How to Monitor Scanning Errors

Understanding scanning error messages

What is an error message?

An error message appears on your tablet's screen/UI after a failed scan attempt, letting you know why the scan was not successful.

Where can you track error metrics?

On an individual scanner's page in Volumental Cloud, you can see each individual store's:

  • Outcome graph: successful vs. failed scan metrics
  • Error message breakdown

What can you do with this data?

Having to redo a scan due to an error takes time away from your store staff and can create a negative experience for the customer.

By tracking your stores' error metrics on Cloud, you can identify potential negative trends in your stores' scanner operations & usage.

These insights into your stores empower you to suggest solutions for any trending errors.
