Feature Overview​

Scanning Products​

With this enriched product data and the provided SDK UI elements it is very simple to integrate a fully functional product scanner into your app.

Offline Synchronisation​

When entering a store with an app using the Snabble Mobile SDK, product data is downloaded into the app. This not only allows for a much faster scan result, but more importantly, it allows for scanning in areas of the store where no connection to the internet is available. After the purchase, product data is kept up-to-date via intelligent delta updates.

Cart​
