Case Study: Yuka achieves fast, reliable barcode scanning for healthy shopping with Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK

Yuka - Customer Case Study

Yuka, a Paris-based startup with a mobile app for scanning food and cosmetics, needed a high-performance barcode scanner for its healthy lifestyle application. Their initial tests with native iOS, Google Firebase, and open source scanning solutions did not provide the speed and reliability required, especially under difficult conditions like poor lighting or with damaged barcodes. They turned to Scandit for its Barcode Scanner SDK to meet this challenge.

By implementing the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK, Yuka gained a robust and easy-to-integrate scanning solution that performed exceptionally well. The results were significant, enabling the app to handle a massive volume of two million product scans per day, with peak rates of 40-50 scans per second. This Scandit-powered functionality contributed directly to the app's success, providing a "wow effect" for users and supporting Yuka's growth to over 7 million downloads and 3.5 million active monthly users.
