How can I offer automation services to businesses using Python?
The next level up from that would be to hook up the business-specific frontend to a barcode scanner and at that point not only could both clients & business know what items are available, but also their current stock & availability.

Self hosted physical bookshelf database with ISBN scanning
I used the zebra crossing app ("barcode scanner") in mass scan mode to scan all my books. The app keeps a history of scanned items and you can export it as CSV. This of course is not very "nice" but a very fast way to scan all your books. There is also some JS implementation for isbn scanning which works ok. It is used by bookwyrm which is open-source (but not free software).

Problems scanning 1D / Code 128 barcodes with the web app
The component used for the camera barcode scanner is quagga2, feel free to improve it or even replace it with another one and provide a pull request if that maybe works better. Also already partly tracked in #737.

Question to add (custom) barcode to batteries
The camera barcode scanner component used is quagga2. Scanning highly depends on lighting, the angle and so on and is IMHO generally slow and error prone. I would only use a laser scanner which is 1000 % faster and works under any lighting condition. On my phone I personally simply use the dropdown / search way, since still faster than a single camera barcode scan...
