Our work with GS1 has been featured in The Times, as Orca Scan provides the technology behind the next innovation of barcodes.

Louise Eccles, Consumer Affairs Editor, writes: “The barcode is so integral to daily life that it is scanned ten billion times a day, more times than Google’s search engine is used.

“In the future, shoppers will be able to scan a jar of sauce and be taken to a screen with a series of icons that can tell them detailed information.”
