Hakikisha Bidhaa

Hakikisha Bidhaa is GS1 Kenya's companion app for checking that a product barcode is genuine and ready for the shelf.

Scan a barcode or type the product code (GTIN). Hakikisha looks it up in GS1 records and shows trusted details such as product name, company, size, category, and target market. If the code is not registered, you'll know immediately.

GS1 members can also photograph a printed barcode to review its scan quality before products go to market. The app guides you to use good light, show the full symbol, and hold the phone steady, then returns an ISO/IEC 15416-style print quality grade.

FEATURES • Scan EAN, UPC, QR, GS1 Data Matrix, and other common barcodes • Enter a GTIN by hand when a scan isn't possible • See official product details straight from GS1 Kenya • Check barcode print quality from a photo • Review recent scans and quality checks in History • No account required to get started

Hakikisha needs camera access to scan barcodes and photograph symbols, and photo library access if you choose an image from your device.
