The Evolution of ID Verification Technology
Manual ID checks are becoming obsolete. This practice is fraught with problems, from human error to operational inefficiencies.
Modern businesses require modern ID verification, which is what portable ID verifiers offer establishments.
For over 25 years, we’ve led the charge in the ID scanning industry by developing innovative solutions that address businesses’ growing needs.
Our commitment to creating simple yet powerful tools has revolutionized how businesses approach identity verification.
Let’s look at the three key benefits of our handheld ID scanners.
Benefits of Handheld ID Scanners
1. Enhanced Security
A compact ID scanner offers more than just information reading. It validates it as it can:
Instantly verify age
Cross-reference data with watchlists
Create and collect digital visitor records
2. Regulatory Compliance
Businesses in the cannabis, banking, and hospitality industries, for example, are up against strict regulatory requirements.
A handheld ID scanner can help these businesses adhere by:
Accurately capturing required information
Maintaining detailed records for audit purposes
Applying consistent verification standards
Reducing human error in the compliance process
3. Versatile and Efficient
Portable ID verifiers are a great option for:
Event venues that need to quickly process and move large crowds
Retail locations that need to verify age without disrupting the customer experience
Handheld ID scanners can reduce the verification time from minutes to seconds.
