Designing a barcode app customizable for various business needs
From a simple product of 1D barcode generation for Salesforce users to a sophisticated solution with 2D barcode generation and barcode scanning within the Salesforce mobile app, Noltic helped make this product a success with over 100 clients and increasing with every month.
Gimbal Logic is an IT service provider that builds comprehensive cloud-based solutions for accounting, inventory management, and workflow automation for companies from the manufacturing, construction, and professional services industries.
Gimbal Barcode is a mobile application for barcode generation and scanning developed by Noltic. It lets users create and print barcode tags and labels that correspond to different records in Salesforce. Using the application allows you to improve inventory management, document management and processing along with time tracking for employees.
Our task was to develop a solution for generating and scanning 1D scan codes (barcodes) or 2D scan codes (QR-codes, data matrices) that could update Salesforce standard or custom objects according to the retrieved information.
From concept to launch, we provide comprehensive product development services to meet your needs.
