We have 300+ pc's, monitors and peripherals we would like to track which primarily would be made easier with barcode scanners albeit not by having to export the data from the scanner into SD+, rather it would be easier to have a pda/phone that integrates directly with SD+ and utilises the inbuilt camera to scan the barcode and then return the details for the barcode and allow allocation of assets or a change of status directly from the pda/phone live on the system.  I can see this being developed as an app or just as a webpage for mobile devices on the network to use for asset management.  We could also use this for loaning out equipment rather than having to rely on the paper based system we currently use and auditing our users to ensure that the assets are allocated properly.  A 2D barcode facility would be useful as they can automatically open up an url which can point to the asset in question.

 

I have been playing around with the barcode app for android phones and can see this being a very useful feature.
