Supported Scanners
Warehouse-grade scanner hardware that pairs with InventoryPro Mobile and Desktop.
Choose the Scanner Your Team Can Live With
Dirty lenses, dead Wi-Fi zones, and the wrong scan range stall a shift more often than software does. The scanner is what your operators carry all day: get it wrong and you get slow scans, cracked screens, and re-buys inside two years.
We work with teams running InventoryPro from single-site operations to multi-warehouse networks. The models below are what we recommend based on field performance, vendor support timelines, and real device cost over time.

Where Each Model Shines
Zebra MC94 Series
The toughest unit here, with a physical keypad that works in cold storage and with gloved hands - the 12-foot drop rating is the highest in this class, and the keypad survives what touchscreens cannot.
Honeywell CT47
The dual-lens FlexRange XLR engine (Full Range variant) switches between near and far reads without a mode change - a few inches to 40+ feet. A strong pick for operations mixing shelf picks with high-rack scans.
Zebra TC53e
Carries a hardware Secure Element chip for sensitive supply chain data. A solid mid-market option under full enterprise pricing, with support running through 2032.
Honeywell CT37
The longest vendor support window on this list - through 2033. The best buy-once, hold-for-years pick for small-to-mid operations.
Zebra TC22
The budget entry point for small business and retail. Still Android 13+ with reliable scanning - a reasonable start where the floor does not need a heavy-duty chassis.
Datalogic Memor 35
Wireless charging removes the charging-pin failure mode that tops hardware complaint lists. A favorite in healthcare and cleanroom settings where contact points collect debris.
The Cost-Per-Year View
A dedicated scanner with a 5-10 year support window is often cheaper per year than consumer phones on a 2-3 year replacement cycle - before you count cases, repairs, and the labor to re-provision each device.
Add drop damage, battery degradation, and OS update support and the gap grows: warehouse devices are engineered for the floor, and consumer phones are not. We help teams run these numbers during workflow audits so the purchase decision is based on your actual device costs.
Pairs With InventoryPro Mobile
All scanners on this page are tested with InventoryPro Mobile. The mobile client runs in the browser on Android devices and covers receiving, issuing, cycle counts, transfers, and lookups. Scanner input lands straight in the active transaction field - no extra configuration for supported devices.
