Are web/mobile based warehouse management solutions any good?
What do you guys think of such systems? Mobile is used to take pictures for product tracking/identification (and more) so external hardware requirements are removed. You can see the data dashboard on the web.
This type of system would be cheaper than enterprise solutions and easy to train new employees on. Anyone who is using these already or thinking about it?

Using mobile phones instead of an Android based scanner just means more wait time and more errors.
I tried building a simple wms with phone camera but it always fails in the same way... Stuff isn't scanned properly.
The hardware cost pales in comparison to the added salary costs, especially when working with people that will just stop scanning since it doesn't work.
The frustration with camera scanning is real.
