Dispatch - Depot Scan

Depot Scan allows you to quickly mark orders as picked up by scanning their barcodes using a USB scanner attached to a computer using X Dispatch. Each barcode scanned will be matched to an order and the order will be marked as picked up. The barcodes will also be printed on the form along with messages indicating success or failure in marking the orders as picked up.
