Challenge

Prior to barKoder, our team exhausted all available free online library resources. This is the first paid service we’ve explored for this client and product.

The Scratch-It lottery tickets featured a very specific and unique type of barcode. The available free libraries used in the past struggled to properly and quickly register this barcode type for scanning.

Solution

We integrated barKoder’s scanning capabilities with a B2C mobile app for players of Oregon State Lottery. The app is open to any players to use for scanning purchased Scratch-It and Jackpot Game lottery tickets to determine if their ticket is a winner.

We were impressed with and drawn to barKoder’s capabilities in handling potentially damaged and deformed barcodes, as players are scanning physical tickets that are prone to damage on top of the already-hard-to-scan barcode. Our product was best served with a device-based account plan versus scan volume other providers base their plans off of—the affordable and highly competitive pricing made barKoder an optimal partner.

Beyond what was noted above, additionally, barKoder’s quick and responsive real-time support with our developers while working with demo builds and client reviews went a long way with trusting this service for our client.

Result

We’ve experienced consistently successful scans with our unique barcode needs and a faster speed than we’ve ever had with previous libraries.

barKoder’s incredible technical support and demonstrated value in partnership with customers sets them above competitors.

Our favorite feature is the speed and consistency in scanning, getting us over a hurdle related to our specific barcode type.

Overall implementation was extremely smooth, and any small hiccups were addressed promptly, leading to an easy transition.

We appreciate your support in getting us setup and providing a big win for us and our client.
