Developing SDK for Hardware Intergrated Barcode Scanner App
Software Development

Hardware that scans fast can still fail the moment it meets phones and tablets. Then leadership gets the fallout: slow rollouts, support noise, and teams stuck in workarounds.

Picture a logistics or events business relying on barcode scanners every day. Android on one site. iPhones on another. Different cables, wireless quirks, staff under pressure. Integration time starts to feel like dragging an old trolley over cobblestones. No in-house mobile team. No simple demo to show buyers how it works. That gap slows sales and eats confidence. Seen it before? Many leadership teams across the UK and Ireland have. The need wasn’t shiny features. It was reliability, clarity, and less friction for customers and partners.

Solving this meant stepping back and focusing on how people actually use the kit.

Galvia Digital worked with the hardware team to build one shared SDK for Android and iOS. USB, HDI, Bluetooth. All handled the same way. A demo app showed real workflows instead of slides. Clear docs helped developers get moving without chasing answers. Nothing flashy. Just fewer headaches and quicker starts. Not saying every build went perfectly, but this approach cut guesswork and saved time where it mattered.

Integration time dropped. Support calls eased off. Sales chats got shorter because buyers could see the scanner working on their own phones.

Stronger mobile support opened doors in new regions too. For leadership teams, that meant faster routes to market and less strain on internal staff. Sometimes progress looks boring on paper. In day-to-day work, it feels like breathing room.

Make it easy for users, not just engineers.

Build once where possible. Show real use early. Document, Document, Document. From our side at Galvia Digital, this project reinforced that steady, thoughtful delivery often beats clever shortcuts. At least, that’s how it felt watching teams get back to focusing on their customers instead of configs.
