because it powers every decision and process in your warehouse or supply chain. Proper data ensures you:

• Optimize space and storage – know exactly what fits where.
• Reduce errors and rework – fewer mistakes in picking, packing, and shipping.
• Improve speed and efficiency – employees spend less time guessing or double-checking.
• Plan effectively – accurate data enables better forecasting, load planning, and inventory management.
• Support scalability – as your operation grows, reliable data makes expansion and automation smoother.

You can scan barcodes, record weights, take high-resolution photos, and log attributes such as dimensions, descriptions, SKU numbers, unit of measure, or condition notes – all in one workflow.

Your organization has up to 12 custom fields to work with.
