I work at a bicycle shop. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I have a really nice mountain bike! It’s the biggest bike shop in town, and as you probably can guess my friends are all jealous because they all have crummy jobs. Anyway, our owner just really kicked things up a notch in the whole technology department.

For years, whenever anyone wanted to buy something, we had to manually punch the part number into the computer. That’s all fine and dandy, except that some of the part numbers are really long and even will often times contain letters. It is very time consuming. Plus, if you miss just one number or letter, everything gets all screwed up!

So the owner went out and bought a barcode printer and some cordless barcode scanners. Welcome to the 21st century! It all hooked right into the existing inventory control software too. That meant that none of us had to learn a whole new system which had been a concern of mine when I first heard he was doing this. So without reinventing the wheel or really changing things up that much, he went and made my job a lot easier.
