The infrastructure for community-led food intelligence.
Built from the labels you can’t read, the data the supermarkets won’t share, and the shops your neighbourhood already trusts. ScanSmart is the platform behind KiP, the I500, and The Weekly Supermarket Checkout, Decoded.
Pick your door.
ScanSmart serves four audiences from one platform. Three product doors. One publication door. The same evidence and decode engine sits behind all four.
