This lets you do two primary functions.
Scan. And search.
Scan an entire shelf load of boxes in seconds, just by moving your phone over the QR codes on the boxes – and see every detail of what’s inside without opening the lid. Alternately use the app for searching. Sitting on your couch, wondering where you stored your 1976 yearbooks. Type in yearbook. 1976. Or just book. It will tell you the Box ID and the location you stored it in.
Inabox approached Viewport XR for disruptive technology concepts to help solidify their growth trajectory. Through a series of discovery sessions we unravelled our client’s pain points, and pitched the concept of using QR codes to allow their customers to catalogue their box contents, with searching and scanning right at their fingertips. We established four goals in our pitch.
Like all our apps and software, whether VR, AR, XR or something more traditional, ‘Organise by Inabox’ followed our custom pipeline – looking at software from a user-first perspective. Evolved from hundreds of successfully delivered projects, our internal development pipeline starts at the basics. What does a user need? What do they want? What are they going to do?
Once in Beta, we put all our software through stringent acceptance testing, and for ‘Organise by Inabox’ we also launched a custom and public-facing ticket system for customers to get technical support and guidance should they need it.
Built in Xamarin, designed in Adobe XD, the UI is highly customised for this individual app and the Inabox brand. Supported by a range of frameworks, we used ZXing for scanning the QR codes – a framework which utilises native camera, providing extremely rapid QR code recognition.
The app’s success in Australia has solidified the roadmap for phase two, which includes expanding to overseas markets and introducing multi-language support and integration with home assistant platforms such as Alexa and Google Home.
The ROI for our client was immediate – box sales since app launch are up by 7% since last financial year in Australia alone, with the analytics of the app usage versus box sales showing an 26% engagement rate. They’ve expanded into 3 additional global markets since app launch, made possible by positioning themselves as an industry leader with high value add to their existing portfolio. They’re also lining up for awards around the globe for their adaption of disruptive technology.
All made possible by Viewport XR.
