We have completely rewritten Scan App to align with modern mobile development standards, ensuring robust security, improved performance, and long-term maintainability. The new Scan App is built using up-to-date technologies to be fully compliant with modern platforms, reducing security risks and improving supportability. This upgrade allows us to deliver faster updates, better support, and a more stable experience for all users.
 

What is Scan App?

Scan App is a mobile shipment scanner designed for drivers, carriers, and warehouse teams. It allows users to add status or delivery events to shipments created in any nShift Book & Print product. In addition to supplementing the main carrier’s tracking flow, Scan App enables shippers and local carriers to enrich shipment data with additional delivery milestones, including proof-of-delivery and recipient signatures.

Device Requirement

Scan App requires a minimum operating system version to work:

  • Android: 7.0 (Nougat) or newer
  • iOS: 13.4 or newer

To check your Android version: go to Settings → About phone → Android version.

To check your iOS (iPhone and iPad) version: go to Settings → General → About → iOS Version.

If your device is running an older version and the manufacturer no longer provides updates, it will not be compatible with Scan App. This is common with dedicated hardware scanners (like barcode scanning devices) that do not receive OS updates from the manufacturer.
