Scanbot SDK (legal name doo GmbH) is a software development company founded in 2011 in Bonn, Germany. Its main product, a software development kit of the same name, allows for integration of scanning and data extraction functionalities into existing mobile applications.[1][2]

The Scanbot SDK comprises three modules: A barcode scanner, a document scanner, and a data extraction tool, all of which utilize machine learning algorithms. Each of these modules can be integrated into mobile or web apps individually or in combination.[3]

History

In the early years of the company, its focus lay on developing the document management software “doo”.[2]

In 2014, after pivoting from document management to image scanning, it released the document scanner app Scanbot for iOS and Android devices.[4]

In 2020, the app was sold to focus on the B2B solution Scanbot SDK.[5][6][7]
