Introduction

As a company, we believe products bring real value and want to see India become a Product Nation. Not IT Services, not BPO powerhouse, but an export house of scalable technology products. We want the world to use off-the-shelf scalable software products made and handcrafted in India.

To make a Product Nation, the simple first step is a product. And we built one. Scanova is a QR Code Management tool that allows businesses to create, design, manage, and track QR Code-based interactions. Over 400 customers including Amazon, Cisco, Intel, 7Eleven, Aon Hewitt, Staples, and Zynga, from about 114 countries use Scanova daily to connect their customers from offline print media to online content.

Scanova combines image processing and web technology to allow marketers to design their QR Codes in a matter of seconds. On the front end, Scanova is based on AngularJs and HTML5. In addition, Scanova uses complex image processing and machine learning algorithms to ensure that its QR Codes always remain scannable, despite the presence of scanning applications of varying quality and smartphone devices with varying camera quality. And all this is done at an amazingly fast speed. Our backend is powered by Python based Django Web Framework with Apache and mod_wsgi on Amazon EC2 instances. We use MYSQL databases running on Amazon RDS servers.

Scanova was our first baby step. But we are not stopping here. We are in the process of building a suite of products that revolve around QR Code technology—QR Code Generation & Design APIs and SDK, QR Code Batch Generation, QR Code Ticketing, and QR Code-based Authentication. We are also in the planning stage of pushing these products in non-English speaking countries by making our website and apps multi-lingual. For Scanova and its team, there is a long road ahead.

To service the long road ahead, Scanova is looking to strengthen its development & product team i.e. hardcore problem-solvers.
