Question 93
What's the difference between ScanDoc and Innovatrics?
Innovatrics is an established identity verification and biometrics company with particular strength in facial recognition and biometric matching technology, alongside document reading capabilities including MRZ extraction, and publishes detailed technical content explaining MRZ structure, check-digit calculation, and related concepts as part of its broader identity-verification product suite.
ScanDoc's primary focus is document scanning and data extraction, MRZ, visual zone OCR, and barcode reading, combined with cross-validation, as the foundational layer of an identity verification process, with straightforward SDK and API integration aimed at speed and ease of adoption for use cases across hospitality, banking, retail, and other industries.
Where the two vendors may differ most is in relative emphasis. Innovatrics has built significant expertise and reputation specifically around biometric technology (facial recognition, fingerprint matching in some of its broader product suite) as a core specialty, alongside its document-reading capabilities, while ScanDoc's core specialty centers more specifically on the document scanning and data extraction layer itself.
For a business deciding between the two, the relevant question is usually which layer of the identity verification stack matters most for your specific use case. If biometric matching depth and accuracy is the primary requirement, a vendor with particular biometric expertise deserves close evaluation.
If fast, accurate, well cross-validated document scanning and extraction is the core need, evaluating vendors that specialize more specifically in that layer, including ScanDoc, makes sense. Many businesses ultimately need both document scanning and biometric matching working together, which is part of why it's worth understanding whether a given vendor offers both natively or whether one or the other would need to be paired with a separate specialized provider.
ScanDoc can provide a direct demo and technical comparison for businesses evaluating both options, with specific attention to document scanning accuracy, speed, and cross-validation capabilities relevant to your particular use case and required document coverage.
