Case Study: Swiss Federal Railways achieves faster, cost-effective mobile track and trace with Scandit

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) - Customer Case Study

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) needed a more efficient and cost-effective way to track internal mail, packages, pallets, and customer luggage across its railway network. Its existing dedicated barcode scanners were often broken, hard to maintain, and forced employees to carry multiple devices, so SBB looked for a smartphone-based mobile track-and-trace solution from Scandit.

Scandit implemented Scandit Flow, a web-configurable barcode scanning and workflow platform with cloud services that integrated with SBB’s existing IT systems. The solution replaced dedicated scanners, was deployed in just eight weeks, and helped lower software costs by 40% over three years while supporting 6,000+ scans per day and 180,000+ scans per month; 4 out of 5 employees reported equal or better scanning performance, with improved productivity and satisfaction.
