Serial Xtractor™
Capture, confirm, certify
Serial Xtractor finds the serial in under a second, checks it against your asset list, and shows every record before you certify.
What happens on a scan
Under a second from capture to serial, on our bench. Against an asset list, that's the whole cycle.
Capture
Photograph the label. The serial is identified from barcodes and printed text.
Confirm
Asset-list matches record at once. Other reads are shown for review.
Certify
One click: a certificate of destruction, and a certificate-of-sanitization label for every device.
You decide how much supervision it gets
You set how long a read stays on screen before it records.
Asset list
An exact match records at once.
Review window
Other clear reads wait the time you set.
Held
Anything unclear waits for the operator.
What comes out
A certificate of destruction and a manifest of every device, under your name.
- Your organization and your customer
- Date and time
- Serial, model and device type
- Destruction method
- Totals by category
- Verification and validation, signed in ink
One record, written as it happens
Every scan is its own entry, with its capture time and the operator's decision.
We're building the rest: the original capture kept unaltered, and a hash anyone can check.
- Every record is shown and can be corrected before certifying
- Each entry carries the capture time
- Past sessions can be audited
A witness on their own device
The witness opens a read-only link and watches the manifest fill as each device is scanned. They have their own block on the certificate.
Not yet a cryptographic signature. That's on our roadmap.
- No account and no app, just a link
- The link expires after 12 hours
Where it runs
One model, six deployments. Pick the one that fits your floor.
Every deployment produces the same record.
Questions
How accurate is it?
It picks the right serial on 97.7% of legible drive labels, to within one character (87.4% exact), measured in our lab with five-fold cross-validation. Against a supplied asset list, matching is exact.
How is this different from a barcode scanner?
A scanner reads codes; your technician still works out which one is the serial. Serial Xtractor identifies the serial from one capture, in under a second.
What if a device has no barcode?
It reads printed text too.
What happens when it can't read a label?
It holds the drive for a person rather than guessing.
Can it save a serial without anyone checking it?
If you want it to. You set how long a read stays on screen before it records, from zero up.
Does it need an internet connection?
The tablet, fixed mount and on-shredder unit never do. The app needs one to save each scan.
Where is the app's data held?
In the United States, with a platform provider that is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and SOC 2 reported. That's our provider's certification, not ours yet.
Who designed how our data is handled?
An ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Implementer who also holds CISSP, CISM and CRISC. Personal credentials, not company certifications.
How do we know a record hasn't been altered?
Every record is shown and can be corrected before certifying, and past sessions can be audited. A hash on every record and a signed certificate are what we're building, and early customers shape what ships first.
Can our auditor verify a certificate without you?
A public verification page is on our roadmap. Today your auditor checks the certificate against the per-device record behind it.
Can it be built into our shredder?
Yes. That's our on-shredder unit, built to order for any make of shredder, new or retrofit.
Can it write into our ITAD ERP or our own software?
That's our API and SDK. We're looking for a build partner now. Partners choose the first systems we support.
Whose name is on the certificate?
Yours. It's your document, issued by your organization to your client.
What does it cost?
There's a free plan with 500 scans a month and no card needed. Enterprise is priced to your volume.
