Case Study: Junker achieves fast, precise recycling scans with Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK

Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK and Junker make recycling easier with barcode scanning-enabled smartphones

Junker is a Bologna-based startup that built an iOS and Android app to help Italian consumers recycle more easily by scanning product and packaging barcodes for disposal instructions. The company needed a scanning solution that was fast and accurate, since early testing with freeware tools produced false readings, slow performance, and poor results on blurred or distorted barcodes.

Using Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK, Junker implemented reliable barcode scanning that instantly reads a wide range of barcode images. The result was very positive user feedback on speed and precision, helping the app support around 78,000 users, 10,000 to 15,000 new users per year, and roughly 6,000 to 7,000 scans per day.
