Sam’s Club App Chooses ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner
We announced this morning that the newly released Sam’s Club App incorporates ShopSavvy’s barcode scanner — another huge endorsement of ShopSavvy technology on the heels of our Consumer Reports announcement last month.
Here’s an excerpt from today’s press release:
Sam’s Club Selects ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner by Big in Japan to Power Mobile Application
Must-have app for Sam’s Club members uses built-in scanner to deliver product details, member reviews and more
DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2010 — Big in Japan, the leader in barcode-powered shopping by mobile consumers, announced that Sam’s Club®, a division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and serving more than 47 million members in the U.S., has released the Sam’s Club App for iPhone, Android and Blackberry, incorporating the ShopSavvy® ScannerKit SDK.
“We are delighted to work with Sam’s Club and to have our technology available to their members nationwide,” said Alexander Muse, co-founder of Big in Japan. “It’s a tremendous vote of confidence by Sam’s Club, and we are grateful for their trust”…
Like other apps utilizing the ShopSavvy ScannerKit SDK, the Sam’s Club App will incorporate AdOns®, the Big in Japan UPC/GPS mobile advertising framework. The framework uses the scanned product’s UPC code and phone’s GPS location data to serve highly targeted advertising at the point of highest purchase intent – namely, when the mobile consumer is standing in a retail store with a potential purchase in hand.
Interested companies and developers can access the ShopSavvy ScannerKit SDK at freebarcodescanner.com. The Sam’s Club app is available in the iTunes Store.
