Management of goods is an essential part of many businesses. Goods can be identified by different means, but often labor intensive methods are avoided. For this reason barcode and radio identification methods have become popular. In this paper we study the usability of cellular phone camera for tracking goods and present a test application, which can be used for tracking goods. In our test application all the data about the goods is located in a central server which the cellular phone connects via data connection. Readability of barcode in different environments is also evaluated.
