What is codeREADr?

Barcode Reader and Real-Time Web Services

codeREADr™ is a mobile, 2D barcode scanning service designed primarily for developers and integrators of enterprise and third party applications and services. This app enables mobile devices to quickly & securely scan, track, record and verify barcodes in real-time anywhere 3G or Wi-Fi service is available. Scan tickets, badges, employees IDs, assets, membership cards and anything else that can be tracked with a unique ID. Available for iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

App scans mobile coupons with iPod Touch 4G camera

Skycore LLC, Boston, Mass., announced the compatibility of its codeREADr app with the new iPod touch 4G for scanning QR and Data Matrix 2D barcodes at the point of sale (POS). The app enables retailers to scan, validate and track custom coupon and reward programs, whether presented on print or mobile media.

According to the company, marketers are increasingly using the mobile channel for coupon and loyalty initiatives, sending barcodes to consumers via messaging, apps or the mobile web. These barcodes are then saved to the phone and presented at the POS.

Unfortunately mobile barcodes cannot be read by the laser scanners typically found at retail. Instead, a capital investment in imaging scanners is required. The codeREADr app offers an alternative by enabling the scanning of both paper and mobile screens.

codeREADr features secure, real-time validation and integrated web services. The app scans barcodes, reads the embedded data, transmits data to codeREADr servers and receives back validation results in real-time, all without opening a browser. Retailers simply hold the iPod’s camera over the customer’s barcode to initiate the scan.
