The retail industry has changed drastically since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic at the beginning of 2020. The businesses that have been the most affected by the pandemic are those that sell age-restricted products such as alcohol and marijuana. This is because the sale of such products is heavily regulated by the state and federal governments. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries had to confirm the age and check the driver’s license of every customer who walked through their doors and made a purchase. Sometimes, they also had to maintain records of the driver’s license information for compliance purposes. However, the pandemic – and the resultant lockdowns – made in-store purchases a rarity. Retailers of all types had to get used to delivering the products to their customers, who were confined to their homes and unable to visit the store in person. Retailers also had to ensure safety and hygiene during the delivery, which meant that too much contact between the buyer and the delivery person could not be allowed. As a result, the process of age verification became more difficult and error-prone than ever before. The delivery person could not touch the buyer’s ID card, as that would increase the risk of infection. So, the buyer typically held up their ID card for the delivery person to see. Because the ID card had to be verified at a distance, the risk of mistakes and verification errors increased drastically. It also became easier for minors to trick the system with a fake ID card, as forgeries are harder to spot at a distance. As a result, more and more liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are adopting portable ID scanning technology for home deliveries and curbside pickups.

Every sector has now realized the need of implementing or updating its ID scanning technology. You might think ID scanning has only one purpose – identity verification. But this is far from the truth. Every single industry uses ID scanners in its own way. For example, a bar uses ID scanners to verify their customers’ ages so that they don’t end up selling liquor to minors. A casino, on the other hand, uses RFID to track the chips their patrons play with. Hospitals use document scanning technology to quickly access patients’ medical records. It is needed when the patient is incapacitated due to a medical condition and has no close family members around who have a keen knowledge of their medical history. Concert security persons and event managers also use ID scanning technologies to ensure that no one who has been flagged with a prior misdemeanor can enter the premises. The list goes on. Officers, convenience stores, and even schools use ID scanning technologies now. But are all ID scanners the same? Can you choose one blindly? Of course not! This article will elaborate upon the three kinds of ID scanning technologies you can invest in for your business. Carefully read the specifications to understand which model will serve your purposes the best.
