You can enable faster payments or automate data collection by adding barcodes to a layout.

AroFlo includes a range of barcode options. From QR codes for payment (such as BPAY and GET PAID FASTER) to custom barcodes for machine-readable information (such as Task, Invoice, Inventory, Asset, Client, Location or Project data).

Some use cases of layout barcodes:

• Adding payment QR codes to give your client more choice and reduce the risk of payment errors.
• If you invoice Real Estate or Strata Management, using QR codes to get invoices processed faster.
• Adding barcodes that are generated from dynamic data (such as Task / Asset or Inventory information). Using a barcode system, these can then be used to automate workflows.
• Adding a QR code to easily open a task in either AroFlo Office or Field.
