Introduction
Stratix is an enterprise mobility specialist serving Fortune 500 brands, education organizations, and healthcare providers across the United States and Canada. Focused on logistics operations and managed mobility services, Stratix deployed Scandit Express to replace traditional laser scanners with iPhone-based smart data capture — achieving dramatic improvements in speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency.
Challenge
Stratix's logistics operations relied on traditional laser scanners that required pinpoint control to capture individual barcodes, with workers manually covering adjacent codes to avoid mis-scans. Scanning at angles, distances, and high speeds caused frequent errors — missing a single barcode meant restarting the entire process. Workers had to bend and stretch over pallets, risking injury and missed scans, while processing errors resulted in misplaced items and delayed shipments.
Solution
Stratix deployed Scandit Express, a no-code smart data capture app, on iPhone 13 Pro Max devices for logistics workers. The solution enables real-time multi-barcode scanning, automatically filters duplicate barcodes to capture only unique entries, recognizes worn and damaged barcodes, and integrates directly with spreadsheets and logistics management systems — all without custom development.
Why SCANDIT
Scandit Express was chosen as a no-code solution that could be deployed immediately without custom development. Its multi-barcode scanning capability allows workers to capture all barcodes on a pallet in a single sweep rather than one at a time, while automatic duplicate filtering ensures accuracy. The iPhone form factor reduces ergonomic strain compared to bulky laser scanners, and the 30-40% cost advantage over traditional solutions made the business case compelling.
"The Scandit Express scanning just worked so well with the iPhone. I was blown away by the speed and accuracy."
— Doug Anteau, Director of Logistics and Warehouse Operations, Stratix
Impact
Deploying Scandit Express cut Stratix's shipment processing time in half, while the iPhone-based approach delivered 30-40% cost savings over traditional scanning solutions across a three-year period. Employee onboarding became 20% faster thanks to the intuitive interface, and the elimination of ergonomic issues from laser scanner use improved worker satisfaction and reduced injury risk.
