ScanGuard

ScanGuard® from ABnote North America provides the card industry with a unique solution to duplicates, missing numbers, and out-of-sequence order. Through a proprietary set of quality assurance, logistics control, and database management tools ABnote North America makes a simple promise – to take the hassle out of managing a gift card program and safeguarding the value of each card for retailers and their customers.

ScanGuard® is unique to ABnote North America – no one in the card industry offers anything quite like it. It’s a complete end-to-end process.

It’s critical that all gift, loyalty, and phone cards manufactured and distributed to retail locations have no duplicate cards, are in the right numeric sequence, have an accurate item count, have matching barcode and magnetic stripe numbers, and represent the correct dollar value on each card. ScanGuard® checks that each number assigned to a batch of cards matches a master database and that all cards are in perfect numeric sequence.

ScanGuard® begins by protecting a retailer’s account records, ordering, and shipping data. Our proprietary ScanGuard® software uses OCR scanning to track every customer’s order right down to each ID number on every card. We make sure that there’s never a duplicate or missing number in the system. Our scanning and software tracks each card throughout the manufacturing process – from card encoding to packing to shipment.

Whether it’s a single card, or a shipping pallet – every card, sleeve, and carton is accounted for to maintain inventory integrity for our customers’ order. The net result is the ability to drill down from the skid, to the carton, to the sleeve, to the card. In our business where retailers order millions of cards, the six-sigma standard of quality (six errors per million) just isn’t good enough for us. 

We’re not just protecting your order, we’re protecting your brand.
