Barcoding Solutions by GSM Barcoding
Scan & capture technology for SME’s
Many small businesses start with paper-based systems or spreadsheets to manage data capture & recording tasks, such as stock control. While these methods are reasonably manageable initially, they can become problematic as the business grows, resulting in data errors, slow processing, and inadequate reporting.
Implementing Auto-ID technology, such as barcoding and RFID, automates data capture. This brings small businesses a number of advantages, including eliminating errors, speeding up operations, and providing management with real-time visibility, which enhances efficiency and supports better decision-making. Implementing a barcoding system can be daunting for many businesses. Our team at GSM barcoding can provide expert advice on the right technology for your unique needs, so feel free to talk to us for some advice on your project.
Printing systems for small businesses
Quality label printing is important to prevent disruption and ensure a smooth supply chain. Businesses wishing to integrate into supply chains must comply with labelling and barcoding compliance rules, which can include designing labels in a specific format with a particular barcode symbology or incorporating specific data. Failure to comply can result goods being rejected upon delivery and fines, as in the case of the automobile industry.
To keep goods moving, quality labelling that comply to your business needs are essential. GSM Barcoding can provide bureaux services, designing, sourcing and supplying bespoke labels including sequential and variable data printed labels, and specialist labels with unique qualities designed for you. We can also help you with inhouse printing set-up including label design software, plain labels and finding right printers for you.

Wireless Networking for Business
Wireless networking is the backbone infrastructure of modern business practices, enabling flexible mobile working across your business and facilitating remote working. Investing in professional wireless services, networking technology and mobile devices opens the door to improving workflow design and processes.

Our team can help you with selecting wireless networked technology, mobile handsets and printers and support the implementation and maintenance of your network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is barcoding just for large businesses? How can it help an SME?
As barcoding has developed since 1970 into a mature technology, we can see the cost of investment has come down, and with computing power increasing and networking becoming more stable and reliable, small businesses are seeing the benefits of barcoding. From small companion scanners connected to tablets via Bluetooth to small desktop printers and Bartender label design software, you can be up and running with barcoding in no time and with a limited budget.
What are the productivity gains in barcoding for SMB’s?
Barcoding transforms the process of data capture from manual recording to an automated approach. In business operations such as receiving goods, storing items, and picking and packing, the ability to scan products enhances the speed and accuracy of these tasks. This improvement not only fosters greater accountability and visibility throughout operations but also leads to significant productivity gains.
Should I print in-house or consider buying my labels pre-printed?
When considering your options, there are many factors to consider. Enlisting the services of a skilled professional like GSM Barcoding for the design and printing of your labels ensures not only exceptional quality but also opens up a world of possibilities. You’ll benefit from a diverse selection of adhesives and materials, empowering you to choose labels that can withstand even the harshest conditions, whether it’s blistering heat or exposure to corrosive chemicals. With their expertise, your labels will be tailored to meet the demands of extreme environments, ensuring durability and reliability in every application. The performance of these labels is of high quality, but they must be ordered in advance and tend to be higher cost than labels printed in-house.
