Fast, Accurate ID Scanning in Your Mobile Apps
Scandit brings high-performance ID scanning software into mobile apps, enabling smart devices with a camera to capture data from different types of identity documents.
Typical uses include passport and boarding pass checks at airports, ID checks or age verification when making a purchase or onboarding to a new employee or consumer app.
The enterprise-grade solution combines barcode scanning, optical character recognition (OCR), and NFC technology, to enable scanning of Machine Readable Zones (MRZ), text, PDF417 codes, as well as biometric RFID chips.
Less Typing, Less Human Error With High-Performance ID Scanning Software
Enabling smart ID scanning software on mobile devices speeds up processes, eliminating manual data entry in workflows where employees or customers need to record personal information or capture ID document data.
With Scandit, businesses from industries such as retail, transport & logistics and air travel can scan identity documents and capture text and barcodes to complete crucial workflows.
Customer App Onboarding
Help customers register or onboard onto apps and loyalty programs in seconds by scanning ID cards on their smartphones.
Employee App Onboarding
Onboarding new, temporary or seasonal workers, such as delivery drivers, accommodation hosts or taxi drivers, is easy. Scan identity documents and confirm relevant details, such as whether the person is registered driver.
Passport Scanning
Airport employees can be mobile, scanning passports on smart devices at check-in or at gates, speeding up boarding, reducing waiting times and offering a more personalized service. Human error is reduced and the software verifies document authenticity by reading the RFID chip on ePassports.
Age Verification
It’s simple and fast to confirm the age of a buyer before purchase. Simply scan identity documents when selling controlled goods, such as alcohol. The record of the age verification can also be stored.
