Integration
Barcode Scanner SDK
Connect
We were using another library, but suddenly their cost went up a lot, and we had to stop using it. We tried other libraries, but they had a lot of errors, for example, multiple different readings of a single barcode, codes cut off in most of them. With barKoder, we got better performance overall.
Challenge
The project focuses on tracking package deliveries and needed a reliable scanning solution that couriers could use in the field.
Initially, the team relied on basic barcode scanners with GPS capabilities, but those devices offered limited functionality and flexibility. To create a more capable and accessible solution, they moved to smartphones that could be used by virtually any courier.
During development, the team tested several barcode scanning libraries. Some produced inconsistent or incorrect readings, including multiple results from a single barcode and difficulty reading partially visible or poorly printed codes. Other solutions provided better performance but were too expensive for the project’s requirements.
Solution
The team integrated barKoder into its mobile package tracking application as a more reliable and cost-effective alternative.
barKoder provided stable barcode decoding across a wide range of barcode types and print qualities while keeping licensing costs manageable. This allowed the company to replace dedicated scanning hardware with smartphones without sacrificing scanning quality.
The implementation was straightforward, with no significant technical issues encountered during integration.
Result
With barKoder, the team achieved more reliable barcode capture across its package delivery workflow.
Scanning performance improved by approximately 85%, with a significantly higher proportion of successful reads across different barcode types and varying print conditions.
Compared with previously tested libraries, barKoder reduced inconsistent readings and delivered stronger overall performance while maintaining a much lower cost. The result was a practical mobile scanning solution that combined high decoding quality with an affordable licensing model.
