Android App Development for the City of Appleton: Cycle Counts on Zebra Scanners

The challenge

The City of Appleton counted warehouse inventory by hand, and errors were common. The city needed a digital tool that could hold up in a working warehouse and fit with the systems it already used.

What we built

We built an Android cycle counting app for Zebra MC9300 rugged scanners. It guides each person through a scan-and-confirm flow, so there is less typing and fewer count mistakes. It is built for high-volume counting where speed and consistency matter.

• Guided scan-and-confirm counting on rugged Zebra hardware
• Less manual entry and fewer count errors
• A traceable record of every count

How we worked

We set up the data so every count can be traced and repeated the same way across teams. That gives the city a clean base for more warehouse workflows, better reporting and new integrations later.
