Abstract
A system for exchanging data between applications is disclosed. In an example embodiment, a printer communicatively coupled with a first application prints a plurality of codes, which are affixed to a plurality of loads. A second application later scans codes affixed to loads. Based on the scanned codes, the second application generates an aggregate code that encodes identifiers of the loads. The second application displays the aggregate code on a screen, and the first application may scan the displayed aggregate code. The first application may compare identifiers encoded by the aggregate code with a list of identifiers to determine whether the second application ingested all expected identifiers.
