Scandit Express 4.0: The Fastest Way to Capture Value, Not Just Data

What’s the very easiest way to ship smart data capture features that deliver real business outcomes? Many of our customers point to Scandit Express.

Switching to Scandit Express-powered scanning has ultimately helped achieve a 50% reduction in the time it takes a Stratix logistics worker to process deliveries and shipments compared to old processes.

A premium US grocer saved 8,000 hours of labor time using Scandit Express. Enterprise mobility specialist Stratix helped workers process shipments 50% faster and gained a 30-40% total cost advantage over traditional scanning solutions.

Sometimes you want deep integration and full customization. Sometimes you … don’t.

That’s where the Scandit Express app comes in.

Got applications that are hard to modify? Limited (or non-existent) engineering resources? Or a need to get to market fast?

Our turnkey smart data capture app allows you to harness the power of the Scandit AI Engine with minimal time and investment. And with the major upgrade we’re announcing today, Scandit Express 4.0 is now more powerful and customizable than ever.

Scandit Express can now scan text and IDs as well as barcodes. There’s new built-in workflows that make your data instantly actionable. And we’ve made it even easier to deploy—designed to flex around your systems, not the other way around.

Beyond barcodes. Scandit Express 4.0 now also captures text and IDs

Advanced barcode scanning is only one part of Scandit’s smart data capture tech stack. With the 4.0 release, Scandit Express moves beyond just barcode scanning to become a multi-modal data capture app.

Previously, customers wanting to use Scandit’s ID scanning or ID Validate (fake ID detection) software had to integrate our SDK. Now, they’re available by simply downloading an app.

Scandit Express includes all of the identity document coverage, speed, accuracy, and security you’re used to from Scandit:

• Scan IDs in 1 second.
• Extract data from over 2,500 identity documents, including passports, driver’s licenses, and ID cards.
• Authenticate IDs with 99.9% accuracy.
• All data processing happens on device.

We’ve also added Smart Label Capture to Scandit Express. This enables simultaneous text and barcode capture for labels, product packaging, and vehicle identification number (VIN) stickers.

Take consumer electronics packaging, which can have four or more barcodes encoding different data: model numbers, serials, ICCIDs, UPCs, and IMEIs. Store associates no longer waste time identifying and scanning the right code. Using the new Scan Labels mode, they can tap just once. Scandit Express automatically analyzes all text and barcodes to extract only the data they need.

Skip the build: Ready-to-use workflows in Scandit Express 4.0

Data only matters when it drives action. Scandit Express 4.0 includes new, ready-to-use workflows designed to accomplish specific tasks, alongside the inventory counting and item finding modes already available.

• Markdown and clearance: Mark down items close to expiry with augmented reality (AR).
• Product recalls: Capture and interpret expiry dates and batch numbers for compliant handling.
• Expired medication detection: Verify drug expiration when stocktaking.
• Age check: Verify age and ID authenticity.

These workflows cut out manual steps and reduce errors. You can deliver measurable time savings and compliance wins—without adding extra load to your development team, or slowing your product roadmap.

Easier connections from Scandit Express to your existing tools

We know enterprise IT systems aren’t always straightforward. That’s why Scandit Express 4.0 introduces new ways to move data quickly, reliably, and in the format that matches your system.

Alongside scanning into text fields, direct app input, and CSV export, we’ve added:

• Customizable data transfer via CSV or Google Sheets: Eliminate manual reformatting. Configure data formats to match your system’s structure, cutting friction and accelerating operations.
• Safari extension: Go from browser to scan in one tap by adding a quick-access scan button to any Safari text field.
• Device pairing: Transfer data directly from a mobile smart device into an application running on a laptop or tablet (e.g. an inventory or warehouse management application), using Bluetooth or online pairing. No wires, no pen-and-paper, no connectivity issues.

The result? Reduced friction in your data flows, reduced errors, and fewer integration surprises mid-project.
