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). 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. Use the app in conjunction with our 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, and OCR data), when they scanned (timestamps), where they scanned (GPS), how they scanned (capture type), and why they scanned (your configured workflow). Connect to 4,000+ apps to automate the flow of data to and from our servers. Connect to secure server in real-time with APIs and webhooks (Postback URL). Real-time and scheduled data transfer to third-party databases (e.g. Google Sheets, Excel, etc.). The app uses the device's 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 200 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.
