Dudegio,
Many (maybe most) commercially available barcode readers come ready to connect to a PC, with software, to do exactly what you describe.
No need to write complex code yourself, but you may need to get an expert in to integrate the device with other application software (Sage or SAP or whatever).
Check oput the product descriptions
here for example.
