Following are some use cases where barcode detection can be useful.
There could be many variations on these cases but these should be
helpful in understanding how Scan Station uses barcode detection.
Car dealership
A car dealership has 20 locations and a key part of its business
depends on processing car loan applications. The customer is usually
waiting in the lobby for the approval. A car loan application is done on a
standard paper form which contains a unique barcode. Supporting
documentation such as a copy of a driver's license, taxes, proof of
income or residence can also be provided.
Problem
The salesperson fills out the application with the customer and faxes it
to the corporate office. The salesperson calls the corporate office to be
sure it arrived and is being processed. The image quality of the fax is
frequently poor and rescans are common because settings are not pre-
set. Therefore, the salesperson spends their time trying to keep the
customer from leaving the dealership and calling the corporate office to
determine a decision on the loan.
Solution
Using a Scan Station a Car Loan job is configured to have the correct
scan settings and destination. The salesperson walks up to the Scan
Station with the loan application and supporting documentation, scans
the document(s) in the correct order and selects the preconfigured Car
Loan button. The job is setup to scan a region of interest on the image
for a barcode. The barcode is scanned and the value is used to
uniquely name the file (Car Loan Number).
The output filename is formatted such as:
Dealership1-Salesperson1-CarLoanNumber.pdf
The destination is an email address at Corporate Finance.
The salesperson sees the job is scanned and has completed
successfully. They turn their attention to the customer and a few
minutes later a text message from Corporate Finance arrives indicating
the loan application is being processed and should be completed within
30 minutes.
