Jisp enhances loyalty program, cuts costs with Scanbot SDK

Technology company Jisp has invested in new barcode scanning software to optimise its loyalty program and boost its international expansion.

The goal of this investment? Making shopping easier for consumers and retailers alike, while also saving money.

Customers have already completed more than five million scans as part of the Scan & Save program, unlocking discounts and rewards. For these exclusive offers, the company partners with renowned brands like Budweiser, Cadbury and Asahi. Yet for Scan & Save to enhance the shopping experience, rather than disrupt it, scanning has to be seamless. This makes an intuitive and reliable barcode reader an absolute necessity for Jisp.

The company’s previous scanning solution was priced per device, hampering its ability to scale. To accommodate its high-volume usage, Jisp sought a vendor with a flat pricing model. Moreover, it needed a solution that quickly and accurately reads a variety of retail barcode types. This is exactly what Jisp found in Scanbot’s Barcode Scanner SDK.

By choosing a provider with flat-fee pricing, Jisp can now confidently scale its loyalty solutions without being hobbled by device charges. The upgraded barcode scanner also proved more accurate and reliable, which has led to substantial time savings and zero support requests coming in.

Roll-out was fast, too. Jisp successfully implemented and tested the Scanbot SDK within a month, thanks to the dedicated support team.

“As we move Jisp into the next stage of its evolution with a focus on sustainable, scalable growth through our five business units, the ability to expand user reach efficiently and cost-effectively was essential,” added Alex Rimmer, director of marketing and communications at Jisp.

“ScanBot has enabled us to take that next step on our journey through fantastic support and an outstanding product.”
