## What is CodeREADr?

CodeREADr is an enterprise-grade barcode scanner and data capture app used by businesses and integrated by developers for capturing, validating and tracking data (AIDC). 

Use the app in conjunction with our paid web services to scan barcodes, read  NFC, and capture text (OCR). You can collect data with form fields, secondary scans, multiple choice answers, drop-down menus, photos, GPS locations, and signatures. You can record and validate the data embedded in each scanned barcode and know who scanned (app usernames), what they scanned (i.e. barcodes, RFID/NFC, OCR), when they scanned (timestamps), where they scanned (GPS), how they scanned (capture type), and why they scanned (your configured workflow).

To try the app, simply register within the app or at CodeREADr.com  to use our Free Plan (limited to 50 scans per month). 

Ideal for ticket validation, access control, inventory, asset tracking, logistics, attendance, security patrols, lead retrieval, coupon/voucher/loyalty programs, retail price audits, scan-to-order services, and more.

The app uses the devices built-in camera but you can optionally use rugged, dedicated scanning devices and accessories with standard keyboard emulation. 

Features: 
* Fast, accurate scanning of print and mobile barcodes using the device's own camera.
* Secure, real-time recording and validation of every scan. 
* Manage users, databases, services, and more with the integrated SaaS web service.  
* Scan offline for recording and validation with Auto-Sync in the background.
* Simply hover the camera over the target barcode to read it.
* Scan up to 50 commercial, industrial and medical barcode types. 
* SD PRO Scan Modes: Batch (captures up to 100 barcodes in a single camera view), Framing (select decoding window), Targeting (targets one code among many), Selecting (preview multiple codes and select), and Triggering (simulates pressing a button or trigger to scan a specific barcode).
* SD PRO Rule-Based Scanning: Create rules to scan only the barcode(s) you want to capture in the camera view.
* Auto-Next-Scan for continuous, repetitive scanning (no need to press any buttons).
* Kiosk Mode for unattended applications and to hide in-app settings.
* Developer API, Postback URL and Direct Scan to URL for using your own servers.
* Scan Mask technology (Pattern Matching) if no database is available.
* Import databases. Export barcodes.
* Custom question-answer scripts for form data.
* Conditional and custom validations of scanned and collected data.
* White Label version available to rebrand the app.
* Single Sign-On (SSO) SAML 2.0 supported.

### 5/5 — Amazing Product!

*2024-08-29*

We searched high and low for barcode scanning software and stumbled upon CodeREADr. It was super easy to utilize and worked exactly how we wanted to use it. The price point is extremely reasonable and flexible. We only have a few large events a year so we love how you can drop to a free plan when not using the software. Their customer service is amazing! It's a real person on chat that answers quickly and with detailed answers; Not generic, canned answers. Highly recommend!! Especially since you can test it out for free first.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Help

*2023-11-03*

This app is fantastic and so easy to use. I went into some stores to do some UPC research and took over 1,500 pictures of individual UPCs with my phone. I transferred them to my computer and then had to extract the UPC number from those pictures. This app did the trick and SO fast and accurate. I would love a feature that lets you enter in a category and subcategory so that all scans would receive those tags and then you could enter in a new category and subcategory for further scans. I had to manually do that after the scans but I had done enough prep work beforehand to make this a little easier. Also, if you could enter in which modular section the scans are in that would be nice too. Regardless, this app and website was so easy to use and retrieve the UPC data and I’m so glad I found it. Pricing was reasonable and while we don’t need the software anymore I will be filing this away to be purchased again when we do!

### 5/5 — Amazing Service!

*2023-10-06*

The customer service provided by CodeREADr is outstanding.  You can literally learn how to use their services with help all along the way!  I highly recommend this service!

### 5/5 — Excellent customer service

*2023-05-11*

I’ve been using this app for the past 10 years in the convention lead retrieval industry.
Customer service has always been easy to work with. Every app has a learning curve, and I was up and running in short time. The techs know their product backwards and forwards. They are personable, and their assistance is easy to understand. Definitely recommend this company for all barcode scanning needs.

### 5/5 — Used for an event in uk

*2022-07-21, version 2.16.2*

The App and support were exceptional , we were new to this technology and we were helped all the way at a great price

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool

*2022-03-17*

This is an excellent barcoding solution for verifying my inventory. I absolutely love the app. It was a little difficult for me to get my post URL set up but after I got that figured out everything works seamlessly. Thanks for making this tool available.

### 5/5 — Excellent application with outstanding developer support!!

*2021-02-01*

My company been using codeREADr on 4 devices in a 7 day a week mission critical production environment on a $110,000,000 federal contract since 2017.  I am not aware of a single issue of service downtime in that entire period.  The developer is highly responsive to both telephone and email communication.  He was extremely helpful when we initially set up the service in selecting compatible hardware and creating a custom regular expression to filter scanned data.  The web interface for accessing and manipulating stored data is very user friendly.  Very recently the developer again helped me solve a local hardware issue that had nothing to do with their software.  I can’t recommend this application and service highly enough!

Need add more languages

### 5/5 — Perfect solution

*2016-07-12*

This app worked FLAWLESSLY for a large (2,000+ attendee) conference. Multiple volunteers scanned attendee credentials for entry, data management, awards, and attendance tracking/security purposes. And the admin side via the website was exactly what we needed. We will definitely be using this system again at future conferences!

### 5/5 — President
