Barcodes are very important in inventory control. You can look at it from that standpoint. Even small businesses can track inventories through the use of barcodes. (That is, if they use computers!). Don’t forget- barcodes aren’t very useful if computers aren’t used.
When I refer to computers I mean cash registers and anything that uses computer chips to record transactions.
And, the companies that manufacture products with barcodes on them, use computers to track inventory. For example, big book stores like Borders and Barnes and Noble- use barcodes on their inventories to track sales of books, cds and the like. Inventories can be restocked by tracking how many books have been sold, etc.
One angle you can approach is to contact businesses that use barcodes and those that don’t. Ask questions like, how important are barcodes for your business? If you didn’t have the barcode system, how would you track inventory? For those businesses that don’t use barcodes ask about inventory and customer demand… how do they know it’s time to restock certain items? If you contact a business that used both systems- ask which system they prefer and why.
Just a few ideas to think about.
Sending packages anywhere can be tracked minute by minute.
How much information is stored in the bar code – product, size, description, price, where it was made, etc.
