Please Read Before Buying a Mobile Scanner
Finale Inventory's mobile barcode scanning application is called Finale Data Collector.
We strongly recommend you use an Android-OS-based, dedicated mobile scanning device. You may use Android phones and tablets as well but are slightly more cumbersome to use in a "mobile" fashion and the lack of a laser for scanning barcodes slows processing down a tidbit.
Buy your scanner hardware from anywhere
Our Finale Inventory barcode scanning application is hardware agnostic. We do not require you to use any specific make, model, or brand, nor do you have to purchase your hardware from our preferred vendors. As long as your hardware meets the minimum OS and Hardware specifications you should be able to use it with our application.
We do have a list of preferred hardware vendors for you to choose from. They stand behind and service the products that they sell. They provide outstanding customer support, and pre-configure and install our software so they are ready-to-go, out of the box.
If you need assistance selecting a scanner, the link below contains a list of other Android-OS-based scanners and Windows mobile OS-based scanner options from a recommended non-affiliated hardware provider.

Besides a dedicated Android-OS-based mobile scanner, our application should work on most Android phones and tablets.

Many customers have used Android OS PCs and Tablets as shipping stations, complete with wireless keyboards and tethered Bluetooth scanners with great success.

Finale Inventory also supports the use of Windows Mobile OS-based scanners. Only with WiFi Connections.
If your organization has an existing investment in Windows Mobile OS-based scanning hardware, you should be able to use them or acquire them if desired. This OS platform is being phased out by Microsoft and hardware manufacturers alike.
If you do not already own Windows Mobile OS-based hardware devices, we strongly recommend acquiring Android OS-based hardware. Here are some options for Windows Mobile OS based Scanners:
