System requirements and download

Scan App is available for Android and iOS. It runs on iOS 11 or later and Android 5 or later. All barcodes generated in nShift Ship (Consignor) can be scanned with Scan App.

All scanned barcodes are uploaded to Portal using HTTPS requests and responses. When the app is offline, data is stored using local databases and triggers for syncing data when internet becomes available.

You can download Scan App from App Store and Google Play by clicking the link in the SMS or e-mail invitation sent to you from Portal. Learn more about inviting agents in the article Setting up an Action Center.

If you want to install Scan App on a PDA device that does not have access to Google Play, you can download the Scan App APK file here.

Once you have downloaded Scan App, choose your language, enter your name and Agent Key and tap the Connect button. The Agent Key is either your mobile number if you received an SMS invite or your e-mail address if you received an e-mail invite. Confirm your Display settings and you are ready to start using Scan App.
