ChallengeSolutionResultsOutlookContact

Customer

DYCOM AG, leading software provider for Swiss police forces

Need

Rapid, reliable scanning solution to capture identity and vehicle data

Solution

–– Challenge

Efficient Mobile Data Capture With Minimal Effort

Identity documents and vehicle license plates are regularly checked in police operations, as well as in border controls or mobile inspections – often using different apps or devices, and with substantial manual effort. Importantly, the rapid and reliable capture of identity and vehicle data is essential for police and public order officers, authorities, and law enforcement agencies.

Specifically, the solution had to meet the following requirements:

  • Fast and error-free capture of data from identity documents, 2D barcodes, and vehicle license plates
  • Compliance with international security standards and EU data protection regulations (GDPR) through local data processing
  • Seamless integration into an existing app solution with minimal adjustments and future extensibility
  • Offline functionality for operational readiness in the field without internet connection or bandwidth constraints

DYCOM AG, a leading software provider for Swiss police forces, was therefore searching for a more efficient solution to capture personal, identity document, and vehicle data. The goal was to offer Swiss police forces a powerful, secure, and intelligent application that was capable of handling as many different data and document formats as possible.

After a comprehensive evaluation of several solutions and providers, DYCOM decided to deploy kinegram.digital’s MOBILE SCAN SDK.

“Integrating the MOBILE SCAN SDK into our existing solution was hassle-free and completed in no time – copy, paste, run!“

Powerful and Secure – Intelligent Data Capture With the MOBILE SCAN SDK

After careful review, DYCOM placed their trust in kinegram.digital’s MOBILE SCAN SDK, as this solution offered decisive advantages:

  One-scan capture of all data

  Very easy integration into the existing app

  Outstanding performance as a reliable data capture solution

  Dependable support from kinegram.digital as an experienced partner

  kinegram.digital’s expertise in identity and document security

“The support from kinegram.digital is excellent – from their deep technical expertise and swift, service-minded responses to any inquiry to the friendly and approachable attitude of our contacts.“

Stefan Christen

CEO of DYCOM AG

The MOBILE SCAN SDK automatically, and within fractions of a second, recognizes identity documents, 2D barcodes, and vehicle license plates, and transfers the respective data directly to the main app. Supported data and document formats include:

  • MRZ data from identity documents

    The SDK reads and processes Machine Readable Zones (MRZ) of passports and ID cards with highest precision and according to international standards such as ICAO-9303, ISO 18013, ISO 22376:2023. Additionally, it also reads Swiss driver’s licenses.

  • Vehicle license plates

    European car, truck, and motorbike license plates as per EU Regulation (EC) No 2411/98, as well as Swiss and British license plates, are captured and processed in real time.

  • 2D Barcodes and VDS

    The SDK supports PDF417, Visible Digital Seals (VDS), QR Codes, DataMatrix, and other 2D barcodes, meeting international security standards (ISO 18013, ISO 22376:2023).

The MOBILE SCAN SDK complies with data privacy regulations and operates very securely. Captured and processed data is exclusively returned to the main app only, without being stored. In addition, the solution works fully offline, making it ideal for mobile use and security-critical applications.

Enhanced Efficiency, Accuracy, and Security in Policing

For Swiss police forces, the MOBILE SCAN SDK improves and simplifies the capture of various data, providing tangible benefits to the users in their daily tasks:

“The MOBILE SCAN SDK transforms the efficiency and security of identity data capture. We see strong potential for continuing and expanding its use, and confidently recommend kinegram.digital as a trusted partner.“

Stefan Christen

CEO of DYCOM AG

  • Professional data capture

    Rapid, automated scanning and displaying eliminates tedious manual data entry, allowing officers to concentrate on the person in front of them rather than on the data collection.

  • Accuracy and completeness

    Accuracy and completeness of the captured data. Mistaken or incomplete data entries are now a thing of the past.

  • Stable and secure performance

    The on-device functionality without server dependencies ensures reliable operation, enabling consistent performance across different operational environments and reliable data capture at any time.

  • Enhanced usability

    Enhanced usability through effortless integration. The solution integrates seamlessly with the existing main app, delivering a consistent, familiar user experience.

  • Data privacy compliance

    Captured and processed data is neither stored nor transmitted, but only returned to the main app. The solution adheres to strictest data protection standards, thus fostering security and trust.

DYCOM particularly benefited from their decision for the MOBILE SCAN SDK because of the seamless integration and immediate usability. The SDK could be implemented error-free and with minimal effort. Its market-oriented development and flexible architecture ensure easy accommodation of future requirements.
