B4J Question System for realizing hardware and software inventory

[amorosik]

I'd like to make a program to take an inventory of both hardware and software installed on machines within a local area network
I was thinking of a procedure created with B4J to be installed on each machine, which sends the information to one of the PCs on the LAN equipped with an information 'receiver'
How would you organize things?

Use B4A so you can scan barcodes.

Use jserver to gather the information and store on db.

Net and tidy.

The main objective is to perform an automatic scan of the hardware components making up the PC and of the installed software
How can scanning a barcode help me?

Belarc Advisor generates HTML that you can parse later.
