Keeps counting offline
If the internet drops, the scanner keeps counting. Captures stay safe on the device and are sent as soon as the connection is back.
Stocktaking scanner · App
Stocktaking with scanners.
The app for your Android devices.
NP PRO turns your Android scanners and mobile computers – for example from Zebra – into stocktaking scanners. We adapt the app to your device model and Android version: scan the zone, capture items, keep counting – even when the store loses internet. The inventory lead sees every zone live in the NP Inventur program.
Example: Zebra TC56. NP PRO is adapted to your Android device – model and Android version are agreed together.
Scan the barcode, close the zone, see it live.
A stocktake with barcode scanners is only as good as the data that arrives from the devices. That is why every single capture in NP Inventur gets a unique ID. Nothing is counted twice and nothing is lost – not even when a scanner briefly drops off the Wi-Fi and sends again later.
Counters sign in with their badge, scan the zone and capture the items. Every completed zone appears immediately in the inventory lead’s program on Mac or Windows – with quantity, value, time and counter.
What the stocktaking scanner does
Catalogue by QR code
The scanner loads the client’s item catalogue by QR code straight from the inventory lead’s laptop – even without internet in the store.
Laptop as scanner hub
Optionally, scans run through the laptop on the local Wi-Fi. It stores every capture and forwards it to the server in the right zone order.
Zones and badges
Scan the zone, the employee badge, the items: every quantity belongs to a zone and a person – the basis for checks, ranking and TCA.
Live for the inventory lead
Progress per zone, area range and team leader in real time – in the program for Mac and Windows and in the client portal.
Control tablet
NP checks and client checks have their own tablet: recount zones, confirm or correct differences.

Frequently asked questions
Which scanners are supported for stocktaking?
Android scanners and mobile computers from different manufacturers, for example Zebra. The NP PRO app is adapted to your device model and Android version – we agree together on which device fits.
Do I need a specific scanner model?
No. NP Inventur is the software; you choose the devices. We check your model and adapt NP PRO to it.
Does the stocktake work without internet?
Yes. The scanner keeps counting offline and sends the captures later. With the laptop as scanner hub, scans run through the laptop on the local Wi-Fi, which keeps them until the server is reachable again.
Where does the item catalogue on the scanner come from?
The client’s catalogue is imported as CSV, Excel or in the client format. The scanner loads it by QR code from the inventory lead’s laptop.
Can a zone be counted twice?
Every capture carries a unique ID. If a scanner sends the same data again, it is not counted twice.
In which formats is the inventory data exported?
As PDF, Excel, CSV and TXT, and in each client’s own format. Which reports appear is set per client.
Can NP Inventur be bought or rented?
Both are possible. We prepare the offer on request.
