“As demand for cloud-based barcode scanning technology and related mobile solutions continues to skyrocket, we are seeing tremendous success in the United States and across North America, where enterprises understand the value and power of end-to-end data capture solutions,” said Samuel Mueller, CEO of Scandit. “Our record growth and the addition of some of America’s most recognized brands as customers underscores the need in the marketplace for innovative alternatives to the barcode status quo. Our commitment to delivering industry-leading solutions and the addition of Justin Corbell to our team as U.S. director of sales will enable us to push even further into the American enterprise.”
Revolutionizing Enterprise Barcode Scanning and Data Capture
Since 2009, Scandit has been bringing its enterprise-grade mobile scanning technology to global businesses touching every part of the supply chain, including retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and more. Building on its patented barcode scanning technology, Scandit is redefining enterprise mobility and data capture for enterprises through customizable mobile apps, development tools and cloud services designed to drive efficiency and growth for its clients.
“It used to be that working with barcodes meant buying clunky, handheld laser based scanners. These dedicated devices, like any other, require maintenance, will suffer downtime, and are expensive. Scandit’s value proposition is to do away with that. Scandit offers scanning software that helps companies replace bulky scanners by turning ordinary smartphones into enterprise grade scanners. It also provides set of mobile apps, such a mobile clienteling, that helps a company get started if it doesn’t have an app,” said Maribel Lopez, Principal & Founder of Lopez Research.
