Gina Trapani has a great piece in Fast Company that covers ShopSavvy titled, “Work Smart“. Here is a snippet:

Did you know that you could include barcode scanning in your app for free? We have released our barcode scanner SDK.

Our scanner library works really well on all flavors of iPhones (2G, 3G and 3GS). You guys are getting EARLY access to this new library (it isn’t even released on ShopSavvy yet). The SDK support 1D (UPC and EAN) as well as 2D (QR and Datamatrix) scanning.

If you previously requested it I emailed the link earlier today, for the rest of you feel free to download it right now. There is no cost, but you will need to execute our license agreement within 30 days.

• Barcode Scanner SDK (Free): http://bit.ly/scannersdk
• Barcode Scanner License: http://bit.ly/scannerlicense

If you have any questions please email support@biggu.com and include the following information: name of app, description of app, your name, email, phone and your issue. Support will be provided to all licensees (i.e. if you haven’t executed our license agreement please do so before requesting support).

We are really excited to see what you all come up with using our library – definitely keep us posted and let us know if we can help you be successful. There will be a second release of the library next week that includes some additional features (FYI – our license requires that you update within 30 days of a new release).
