98% accurate Barcode Scanning integrated within one day
Goal
BarTrack wanted an accurate Barcode Scanning solution they could integrate into their iOS & Android applications to enable automated order management processes with real-time visibility and reduce errors caused by manual data entry.
Challenge
For this use case, BarTrack required an accurate and reliable Barcode Scanner SDK that works without friction, even without an internet connection, or under low light conditions. Another critical requirement of BarTrack was cover for a wide range of barcodes, such as the complex standard MSI Plessey and other symbologies typically used by suppliers.
Solution
With the Scanbot SDK, BarTrack integrated a cutting-edge scanning component into their mobile applications, combining a flawless user experience (UX) with reliable scanning results. Integration took only a single day, due to the detailed documentation, ready-to-use UI components, and comprehensive customer support.

Fast integration & highest accuracy – BarTrack faced the following challenges
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.
Very pleasant cooperation with the team. Very smooth communication via Slack and great to see that agreed-upon targets were actually met! It is really a joy to work with Scanbot SDK.

Scanbot SDK’s mission & vision
Our initial goal for the Scanbot SDK was for it to read any text-based information via mobile devices – today, this has become a reality. The easy-to-integrate software creates virtually endless possibilities to streamline and facilitate processes for companies, employees, and customers alike, whether in document management, onboarding, sales, or HR.
We now build computer vision algorithms and machine learning models that understand all kinds of different document types. Our efforts open up even more possibilities for automated workflows that connect and process data in real time.
At the same time, we want to protect users’ personal data, which is why we opted for on-device intelligence. Scan results are encrypted before transmission to keep them safe from any outside attacks. To guarantee maximum privacy, no data is ever sent to Scanbot’s or any other server.
