TRACS Barcode ScanningHave you ever noticed how surprisingly fast it is to ring up a cart full of groceries at the grocery store? Checking out is quick and easy thanks to barcodes and barcode scanners. We’ve built the same technology into NAPA TRACS. Using a TRACS barcode scanner is a huge time saver. Use it to pull up orders, add parts or inventory items, or add vehicle information without extra keystrokes or manual entry.

TRACS barcode scanning featuresWhen set up, TRACS will add a barcode to your estimates, return orders, job tickets, purchase orders, and invoices. Scan the barcode on the printout, and TRACS will automatically open up that job so you can make changes.
