Family-Owned Scanner Repair — Real People Who Actually Care
We're not a call center. We're not a faceless corporation. We're a family business that has been repairing scanners since 2014. When you call, you talk to us. When you have a problem, we solve it.
Started in 2014. Still Family-Owned.
Red Barcode Planet was founded in Wheeling, IL in 2014 with a simple idea: warehouse businesses deserve fast, honest, transparent scanner repair. Not 5–7 day waits. Not surprise charges. Not corporate runaround. Just fast repairs done right, with a warranty you can trust.
A decade later, that's still exactly what we do.
What Family-Owned Means When You Call Us
No IVR Menus
We answer the phone ourselves. No "Press 1 for sales, Press 2 for service."
No Upselling
We recommend what your operation actually needs — not the most expensive option on the shelf.
Honest Assessments
If repair doesn't make sense, we'll tell you straight. Your money matters to us.
Long-Term Relationship
We remember your fleet. We track your repair history. We know your operation.

What We Actually Believe
Transparency First
We publish our pricing. We explain our diagnoses. We tell you when repair doesn't make sense.
Speed Matters
Your warehouse runs on scanners. Every hour of downtime costs money. That's why we guarantee 48 hours.
Long-Term Relationships
We'd rather give you honest advice and earn a customer for 10 years than make an extra $50 today.
