Orca Scan Overview#

The Orca Scan API is a gateway to integrate barcode scanning and inventory management capabilities into various workflows. By leveraging the API, you can automate data collection, streamline inventory tracking, and sync your barcode scanning data with other systems. When used on Pipedream, you can merge Orca Scan functionalities with countless other apps, creating custom automation rules, processing data, and managing inventory in real-time. Ideal for inventory management, asset tracking, and data collection automation, the Orca Scan API is a tool that can adapt to a myriad of business needs.
