Custom-quantity goods rarely come with a price tag.

Customers notice it. Sellers struggle with it. Our founders ran into it themselves: fabric cut to length, coffee weighed to order and hardware counted out by hand all need a price before they can be rung up.

When shop owners from those industries brought the problem to us, two innovators from the e-commerce world teamed up to create Scan Simple. It turns the barcode already printed on a product into a label your POS can scan, for exactly the quantity the customer is buying.

The old way

  • Handwritten tags at the cutting table
  • Codes punched into the register by hand
  • Lines at the counter and typos at checkout

With Scan Simple

  • Scan the barcode already on the product
  • Set the exact quantity the customer is buying
  • Print a label the register reads in one scan

Scan Simple is part of KERNO, Inc.

KERNO builds software for product creators, bringing inventory, formulas, batches, product costs and quality checks into one workspace. Scan Simple carries that same idea to the sales counter.
