A 2D scanner can be an excellent tool to save time and eliminate errors when
used for package tracking software input. With the right software; the tracking
solution can parse out the package tracking number, sender, recipient, weight
and other information contained in the 2D, 2 dimensional bar code, on the
FedEx package label. By auto-populating the fields in the package tracking
software; significant time savings are realized as well as the elimination of
keystroke errors.
The 2D barcode on a parcel can be recognized by it's larger, more squared
shaped footprint and by the 'scrambled egg' appearance of it's data picture.
It has been around for many years and is well proven but few software
programs particularly package tracking software programs take advantage
of it. Evaluate this feature and determine if it's benefits may assist in your
organization. The cost differential between 1D and 2D scanners is small
but you must utilize software that is advanced enough to process the
additional information and place it where you need it to save time in your
package tracking process.
