How Scanning Works
Your Card Butler scanning machine communicates with your dashboard over the internet (via MQTT/AWS IoT), so scans appear in your account in near real time — there's no cable to plug in or file to import.
Starting & Reviewing a Scan
This page walks through the full scan lifecycle: starting a session, reviewing and approving what the machine found, and filing the results into your boxes. Open Inventorize → Scans (/scans) as your home base for all of this — it also has Machines and Plans tabs alongside it.
Machines
Inventorize → Machines (/machines) lists every scanning machine linked to your account and lets you monitor, rename, or unlink them. For first-time hardware setup and pairing your machine to your account, see Account Setup.
