BOSTON, MA — (Marketwired) — 04/10/13 — Skycore LLC, developers of , the commercial barcode scanning app and Web platform, has today announced adding Scan for Price tools enabling merchants to dynamically provide pricing, display relevant content and collect item-level feedback directly from in-store shoppers in real-time.
A core benefit of the technology is simplicity as the only content required is a database of IDs and associated text.
Merchants tag items with QR codes and provide shoppers with the codeREADr app installed on iPods or tablets. When a shopper scans an item, the app checks the associated database stored on codeREADr-s servers and displays the information specific to that item.
“Merchants selling designer or luxury goods sometimes choose not to put price tags on their goods. Store associates instead advise each shopper on a one-to-one basis. By empowering the shopper to view pricing and merchant-generated information on the codeREADr app, they can serve more customers with less staff and present the most relevant, up-to-date information,” said Rich Eicher, Skycore-s CEO.
“A pioneer offering this service is Bowerbird Home, an innovative Hong Kong based furniture, art and accessories showroom,” said Eicher. According to Damon Hambly, founder of , “One of the main values is for designers who have their own pricing. Clients really love the system as no one else is doing this in Hong Kong.”
“Since the merchant controls the content and shopping experience, it can help combat showrooming. Scan for Price is yet another application for codeREADr in the retail space, along with Passbook and mobile barcode validation, asset tracking, event management and inventory control,” added Eicher.
