Catalog books and other items with SerialMagic and other software
SerialMagic allows you to interface with many other types of programs allowing you to easily catalog and track your stuff.
We are a relatively small bookstore in a French Canadian environment where we sell on site and we go to shows where we needed flexible barcode scanning to easily establish the prices when a crowd is hanging around. Also we wanted to accelerate the inventoring process. As our inventory system is based on Linux and PostgresSQL the scanner and the software should support this environment. For flexibilty we needed of course Bluetooth. We found the LaserMagic Bluetooth scanner which met these requirements. The price was right and the hardware and software work to full satisfaction.

I have a library of over 5000 books, most of which are upstairs. The LaserChamp scanner and SerialMagic have saved me from carrying the books downstairs then back upstairs after entering them into my Readerware program. SerialMagic installed with ease and worked to perfection. Many thanks from me and my back! - Willis McDonald
I purchased the LaserMagic II Bluetooth Professional with BlueSnap USB Windows bundle to use with Readerware software to catalog my books. I have more than a few. I had occasion to deal with your support and my question was answered very quickly. The system worked so well I purchased another license for another computer. I actually have fun scanning and cataloging books, CDs and videos! I have begun to think of ways that I might use the scanning to keep track of supplies at my office.
I love the combination of Readerware and my SerialIO LaserChamp with Bluetooth scanner.- Mike McHugh, DDS
I purchased my husband the LaserMagic Bluetooth Pro OS X as a Christmas gift. He is using it to catalog our personal library. We love it! Thanks! - Alexandria M.
I'm cataloging a 4000+ collection of books and AV materials for a local non-profit organization. The LaserChamp barcode scanner and SerialMagic software, along with Readerware software, are working wonderfully and saving me countless hours that would otherwise be spent in the tedious labor of inputting data. Since my experience with such software is limited, the courteous, efficient technical specialist at Serialio.com walked me through the setup. Fantastic customer service-they responded to my email query immediately and took my phone call right away! - P. Thigpen, Savannah, GA
I am using my Microvision Flic scanner via SerialMagic with the Mac version of ReaderWare for cataloging my books and it is working great. - Hendel Thistletop
I initially purchased "Delicious Library" application packaged with a ROV barcode scanner. I was disappointed with the software. I needed something to inventory my recording studio and production company. I'm now using the ROV scanner, "SerialMagic" and FileMaker Pro to create my own barcodes for equipment and media here at the studio along with a PTouch labeler for barcode printing. SerialMagic Professional seamlessly interfaces the ROV Bluetooth scanner to FileMaker on my MacBook Pro. -David Shaw, Radio Active Productions
We use the LaserChamp Bluetooth barcode scanner SerialMagic Pro for OS X and other software to keep track of technology equipment (laptops, LCD projectors, camcorders, ETC.) that we loan out for district use. I am also considering expanding this to include videotapes, which are checked out to our various schools on a daily basis. We are now free from cables between the barcode scanner ant the Mac OS X computer -Mark Mariola, Supervisor Instructional Technology, Garden Grove Unified School District
I use the LaserChamp and SerialMagic to keep a record of all my many books! I'm in the middle of a PhD and its handy to know that I can track something down when I need it. Its easy to use and I value having such a useful resource! - Scott Robertson

I purchased the LaserMagic II Tethered USB Professional OS X bundle to use with Readerware. My wife and I have a very large personal library that we needed to properly catalogue. Purchasing from your company was an exceptionally pleasant experience. All-in-all, you folks have been great and extremely easy to work with. Thank you very much.- Richard White
Since leaving my corporate job in September I'm now an Amazon home seller and use SerialMagic Professional running on my Blackberry 8850 with a LaserChamp II Bluetooth scanner. I'm a very happy user of the LaserChamp II Bluetooth scanner. It is reliable and was easy to install using SerialMagic Pro. The LaserChamp scanner itself seems durable and has a good overall scanning sensitivity (I've used various corded scanners since the stone age). I just contacted Serialio.com tech support dept to confirm I can in fact use the same scanner with a Windows Mobile PDA! I was delighted by the speed of the support response. I have recommended your product once and would do so again in the future. - Steve Thurston
I've never had such rapid customer support response from any vendor!!!
I am now able [to use SerialMagic] to send data from my scanner directly into DataViz's Sheets, Go spreadsheet, and MobileDB database. This is great!! -Bob Stewart
I'm a voracious reader and have a sizable home library. A few years ago I ran across a program called ReaderWare. I bought a copy and at the time I purchased it, it included a CueCat barcode scanner. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of being tethered to a laptop all the time. So I found a link on the ReaderWare site to Serialio.com, recommending your LaserMagic scanner bundles. I've been extremely pleased with the LaserMagic bundle I purchased, and intend on using it more with the CD and DVD modules of ReaderWare. - Peter Benson
I use the LaserChamp and SerialMagic with Readerware. I've been having lots of fun cataloging all my books! Thanks for the great product. - Jane Panzer

I have used Serialio and the LaserChamp Bluetooth wireless barcode scanner for a couple of years and really enjoy using them for a couple of reasons: It saves me a lot of time scanning in my book library, iTunes music pieces, CD/DVD disks, movies etc. My wife and myself have more than 5,000 pieces of information which needed to be scanned into our Delicious Library and Serialio with the Laser Champ made that all possible. If I have a problem, I've always been able to reach Serialio.com support. Support has always efficiently and kindly answered all of my questions, and has helped me setting up the system if I have forgotten to do something. Serialio and LaserChamp are well worth the money because it will save you lots of time and keeps our libraries organized. Thanks, Serialio.com for all of your great assistance in the past and inventing such a wonderful, time saving device. - Tom Cotton President of County Fair Realty, Inc.
I am an Online Bookseller and I use the LaserChamp and SerialMagic to scan books in my warehouse. I find it terrific - it saves time, lifting, etc! I have recommended the LaserMagic bundle to other people who have purchased same! - Alan Warnock
I use the LaserChamp and SerialMagic to track all my books, CD's and movies. The LaserMagic bundle has saved me from accidentally buying items twice. I love it - wish I had more time to get all my stuff loaded. You have a great product and great customer support,keep up the great work! I will be sure to tell all my friends about it too. - Tammy-Jean
I purchased the LaserChamp and SerialMagic to use in conjunction with Readerware in order to enter 3500 books into my library. It has worked well since it was setup. - Nancy B.
I learned about the LaserMagic bundle through a friend of mine who highly recommended it. Since I could never get the CueCat, that came with Readerware, to work I purchased the LaserChamp. Initally I had some trouble pairing SerialMagic with the LaserChamp but after speaking with Dan, in tech support, I got it all worked out. The program is awesome. - Sophie Carmichael
I really love my Serialio LaserChamp Scanner and SerialMagic Professional Software; I use them with Readerware. This system is fantastic! I'm building a website for selling used books online. Before I purchased the scanner, I would locate used books and buy the ones I felt would be good sellers without really having any idea of its actual current value. Now with my LaserChamp scanner, I can scan book barcodes into my Readerware software to learn the value of each book before I buy any books. I now can be very selective in the books I buy and only purchase the most valuable books. This really saves me a lot of time and MONEY! I no longer end up buying worthless books! Thanks! - Gerald Glover
I am using the LaserChamp Scanner and SerialMagic to scan books into Readerware. I use this system to keep track of books in my home library that I have read or not read, when they were published and other information that is of interest to me. Initially, I ran into some problems but with the help of your technical staff I was able get through it. Now, I have scanned over 800 books and am just maintaining Readerware with new books or the books that have changed in status. The system works very well! - Barbara Conover
I use the LaserChamp scanner and SerialMagic in combination with Readerware to scan books. I have about 60,000 - 75,000 books that I want to catalog. I wanted an affordable scanner that I could bring around with me that was not connected to a computer and so far the LaserChamp has worked very nicely!" - LaRae Roe
I have a rather sizable library, containing hundreds of books. A few days prior to ordering the LaserChamp and SerialMagic, I discovered a bit of software called Readerware, which looks up ISBNs on various Internet sites and catalogs personal libraries in a very detailed database. The ability of the LaserChamp to store up to 500 ISBNs and then import them into the Readerware program in a batch process is a particularly welcome feature. There's no need for me to carry the laptop, the cables, and the scanner with me from place to place as I collect the ISBNs. I've had the LaserChamp for a few weeks now, and I am very happy with it! - R. Hamilton
I purchased the LaserMagic Tethered USB bundle for Windows to use with the program suite from Readerware. I have a collection of approximately 1600 books, 400 CDs and 250 DVDs. Cataloguing can be tedious without a scanner! I like being able to go to the shelf, use the LaserChamp untethered and then just connect it to upload the barcode data. I have found it very easy to use. - Sheryl Houle
