Scan2Flow

Scan 2 Flow

Enterprise barcode workflows without enterprise WMS complexity. Scan2Flow is a browser barcode workflow platform for scan stations - capture on phones or handhelds, apply rules per scan, and hand off to the WMS, ERP, CRM, or webhook stack your team already runs.

Scan anything. Trigger anything.

Not a WMS, ERP, or Shopify app replacement. Use it when your systems already own orders, stock, and records, and you need scan capture in days - not a months-long vendor mobile app rollout.

Scan barcodes and QR codes, then route data to APIs, links, HTML render, or iframe workflows

How It Works

1

Create a workflow

Define triggers and actions: HTTP API, URL, HTML render, iframe, or validation beep.

2

Select the workflow

Pick one enabled workflow on Scan so the next capture uses the right rules.

3

Scan or enter codes

Use the camera, a Bluetooth or USB scanner, or manual entry for QR codes and barcodes.

Demo workflows are on by default. Open Scan to test tickets, inventory, assets, and pharmacy flows. Use the fake data dashboard to view or edit sample rows, then scan the matching demo codes.

Features

Browser-based: runs in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on phones, handhelds, enterprise mobile computers, and desktops - no app store install.

Flexible input: camera scanning, Bluetooth/USB wedge scanners, and manual code entry on any supported browser device.

Workflow actions: open URLs, call APIs, render HTML/JS, show iframe responses, or play validation beeps.

Barcode API: decode images and generate QR codes for tickets, labels, and links.

Installable PWA: add Scan2Flow to your home screen on phones and handhelds for a full-screen scan station without an app store.

Private by design: no accounts or database. Workflows stay local and scans go to your endpoint.

Demo ready: sample workflows and hosted data help you test flows quickly.

Supports common 1D and 2D formats, including QR, Data Matrix, Code 128, EAN-13, UPC, and more.API Reference

Two scanner usage modes

Scan2Flow has two ways to use the scanner page. Standard mode is the default for exploration and camera scanning. Terminal mode is the floor station layout for pinned devices and Flow Link QR deploy.

Standard scanner

Default on /scanner

App chrome with bottom nav, camera-first layout, workflow picker, and demo tools. Best for first visits, BYOD trials, and desk-side setup.

Terminal scan station

Settings, Flow Link, or ?mode=terminal

Full-screen station UX: workflow menu, wedge-first active task, large last-result feedback, and no marketing chrome. Best for warehouse lanes, docks, and MDM-pinned handhelds.

Deploy scan stations with Flow Link

Print a QR or copy a link from the Flow page. Operators open terminal mode with one workflow selected - no typing URLs on the warehouse floor.

Flow Link guide Open Flow page

Roadmap

Manual entry / Bluetooth

Done

Type codes by hand or use Bluetooth and USB scanners as keyboard input.

Flow Link and station QR

Done

Copy a station URL or download a QR from Flow. Opens terminal mode with one workflow on phones and handhelds.

Bulk scan and send

Planned

Buffer multiple scans, then send one batch payload to your workflow or WMS API.

Embeddable scanner

Planned

Host the scanner on your own pages so users stay on your site while they scan.

Built-in data tables

Planned

Tables in the app for data that is not only tied to a workflow. Edit rows without a full external API.

CSV export

Planned

Export scan results and history to CSV for spreadsheets or other tools.

Offline support

Planned

Queue scans when you are offline and sync or send them when the connection returns.

Why Scan 2 Flow

If your WMS vendor mobile app and connector are already live, use those full menus on supported devices. Scan2Flow is for SMB teams that have the API but still need barcode workflows without enterprise WMS complexity.

Native WMS or TMS app

  • Full vendor menus, pick lists, and stock screens on licensed devices
  • Best when the connector, devices, and support contract are already in place
  • Heavy rollout if you only need scan-to-API at a few stations

Scan 2 Flow scan layer

  • Your WMS, TMS, ERP, or FSM stays the system of record. We only capture barcodes in the browser.
  • Configure workflows that POST or GET to the endpoints you already expose.
  • Phones, wedge scanners, and manual entry on one page. No new native app.

Built for lean teams

Vendor WMS mobile rollouts bundle connector licenses, MDM, and services on top of handheld hardware. Browser barcode workflows let SMB teams pilot scan stations in days before committing to full enterprise WMS complexity.

Scan 2 Flow adds a lightweight scan front-end in front of your API. It does not replace vendor WMS or TMS menus.

Enterprise system compatibility vs Orca Scan

When Scan2Flow is enough vs when a full WMS is better

Honest fit guidance for SMB operators and integrators evaluating scan capture.

Scan2Flow is often enough when

  • You need receive, count, pick confirm, or transfer scans at a few stations
  • Your WMS, ERP, or middleware already exposes REST or webhook endpoints
  • Operators work from phones, wedge PCs, or existing Android handhelds in Chrome
  • You want to pilot barcode workflows in days before a full vendor mobile rollout

A full WMS mobile app is often better when

  • You need task-guided picking, replenishment, and slotting inside one vendor UI
  • Inventory math, min/max, and PO generation must live in the handheld experience
  • You require offline queues, bulk sessions, or two-way task sync from the WMS
  • RF infrastructure, SAP-certified flows, or enterprise MDM are already mandated

How Scan 2 Flow compares

Scan2Flow is a barcode workflow platform, not a full WMS or TMS client. Compare deployment time, license cost, and workflow customization versus a native vendor app or a custom build.

FeatureScan2FlowDIY / CustomNative WMS/TMS app
SetupOpen the browser. No app, SDK, or account.Build and maintain scanner UI, routing, and hosting.Vendor WMS or TMS mobile app: connector project, device enrollment, and services - often months before floor use.
Input methodsCamera, Bluetooth/USB wedge scanner, manual entry, or browser on phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, and rugged industrial Android.Depends on what you build.Vendor-supported scanners and handhelds inside the native app.
Workflow outputsURLs, APIs, HTML render, iframes, validation beeps.Custom code for every action.Full WMS or TMS menus, pick lists, and stock screens in the vendor app.
BYOD costReuse phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, and wedge workstations; dedicated scanners are often overkill when browser capture is enough.Possible, but you own development and support.Usually tied to licensed devices and connector upkeep.
Deployment and licensingOpen a browser workflow in hours or days. No WMS mobile connector license for scan-only stations. Same scan UX whether data hands off to your WMS API or ERP webhook.You own build time, hosting, device support, and every workflow change.Per-device licenses, connector upkeep, MDM, and vendor services for full WMS menus on handhelds.
PrivacyWorkflows stay local. Scans go to your endpoint.You must design and audit the data flow.Follows vendor app storage and cloud policies.
Demo and testingDemo workflows and sample data are ready by default.Requires test data, fixtures, and backend setup.Test through vendor sandbox, devices, and connector setup.

Browser-based on any device you already have

Browser-based capture on BYOD phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, or wedge-scanner workstations. Often enough to skip buying dedicated scanners when the job is capture-and-send, not a full WMS handheld rollout. Pilot on legacy fleets in Chrome before native app deployment. Dedicated rugged terminals still make sense for harsh sites and extreme scan volume.
