Which Kit?
Bar-Stock Kit
There are a number of hardware options available to our customers.
To help you decide we have created a new one page online Shop which shows you your software choices and what hardware options you have. 
Data collection can either be performed on a handheld or your laptop.
Using a Handheld is more expensive but it can be quicker and more convenient especially for stockrooms and cellars. Some people use handhelds for most of the stock and then a laptop for open bottles. 
There are two choices of Handhelds:
  • Unitech PA500 - You use the built in barcode reader and  stylus for data entry. It also plugs into our USB scales. Priced from £595.95.
  • Honeywell Dolphin 7600 - This also has a keypad which speeds up data collection considerably but is more expensive at £999.95.
For data collection on your Laptop we use the Socket Cordless Hand Scanners:
  • Socket CHS 7E (Entry Level) - This requires good lighting and is OK for occasional use and is great value at £199.95.
  • Socket CHS 7M (Mid-Range) and 7P (Professional) are better and handle dimmer lighting and barcodes on most surfaces. From £299.95.
For weighing open bottles or kegs we supply the following:
  • Ohaus Scout Pro 6000 Scales with USB connector plugs into your laptop or Unitech PA500 allowing automatic weighing from £159.95.
  • MyWeigh Heavy Duty Scales allow you to wiegh kegs and barrels up to 120kg. Our price £89.95.
We can also pre-install all software and tools on new laptops and have other options, please visit the Shop for more details. 
Final Words 
So, we have streamlined our offering and simplified our shop to make it easier to decide what you need to start using BarStock.
Plus with new quarterly billing and full support with all standard packages, it's never been a better time to invest in improving how you run your business.
Thanks for reading...
