One bin, one barcode: loose lures and bobbers share the same problem
Loose lures and bobbers have no barcode of their own, so every one in a bin shares one barcode in the POS system (till). Scan it at the counter, and you get its price and the barcode your POS system already has.
In under a minute, Cordarro scans a bobber at the counter, LureScan identifies it, and it comes up in the POS system. (The video is in Swedish.)

The problem: one bin, one barcode
Most tackle shops sell loose soft plastics the same way. One bin, one price, one barcode. It keeps the counter moving, because staff only need to know which bin a lure came from.
The cost shows up in the POS system. Every lure in the bin rings up as the same item. The POS system knows the bin sold. It doesn't know which lure. We covered this in our post on loose lures in price groups and in what the POS system actually sees.
Bobbers and floats have the same problem
It isn't only lures. Bobbers and floats usually come without a barcode of their own too. There is no specific barcode tied to a specific bobber, so they end up grouped and rung up the same way.
Same gap, different bin. The POS system sees the group. Never the bobber.
How LureScan works: scan, identify, ring it up
The fix is the same for both.
- Scan the lure or bobber at the counter.
- LureScan identifies the exact one and shows its price and a barcode already registered in your POS system.
- Ring it up in the POS system you already have.
No new SKUs. One scan works for lures and bobbers alike, and the bobber comes up in the POS system like any other item.
