💻 Web App Updates (app.scannable.io)
Supplier Connections & Manufacturer Production
You can now formally connect with the organisations who manufacture on your behalf, and track their work through one shared production view — without giving any supplier a login into the rest of your account.
Connect to another organisation from Settings → Connections using a shared connection code, or ask the Scannable team to broker one directly
Raise purchase orders naming who's doing the work — keep it in-house or hand it to a connected supplier
Your old Serialisation list is now a Production area, organised by purchase order, with side-panel serial views and per-run print actions
If you produce for a connected brand, their orders now show alongside your own, clearly labelled with their name and logo
Manufacturers get a dedicated Inventory page for the reels and finished goods you hold — mark an item cuttable and cut it into serialised lengths right from there, with length/splice filters and in-flow creation of new cut-length products
Change a SKU's Part Number
You can now correct a SKU's part number yourself from the SKU edit panel, alongside the name and EAN — no support request needed.
You'll be asked to confirm before the change is saved
Items already registered under the SKU stay attached to it
Labels you've already printed or etched keep the old part number
A part number already used by another live SKU in your catalogue can't be reused
📱 Mobile App Updates
Cutting Rope Lengths
The mobile cut-rope wizard now covers custom lengths and more of the label workflow in one pass.
Pick a unit (m/cm/ft/in) and set the length at cut time — one product now covers any cut length, not just a fixed-size SKU
Linking a pre-printed label now pairs its NFC tag in the same step
Resume an interrupted capture session from the Production tab — including on an individual line within a multi-product run
The Production tab is now partner-aware, showing whose order each run belongs to when you're capturing for a brand you supply
Manufacturer Mobile Functionality
The mobile app now has a dedicated experience for manufacturers, built around production rather than inspection.
A Production tab lists your serial runs by purchase order and batch — search by sales order, PO, batch or serial, and filter by print status, serial source, customer, product and date
Print labels from the app — after a cut-rope run, pick a printer and print all labels or just the first. Each run also has a menu to print, preview the label data or delete it, and you can print a single line from a multi-product run
Capturing serials starts with the product — search your SKUs, confirm the run details, then capture. Open and settled runs are clearly marked
A simpler Home and Inventory for manufacturers — equipment owner features like safety status, folders and labels are hidden, and new manufacturer accounts skip the equipment owner onboarding
💻 Production App Updates (Desktop)
Scannable Tower is now the Scannable Production App (1.7.0)
Our desktop production app has a new name, a rebuilt job picker and a more reliable reader. After updating, each machine needs to sign in once — the update clears the app's stored data. See the setup guide for details.
Sign in with your Scannable account, or paste an API key as before
Job picker grouped by purchase order, with brand, product images and capture progress — plus an organisation sidebar and search, with the newest jobs first
Close runs from the list, and show or reopen runs closed in the last 7–180 days, without going to the web app
Runs close automatically when the last ordered unit is captured, with a Reopen and keep scanning button if you need more
On multi-SKU orders, scans go to the SKU the operator selected
The FM25 reader reconfigures itself on connect to stop idle ghost scans, stray reader data is rejected, and serials left unpaired for 30+ seconds are discarded
Every screen is translated into English, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional)
API Updates
Send Product Specifications Through the API
You can now send product specifications — weight, breaking strength, diameter, length, material, certificate number — straight from your PIM or product system through the Scannable API, instead of emailing us a spreadsheet.
Set specifications when you create or update a product or SKU. Product values act as the default for its SKUs, and a SKU's own value is never overwritten
Updates merge, so you only send what's changed — a nightly sync works out of the box
Upload a whole catalogue in one call. Anything that needs attention comes back tied to the exact item
Invalid fields or units are rejected when you send them, and the error lists which fields are valid for that category
Real-world values like ranges ("10-14kN") are accepted with a warning, so you can load your catalogue while you tidy the data

💻 Web App Updates (app.scannable.io)
Smart PPE Analytics Dashboard
Get insights into your Smart PPE™ after it leaves the factory with the new Smart PPE Analytics Dashboard.
We've added a Production report showing serialised items produced over time, with an all-time total and switchable monthly (3/6/12/24-month) or weekly (8/12/26/52-week) views
We've added an Engagement report with six stat tiles — Total scanned, NFC scans, QR scans, Data Matrix scans, SKU count and Claim rate — plus a multi-series trend chart you can filter by category, product and SKU
This replaces the previous Manufacturer Stats tile strip; your SKU count, production totals and claim rate are now part of the new dashboard.
Manufacturer Verified SKUs
You can now mark any SKU as 'Verified' once you've reviewed its data and are confident it's accurate. It's your call, independent of the SKU's Data Quality Score.
Verify a single SKU or multiple SKUs at once using the bulk action from the All SKUs list. You can verify both Smart PPE and non-Smart SKUs.
Equipment owners will see a 'Manufacturer verified' checkmark next to verified SKUs in their inventory list, item detail screen, and search results.
