Why Enterprise Teams Choose SoftScan
Built for iOS
SoftScan is engineered exclusively for iPhone and iPad to deliver exceptional scanning performance on the devices your workforce already uses.

Straight-Forward Pricing
Enterprise barcode scanning shouldn’t be complicated. SoftScan offers straight-forward pricing so you can deploy faster without the complexity of multiple licensing tiers and add-on capabilities.
Built for Real Frontline Workflows
SoftScan combines exceptional scanning performance with enterprise capabilities like ID capture, GS1 parsing, PDF417, OCR, MRZ capture, and on-device AI, giving teams everything they need to deploy reliable barcode scanning applications on iOS.
