SCANBUY was not always about mobile barcode scanning. Since we started the company with Michael Klug in March 2000 (official date when the company was founded), we needed to find a niche market. Camera phone did not exist in the US yet. So the idea was still to link the physical world to the Internet.
At that time, after the bubble bust, it was all about B2B. WebVan killed the B2C market for a while. So we focused on the market of replenishment of office supplies using personal barcode scanner and web based platform. The scanners came from Symbol Technologies and the system was developed internally.
