How it works

Process Barcodes in Just a Few Steps

Instantly capture and convert documents with barcodes into any structured format for easier integration. Always get the best results with automatic edge detection for more accurate processing.
Send Your Documents
Take a picture or send a PDF of your document containing a barcode and upload it to our platform in any of these formats: 
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .heic, .webp, and more.
Extract Data
As soon as a picture or PDF of your document has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file and the barcode from the document is extracted.
Receive Formatted Output
The Klippa Parser then takes the TXT and converts it into structured data. Thanks to machine learning, you can have your data in a structured format like JSON, XML, or CSV.
Forward Your Data
After transforming your data into a structured format, you can then forward it to your software of choice for further processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a barcode?
A barcode is a machine-readable form of information in a visual format. It is often an image consisting of a series of numbers with parallel black and white lines that a scanner can read. When scanned, the barcode reveals information about a product. 

Barcodes provide an efficient way for organizations to deal with purchase, inventory tracking, supply chain management, verification, and invoice processes. 

There are two types of barcodes: 1-Dimensional (1D) barcodes such as EANs and 2-Dimensional (2D) barcodes such as Quick Response (QR) codes. The advantage of 2D barcodes lie in their ability to hold more data than 1D codes. 

With Klippa’s OCR, you can digitize documents with barcodes and store files digitally. By automating barcode processing, you can increase efficiency while reducing human errors. 

Did you know that apart from barcodes, Klippa’s OCR can scan other types of data fields, such as QR codes, EAN codes, or even serial numbers? Contact us for more information.

It is most commonly used by clients in the wholesale, retail, logistics, healthcare, automotive and insurance industry.

Is Klippa barcode capturing GDPR-compliant?
All the services that Klippa offers are fully GDPR-compliant. By default, we use ISO-certified servers within the European Union for processing. If you are not located within the EU, we can also set up servers in a region of choice. 

Next to that, a data processor agreement is in place. We do not store any of your or your customers’ data after processing.
Can Klippa convert documents to CSV, XLSX, XML or JSON?
Yes we can. Klippa takes pictures of documents, or their PDF equivalents, and converts them to readable text using OCR. From there we use machine learning to turn the text into structured data. Most of the time we use JSON for this, but depending on your preferences we can also convert documents to CSV, XLSX or XML.
