Our Mobile scanning application will not run on any iOS device, but you may use the mobile scanning application on an Android OS-based device, and it will communicate directly to your Finale Inventory cloud application via WiFi and is thus compatible with users who use a Mac or Windows PC. The mobile scanning application is independent of the computer and operating system and web browser you are using.
Finale Inventory's mobile barcode scanning application is called Finale IMS Barcode Scanner.
The Android app can be downloaded from the Google Play store.
We strongly recommend you use an Android OS-based, dedicated mobile scanning device, running OS version 8.1 or higher. You may use Android phones and tablets as well but are slightly more cumbersome to use in a "mobile" fashion and the lack of a laser for scanning barcodes slows processing down a bit.
ANDROID-OS Based Minimum Hardware Requirements
Operating system version: Android OS 8.1 or greater
Specifications: WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Touch Display, 1GB RAM / 8GB Flash, 1D/2D barcode scanner or embedded camera
Buy your scanner hardware from anywhere
Our Finale Inventory barcode scanning application is hardware agnostic. We do not require you to use any specific make, model, or brand, nor do you have to purchase your hardware from our preferred vendors. As long as your hardware meets the minimum OS and Hardware specifications, you should be able to use it with our application.
We do have a list of preferred hardware vendors for you to choose from. They stand behind and service the products that they sell. They provide outstanding customer support, and pre-configure and install our software so they are ready-to-go, out of the box.
If you need assistance selecting a scanner, the link below contains a list of other Android-OS-based scanners and Windows mobile OS-based scanner options from a recommended non-affiliated hardware provider.
