Project Name
Extended a Smartphone-Only Inventory App to Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo Industrial Scanners With Native Android OEM SDK Integration
A global inventory counting platform operating across 20+ countries with 250K+ app downloads had built their solution exclusively for consumer smartphones. As they scaled into enterprise accounts, clients increasingly used Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo industrial scanners in warehouses and distribution centres, but the app could not run on a single piece of industrial hardware. Applying its AI-First approach, Ksolves built a native Android application with deep OEM SDK integration that extended the platform to any Android-based IoT scanner enterprise clients bring to the warehouse floor.
- Smartphone-Only App in an IoT-First World: Enterprise clients using Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo industrial hardware could not use the platform at all - creating a hard ceiling on enterprise account growth.
- Inconsistent Scanning in Warehouse Conditions: Camera-based scanning degraded in low-light, high-speed warehouse environments. Industrial IoT scanners were purpose-built for these conditions but completely unleveraged.
- No Offline Capability on Android IoT Devices: No offline mode existed - making the app unusable in warehouses and stockrooms where network coverage is unreliable.
- Complex Native Android SDK Requirements: Each OEM ships proprietary SDKs with unique hardware trigger behaviours and intent-based data delivery accessible only through native Android - not via cross-platform frameworks.
- No Enterprise Device Management Support: The existing app had no MDM compatibility or OEM-specific provisioning support, blocking enterprise IT teams from deploying it on managed device fleets.
- Real-Time Sync for Industrial Operations: Enterprise clients required scan data to reconcile with the central inventory system on reconnection with zero tolerance for data loss or duplication.
Ksolves built a native Android app integrating Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo OEM SDKs. Industrial IoT scanners require OS-level hardware API access available only through native Android - cross-platform frameworks cannot reach the hardware triggers that make these devices effective. The governing principle: every scanner on the floor must work on day one.
- Native Android App for IoT Device Support: Built entirely in native Android (Kotlin) - the only way to access hardware triggers, intent-based scan delivery, and OEM configuration APIs on Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo devices.
- IoT Hardware SDK Integration - Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo: OEM SDKs integrated into the native Android app, activating physical scan triggers, built-in laser and imager hardware, and proprietary data-wedge interfaces across all three device families.
- Offline-First Architecture: SQLite local storage writes every scan to the device instantly. Background sync reconciles to the cloud on reconnect - sustaining up to 8 hours of uninterrupted scanning without connectivity.
- Real-Time Cloud Sync With Conflict Resolution: Sync engine with conflict resolution reconciles scan data to the central inventory system on reconnection with zero data loss and zero duplication.
Technology Stack
| Category | Technology |
|---|---|
| Mobile Platform | Native Android (Kotlin) |
| Hardware SDK | Zebra / Honeywell / Urovo SDKs |
| Database | SQLite (local) + Cloud Sync |
| Integration | REST API + MQTT |
| DevSecOps | CI/CD Pipeline |
- 100% of Enrolled Android IoT Scanner Models Now Supported: Enterprise clients using Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo devices fully supported in one native Android app release. The device barrier blocking enterprise adoption eliminated.
- Per-Item Scan Time Estimated Down 60%: Hardware trigger scanning on IoT devices reduced per-item scan time by an estimated 60% and virtually eliminated rescan rates in pilot warehouses.
- 8-Hour Offline Scanning Without Connectivity: Offline-first SQLite architecture sustains up to 8 hours of uninterrupted scanning with automatic zero-data-loss reconciliation on reconnect.
- Enterprise MDM Deployment Supported: Native Android app supports enterprise MDM deployment and OEM-specific provisioning - IT-managed rollout across warehouse IoT fleets previously blocked entirely.
- Enterprise Warehouse Expansion Across 20+ Countries: Platform now supports distribution-centre-scale deployments across the full 20+ country footprint, unlocking enterprise accounts previously outside the addressable market.
“We needed an app that worked on the devices our warehouse teams actually use – not just smartphones. Ksolves delivered exactly that, and our enterprise clients can now count inventory on any device they bring to the floor.”
– Headac of Product / CTO.
A smartphone-only inventory platform completely incompatible with the Android-based IoT scanners enterprise warehouse clients depended on, capping enterprise growth, was transformed through Ksolves web and mobile development services. A native Android App integrating Zebra, Honeywell, and Urovo OEM SDKs makes every enrolled IoT scanner a first-class device on the platform. Hardware barrier eliminated. Scan time estimated down 60%. 8-hour offline sessions sustained. MDM deployment supported. Enterprise warehouse operations unlocked across 20+ countries.
