Anyone have experience implementing an inventory system?

Question

Open to ideas. I can code functions into Google Sheets easily.I&rsquo;m thinking of using QR codes as barcodes. My main question is how can I have the scan of a code communicate with the spreadsheet? Ideally with no hardware other than a phone and no added apps.

This is exactly what http://OpenTHC.com/ does. I built it. QR is great and it scans faster than barcode and is more resilient to smudge (and sun damage).You can open scans with zxing links on a webpage but you'll likely want an app - cause the performance will be better.
