Case Study: METRO achieves efficient, reliable inventory management and enhanced customer engagement with Anyline

Making Inventory Management and Enhanced Customer Engagement Easy with METRO

METRO, a wholesale retailer operating twelve stores in Austria with roughly 48,000 stocked items and thousands of products scanned daily, faced challenges with inconsistent barcode formats and data capture errors that slowed inventory and checkout processes. METRO engaged an external integrator to build a mobile scanning solution and brought in Anyline to supply the missing SDK and reliable barcode-scanning technology.

Anyline’s mobile barcode scanning SDK was integrated into METRO’s inventory management system and the customer-facing METRO app, enabling fast, trustworthy scanning of incoming and outgoing goods, offline product lookup, and simpler customer product searches. The Anyline solution streamlined tedious processes, reduced data-acquisition errors, and improved operational efficiency and customer engagement across METRO’s stores while supporting large-scale, daily scanning of thousands of items.
