It is possible that you need to scan items in a location that has no Internet connection or the Internet connection is limited to certain areas. 


You can perform offline scanning for the following action:

  • Verification


The scanned items are cached and you can check them in the offline list. Once your device is connected to the Internet again, you can log in to the mobile application, open the offline scanned items in the Serialized Logistics application, and submit all items at once.


Note: Offline scanning is only possible when Movilitas Mobile application is installed on a mobile device. Offline scanning is not supported in a web browser.


The procedure described below takes the use case when the operator scans the items by using the camera of the mobile device.

  • For mobile devices with built-in scanners, the GUI buttons related to scanning, like Continue Scan, may not be displayed and you need to press the physical button on the device to scan.
  • For devices with external (table) scanners, you can point the scanner to the barcode to scan and you can ignore the GUI buttons on the screen related to scanning.
