## Overview

Scanbot SDK is a document management and mobile data capture solutions provider for enterprise mobile applications, with specific use cases in insurance including claims intake, policy document scanning, ID verification, and FNOL documentation. The company is headquartered in Bonn, Germany and operates across multiple global markets.

The company delivers on-device SDKs for document scanning, barcode scanning, and structured data extraction. These tools integrate into iOS, Android, and web applications with no server-side dependency -- all processing occurs locally on the device. Fixed annual pricing with no per-user or per-scan charges enables predictable deployment at scale. Integration requires under one hour according to published documentation.

The company serves 400-plus global enterprises across insurance, healthcare, logistics, and banking. Insurance customers include HUK-COBURG, AXA, SWICA, Generali, AOK, and Barmenia Versicherungen. In July 2025, Scanbot SDK was acquired by Apryse, a document intelligence platform backed by Thoma Bravo and Silversmith Capital Partners.
