Fast & Secure ID Scanning - Anywhere, Anytime
Scandit brings high-performance ID scanning into mobile and web-based apps, enabling any smart device with a camera to accurately, compliantly capture and parse identity data.
The enterprise-grade solution combines barcode scanning and optical character recognition (OCR) to enable scanning of passports, ID cards, visa certificates, and driver’s licenses.
Industry leading performance, with a 99.75% scan success rate for IDs with PDF417
All ID data is encrypted and processed on the device to maximise security and comply with data protection laws
Implementation and maintenance is easy with a fully maintained parser and a dedicated support team
Less Typing, More Reliable Data with ID Scanning Software
Smart ID scanning software speeds up processes for employees and customers, reduces human error, and creates a reliable audit trail.
Age Verification for Restricted Goods
It’s fast and simple to confirm the age of a buyer before purchase or delivery. Simply scan identity documents when handing over controlled goods, such as alcohol. All data is encrypted and processing happens on the device to provide a secure service for your customers.
Cross-Border Travel
Airline and cruise employees can scan passports on smart devices during check-in or at gates. Boarding is faster and more flexible, with shorter queues and a more personalized service. Human error is reduced and the software verifies document authenticity by reading the RFID chip on ePassports.
Proof of Delivery
Many deliveries now require signatures and ID checks to ensure the secure handover of goods and documents. ID scanning enabled apps speed up the process and provide a reliable audit trail for delivery services.
Customer & Employee App Onboarding
Onboarding new or seasonal workers, such as delivery drivers, accommodation hosts or taxi drivers, is easy. Scan identity documents and confirm relevant details, such as if they are a registered driver. Customers can also be easily onboarded for loyalty schemes with a simple ID scan directly from their own mobile device.
