Scandit, a leading company in smart data capture technology, released ID Bolt . Scan your ID (proof of identity) and auto-fill required information on websites in just one second. It is a pre-built ID scanning feature that can be integrated into any website and works on device, via desktop, and mobile. It ensures that ID information is not collected by a third-party server, reducing latency and ensuring faster scan performance.
ID Bolt can be used to streamline consumer activities such as booking travel and checking in online, entering relevant passport information, providing passport or driver’s license* information to a rental car company before renting a car, and even when making online purchases where customers are required to verify their age.
Currently, these tasks are often borne by the consumer. The aim is to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs, but if self-service processes are complex, not automated or not user-friendly enough, there is a risk of a poor customer experience. For businesses, manual data entry can cause significant issues, such as compliance risks, if information is entered incorrectly.
Easy to integrate, stress-free and safe design
ID Bolt is an out-of-the-box solution that requires just a few lines of code to integrate and delivers fast, accurate scanning. It can be quickly deployed into existing consumer workflows, minimizing development costs and saving your IT teams valuable time that would normally be spent on testing and design. Scandit’s ID scanning software processes common identification documents like passports and driver’s licenses in just 1 second with up to 100%* accuracy.
An intuitive user experience (UX) designed for occasional or first-time users, such as travelers, is crucial to reducing friction. Companies can increase end-user adoption by leveraging ScanDit’s rich experience in ID scanning workflows with a seamless UX. ID Bolt also introduces device handover, which allows users to temporarily enable their smartphone as an ID scanner, improving ergonomics and speed when using desktop devices for tasks like checking in for a flight or booking a rental car.
Businesses and their customers can also rest assured regarding data privacy. Scandit does not store or share any PII (Personally Identifiable Information). On-device processing also means ID Bolt can run without third parties having access to PII, improving user experience with faster responses during ID scans. Even if you use the device handover feature, communication between devices is end-to-end encrypted, so Scandit never has access to PII in transit.
