Lynden increased driver productivity in one week
Goal
Lynden sought an SDK that could scan both the 2D barcodes on their trucks and freight documents.
Challenge
The SDK needed to be fully compatible with the Ionic and Cordova frameworks so it could be integrated into Lynden's driver app.
Solution
The Scanbot Document Scanner SDK includes barcode scanning functionalities as well as an intuitive document scanner. It also supports a wide range of platforms and frameworks, including Ionic and Cordova.
Key Results
Real-time access
to tasks by scanning the truck barcode
Instant document delivery
on the go instead of physically delivering documents
Immediate billing
thanks to digital document transmission, eliminating delays
Before integrating the Scanbot SDK, Lynden’s drivers had to physically submit all necessary freight documents at the end of their shift. With a scanning feature in the driver app, they could upload these immediately after completing a pickup or delivery task.
Due to this, Lynden started looking for an SDK that could scan both the 2D barcodes on their trucks and freight documents. It also needed to be fully compatible with the Ionic and Cordova frameworks. The team evaluated various options to determine the most suitable solution for their driver app.
In the end, Lynden decided on the Scanbot Document Scanner SDK. It includes fast and reliable barcode scanning functionalities as well as an intuitive document scanner that enables anyone to capture and upload high-quality scans. It also supports a wide range of platforms and frameworks, including Ionic and Cordova. The Lynden team finished integrating the SDK into their app in just one week.
Lynden has developed an Android application that permits its drivers to scan truck barcodes. This helps them to load their daily tasks efficiently. They can also upload crucial documents and freight images which are required to complete each task. This innovative solution has streamlined their activities, making them more efficient and productive.
Lynden's document scanning workflow before and after implementing the Scanbot SDK
The process before the Scanbot SDK
Drivers receive multiple tasks during their shifts, completing them one after another.
They need to collect all paperwork related to each task.
At the end of their shifts, they submit all documents to the office staff at once.
The office staff scans all documents and uploads them to the company system.
The billing process begins when all documents are uploaded.
The process with the Scanbot SDK
Drivers receive multiple tasks during their shifts, completing them one after another.
After completing each task, they scan and upload all related documents.
The billing process begins immediately after the documents have been uploaded.
The new process spares drivers an additional trip to the office and enables the billing team to start processing documents as they come in. This saves valuable time for everyone involved, and improves overall productivity.
Scanbot SDK’s vision and mission statement
Our initial goal for the Scanbot SDK was for it to read all kinds of data via mobile devices – today, this has become a reality. The easy-to-integrate Barcode Scanning, Document Scanning, and Data Capture software creates virtually endless possibilities to streamline and facilitate processes for companies, employees, and customers alike, whether in retail, logistics, manufacturing, or healthcare.
We now build computer vision algorithms and machine learning models that understand all kinds of different data 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 SDK’s or any other server.
