Scandit

Scandit is the smart data capture company, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Its vision-AI Smart Data Capture platform turns smartphones, handheld computers, wearables, drones and fixed cameras into high-performance scanners that read barcodes, text, IDs and objects with unmatched speed and accuracy. Scandit is delivered to developers as a first-party Data Capture SDK across iOS, Android, Web, React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor and .NET/MAUI, plus hosted products like ID Bolt for drop-in website ID scanning. Products include SparkScan, Barcode Capture, MatrixScan (AR/Count/Batch), Smart Label Capture and ID Capture. Authentication is a per-application license key, and recognition runs on-device at the edge. Customers include Walmart, Instacart, Levi Strauss & Co., Sephora, Lufthansa and FedEx.
