98% accurate Barcode Scanning integrated within one day

Dutch company BarTrack designed a mobile solution that connects businesses with currently around 20 industry-leading wholesalers. The vision: to digitize automated ordering processes and inventory management. As an independent provider, they created a digital channel for efficient digital ordering and inventory management processes.

One of the desired key functionalities of BarTrack’s mobile application was to bring physical products into the digital workflow through barcode scanning capabilities. Using these scanning components, users can scan the barcode on an item and directly order it from their chosen supplier – all on their smartphones. Currently, over 1.9 million products can be seamlessly ordered in this way.

Besides a smooth user experience, precision was a core factor for BarTrack when choosing the right SDK. When replacing error-prone, manual entry with digital alternatives, high-accuracy data capture is critical to actually save users time and money compared to conventional order processing and inventory management workflows. Thus, BarTrack needed their chosen Scanner SDK to create perfect results, even under bad lighting conditions, without a stable internet connection, or from difficult angles. To create a suitable order management system for a variety of wholesalers and businesses, cover for a large range of barcode standards was another critical requirement.

Additionally, BarTrack needed a scanning module suitable for hybrid development on iOS and Android via React Native, a multilingual user interface, and ready-to-use components.

BarTrack’s team sought an SDK provider with a proven track record. With 10 years of experience in scanning and data extraction, Scanbot provided them with the perfect solution for process automation. The Scanbot SDK’s fixed pricing model, ready-to-use UI components, and high-precision scanning of a wide range of covered barcode types, including MSI Plessey, met all of BarTrack’s requirements.

Scanbot’s next-generation Barcode Scanning v3 engine combines speed, accuracy, and flexibility. With a rate of 113 scans/minute, around 98% accuracy, and sophisticated features like multi-scanning and barcode filters, it is the ideal solution for Barcode Scanning use cases across industries.

Launching a new app project requires finding solutions quickly, keeping both integration time and upfront paperwork at the minimum. Scanbot’s simple licensing model, comprehensive customer support, and easily integrated RTU UI components were thus the perfect fit for BarTrack. And: They successfully added the module to their application within just one day

Digital orders became a single tap with BarTrack and the Scanbot SDK. Let’s take a look at what an ordering workflow looks like in the BarTrack app:

1. A user wants to restock an item.
2. They open the BarTrack application and scan the article’s barcode using the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK. User guidance leads them into the perfect scanning position, enabling automated scanning with precise results.
3. The corresponding item is displayed. Now, they select a quantity and their preferred wholesaler.
4. The order is forwarded to the wholesaler automatically.

This workflow takes just seconds. Customers expect to place orders and manage their inventory both easily and rapidly to altogether speed up their business processes. Together with Scanbot, BarTrack now offers an effortless restocking workflow based on mobile Barcode Scanning with an experienced accuracy of 100% for a seamless customer experience.
