Frequently asked questions
Questions about this scenario.
Must a consumable be stored in a classic Kanban bin?
No. An ordering point can represent a bin, shelf, cabinet or any other defined place where recurring demand is triggered.
Do users need a dedicated QR-code scanner?
No. The QR code can be scanned with the native camera of a regular smartphone. KanbanSignal then opens the prepared ordering point in the app or browser.
Is a new demand immediately visible to the responsible team?
Yes. Confirmed demand and subsequent status changes are synchronized in real time across connected mobile and desktop devices.
