Barcode scanner app

So this isn't necessarily a code question, its more of a 'can it be done' question. I was wondering if there was a way to make an IOS app that could scan items in a store and read their barcode. It would then read what the item is and put it into a list. I've done some research on barcodes but I'm not sure if I can get that kind of information from them.

Scanning Barcodes of items shouldn't be a problem. There are several good libraries you can use for iOS and Android e.g.:

Otherwise the Question for Barcode Scanners was already asked here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5659380/free-barcode-scanner-sdk-for-ios-iphone

//edit after some clarification:

If your client has a database that shouldn't be a problem. The scenario is: All products have a barcode printed on them. The barcode represents an ID that your device will get when you scan it. After you scan it you can look up the product in their database with the help of the ID and show the product within the app. The only thing you need is being able to connect to their database (which shouldn't be a problem since they already use scanners).
