Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Scandit develops smart data capture software powered by vision AI that converts camera input from smart devices into structured, actionable data. Its core capabilities cover barcode scanning — marketed as handling low light, damaged codes, distance and glare, with differentiators such as augmented-reality guidance and intent detection — label scanning that captures all barcode and text data from a label simultaneously, and ID scanning and validation processed on-device for privacy. The company states it is ISO 27001 certified.

Alongside developer-facing scanning components, Scandit sells a store intelligence platform for retail that applies vision AI to in-store visual data. Advertised modules include shelf intelligence and execution (stock detection, out-of-stock alerts, automated replenishment triggers), age-verified self-checkout, planogram and price compliance, and intelligent in-store picking. Scandit Express is a turnkey application that adds barcode, text, or ID scanning to existing iOS and Android apps without custom development.

Business model

Scandit licenses scanning software and platform capabilities to enterprises, offering free trials (a 30-day free trial and demo apps) and published pricing paths, plus onboarding and dedicated customer success support from evaluation through ongoing operations.

Traction

Scandit reports more than 2,100 current customers, over 170 million active mobile devices, an NPS score of 98%, and barcode scanning proven at 80 billion scans per year. Published customer outcomes include a retailer citing 100% pricing compliance and a 45% hardware cost reduction; a postal operator handling 200 million parcels delivered annually and supporting 1.7 billion letter deliveries; and an airline group (Air France-KLM) reporting a 29% decrease in ineligible-to-board rate with 91% of users successfully completing document scans.
