Can you use multiple scanners at the same time? I want to track 10 employees who take parts and chemicals from my shop every morning. They are all at the shop at the same time so Id like each one to have their own scanner that tells me what they took from the shop.

Thanks for watching! You can use multiple scanners, absolutely, as long as they are each signed into their own user account. You can read more about our scanners here: www.inflowinventory.com/support/cloud/how-do-i-use-a-barcode-scanner-with-inflow/#inflow_tab_0
Thanks! :)
