Socket Barcode Scanner - The Perfect Companion for LightSpeed iPad app

The portable handheld Socket Barcode Scanner is now compatible with LightSpeed for iPad, capable of scanning items directly into the iPad app for customer transaction, stocktake and performing inventory lookups.



All communications between the iPad and the Scanner are done wirelessly over bluetooth. Taking the Scanner off its dock powers it up immediately for your use, allowing you to practically manage your workflow. 

One additional feature is that it is IOS compatible.  One touch of the small secondary button allows you to toggle the iPad keyboard drawer on/off.

The Socket Barcode Scanner can handle a wide range of barcode types, be it the conventional one dimensional barcode or the newer two dimensional image-type barcodes. Also, with its omni-directional capabilities, it saves you time by allowing all barcodes to be scanned in any angle and position. 

With our aim of helping businesses become more successful and grow productively, we are pleased to say that SMB Consultants can provide installation and support for both LightSpeed for iPad and the Socket Barcode Scanner in Australia.  For any queries or demonstrations please contact us by email

LightSpeed for iPad - Next Generation Point of Sale in Australia

LightSpeed has introduced another game changer to the retail industry - a new Apple iPad app now available as an interactive Point-of-Sale.

With the growth experienced in retail today, there is a large need for a mobile POS system that allows for a higher quality customer experience. LightSpeed has addressed this need by introducing LightSpeed for iPad, retail's first interactive Point-of-Sale System. It combines the next-level personalised selling with inventory scanning, wireless payments and the powerful retail workflows that already exists within LightSpeed.




Next-Level Point of Sale System. Showcase Your Products to Your Customers.



With Show & Tell, your customers can see exactly what it is that they are purchasing through the use of  the iPad display. In this screen your sales team member can show expanded product details and up to five zoomed images, allowing them to communicate and interact seamlessly with your customers. When they are ready to pay, simply create an invoice with a single tap.



Inventory Scan. Information at Your Fingertips.



Access your inventory anywhere and anytime in your store. No longer will customers have to wait while team members collect simple information such as how many items you have in stock, how many of those items are on order and how many are reserved for other customers. 


Socket Barcode Scanner. The All-in-One Solution for Mobile Scanning.


Fully compatible with iOS, the Socket Barcode Scanner streamlines your workflow by allowing your products to be entered into the iPad. Anytime that a customer takes a product from the shelf you can finish the transaction on the spot. And with Show and Tell, customers can even see more of the product to broaden their purchasing experience. 



TYRO Terminal. Payment Processing Made Simple.



TYRO interacts wirelessly with your LightSpeed system and allows the total purchase amount to appear directly on the terminal itself. There are no cables needed, no drivers to install and no software to download. With a small configuration to the LightSpeed system, you can use TYRO to process all credit card and EFTPOS payments in Australia with Chip & PIN Authentication.
