ManifestBenchBY SMARTFACTFREE CARTON MANIFEST CHECKS
Turn a spreadsheet of IDs into a scan checklist on your phone. There is no app to install, no account and no upload: open the page, choose the CSV and start scanning.

Illustrative screen with fictional values. Observed IDs show what was scanned, not that goods were loaded.
For small manufacturers, supervisors and integrators who need a quick barcode checklist on a phone or tablet, without installing a scanning app or setting up a warehouse system.
A USEFUL STARTING POINT
A scan checklist is only as good as the list behind it. Spreadsheets drop leading zeroes, add stray spaces and repeat rows. ManifestBench shows the first rows of your file exactly as they are, with spaces made visible, refuses blank and duplicate IDs and keeps every value as text, so 0004501 and 4501 stay different IDs. What you scan has to match the list character for character.
FROM QUESTION TO EVIDENCE
Save the sheet as UTF-8 CSV with a header row, separated by commas, semicolons or tabs. Format the ID column as text first so that leading zeroes survive.
Choose the ID column and an optional description, check the first five rows as they really are and confirm that the IDs are distinct. Columns you do not choose are left out.
Scan with the camera, a keyboard scanner or by typing. Missing, unexpected and repeated scans are counted as you go, and the full results download as CSV or PDF.
A list of 120 carton IDs saved from a spreadsheet holds 4501 where the carton label says 0004501. The first scan of that label shows Unexpected ID, and 4501 stays on the missing list. Format the column as text, save the CSV again and load it in place of the first list: the same scan now shows Seen in this check.
USED IN PRODUCTION
ManifestBench checks one list of IDs at a point in time, on one device. Two SmartFACT services handle work that repeats every day: booking the courier from the work order once the goods are packed, and checking what goes into each kit before it is packed. Both are in early access, with scope agreed at onboarding.
Early accessWhen the checked cartons go out by courier, ParcelOffice books the shipment from the work order with two scans: the job, then an approved parcel preset. It sends the courier labels to the bench printer through PrintStation and returns the tracking details to your factory software. Approved plain English rules recommend or choose the parcel.
Early accessManifestBench confirms which carton IDs were seen, not what is inside each carton. When a carton holds a kit of parts, KitProof turns approved plain English component rules into each kit's expected parts and quantities, then checks every scan against that plan before the kit leaves the bench.
BEFORE YOU START
No. ManifestBench runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Open it, allow the camera when you choose to scan with it, and prepare it for offline use if the signal is poor where you scan.
Save it as CSV first. ManifestBench imports UTF-8 CSV up to 5 MiB and 10,000 distinct IDs, with comma, semicolon or tab separators. It does not read XLSX files.
Code 128, QR code, Data Matrix, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and UPC-E, compared with your list as the whole decoded value. A USB or Bluetooth scanner that types like a keyboard and sends Enter or Tab after each scan works too; ScannerBench shows exactly what your scanner sends.
ManifestBench checks distinct IDs against one imported list. It is not a despatch, shipping or stock system: there are no courier bookings, carrier manifests, SKU quantities, carton contents, stock levels or links to your order system, and a scanned pallet ID never marks the cartons on it as seen. A finished check records which listed IDs were observed; it does not prove that a vehicle was loaded or that goods were accepted. One person controls a check at a time, on one device. Imports are UTF-8 CSV with a header row, up to 5 MiB and 10,000 distinct IDs, with up to 10,000 observations per check. IDs are matched as exact text, so the list must hold exactly what each barcode contains. XLSX import, RFID and emailing results are not supported.
Your check stays in this browser. A new check is kept in memory until you choose Save on this device, so closing or refreshing the tab loses unsaved work. The manifest is read in the browser and nothing is uploaded: there is no account, email or upload step. The camera decodes labels on your device, and camera images are never stored or sent. Google Analytics is optional and loads only after you accept; it never receives IDs, file contents, file names or check results. Use Analytics settings to change your choice; see /privacy/.
