How it works

From the line to the dashboard, in real time

ID Scan has two parts: an Android app for whoever runs the door and a web dashboard for whoever runs the business. This is what a night with the system looks like.

  1. 1

    A guest arrives at the door

    The doorman opens the ID Scan app on an Android phone — no dedicated readers or special hardware required.

  2. 2

    The document is scanned

    The Costa Rican cédula by its encrypted barcode, passports and DIMEX by the MRZ zone, North American licenses by their AAMVA code. Damaged documents can be read via camera OCR or typed in.

  3. 3

    The system validates instantly

    ID Scan confirms the age, extracts the document data and checks the person against the venue’s lists: ban, warning or VIP. The doorman sees a traffic-light result: green, yellow or red.

  4. 4

    The visit is recorded

    The entry adds to the live occupancy and to the customer’s history: how many times they’ve come, when and to which venue. Staff notes stay attached to the profile.

  5. 5

    Management sees everything on the dashboard

    Live occupancy, today’s visits, demographics and alerts — from any browser, at the office or on a phone.

Real operations

Designed for real nights

Unstable internet, several entrances, rotating staff. ID Scan is built for operations as they actually are.

Offline mode

If the internet drops, the app keeps scanning and validating against local data. When the connection returns, everything syncs automatically.

Multiple doormen at once

Each entrance can run its own device. They all feed the same occupancy count and the same lists.

Each role sees its own

Doormen scan and register; management handles lists, reports and users. Permissions are controlled by role.

The dashboard

The other half of the story

While the app works the door, the dashboard builds the business intelligence: occupancy, visits, demographics, lists and per-event reports.

  • Live occupancy for every venue in the organization
  • Ban, warning and VIP list management
  • Demographic and geographic-origin reports
  • CSV export of visits for external analysis
