Case Study: Avatar Nutrition achieves rapid, reliable food scanning with Scandit

App Users Lose Around 2M Ibs. With Help From Scandit

Avatar Nutrition, a US-based digital nutrition coaching service, wanted to help users track food intake more easily and reliably than with third-party food apps. When it launched its subscription service, it needed a fast, accurate scanning experience for the app and website that would work in everyday conditions, including low light, glare, awkward angles, and damaged barcodes. Scandit’s barcode solution was chosen to replace less flexible open-source scanning tools.

Scandit implemented high-performance barcode scanning across Avatar Nutrition’s mobile app and web application, enabling quick product logging from smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The result was a smoother user experience and strong business impact: more than 14,000 active users, around 70,000 scans per month, 21,000 registered devices, and nearly 2 million pounds lost by users.
