anyone doing this? I was looking at buying quickbooks and say the high end software offers this feature so it got me thinking.... It would be cool to have a barcode scanner and just scan items as they are used.

For example.... installer is out in the field. You stock hdmi cables of various sizes. Installer needs to terminate some cat 6 as well. He scans the cables, scans the connectors and bam, inventory is updated, low stock alerts can be sent or automatic reorders.

I see value in this.

Anyone use this kind of solution. If so what offering did you go with, whats the costs associated, etc. Quickbooks wants a grand a year for software that has this capability. That is way beyond the investment level i'd like to make at the moment.
