What is Scan?

Scan is creating disruptive apps that connect the real world with the digital universe in fun and innovative ways. Through QR code, NFC, and other technologies, Scan brings social media, lead generation, and mobile commerce to life through real world "like", "follow", and even "buy" buttons. Companies can easily use Scan's tools to create these custom experiences for their customers.

How can businesses benefit from Scan?

Scan offers a variety of services and features that enable small to enterprise-level businesses to benefit from mobile-optimized QR code experiences and other mobile transactions. These benefits include more of what your business values: likes on Facebook, followers on Twitter, check-ins on Foursquare, leads, and sales. Visit the example gallery for inspiration on how you and your business can benefit from Scan. Rather than telling you how you should use this technology, Scan focuses on enabling you to creatively take control of these tools in ways you could never have imagined.

How can Scan benefit individuals?

With the Scan mobile app, you can interact with your friends and favorite businesses like never before. With a quick scan, you can easily follow someone on Twitter, check in to your favorite cafe on Facebook, exchange contact information with a new connection, or purchase a product from a magazine ad or poster.
