Barcodes were first invented after the second world war as a way of putting information about a product neatly on a small label. In this way, stock can be labelled effectively, with more information in the barcode than would otherwise be possible to put on the product. Barcodes mean that items can be tracked, and this not only helps with the inventory, but also with stock management.

There are many keys to running a successful business, and one of them is not to disappoint the customer. Building a business requires growth, which inevitably means reaching higher sales – to achieve this, a company needs to be aware of the demand to ensure they can generate sufficient supply – this is where barcodes come in handy. As a product is sold, data can be registered on the system so managers are aware of exactly when, where and who sold the product. This is not just important for supply and demand – it also goes further by recognising which products are the most and least successful. New products in line with successful ones can be developed, while others that clearly aren’t working can be discontinued. Additionally, one can see variations in regional and seasonal sales. All this information can help businesses tailor their products to customers and work out how best to boost sales.
