Since our founding in 1992, we’ve sold more than 1,200 scanners in 34 countries to hundreds of customers across a wide variety of industries. Our customers chose IBML because they value the increase in efficiency we bring to the document conversion process.
At IBML, we manufacture and market high-end document imaging machines—both the hardware and the software that runs it. Our primary product is built on the ImageTrac scanning platform. ImageTrac includes the high-speed, high-capacity ImageTrac scanners that convert paper documents into color and bi-tonal digital images, as well as SoftTrac, our innovative scanner application software. We’ve engineered our intelligent document systems to help clients efficiently convert paper files into useable, manageable electronic documents.
Gary Murphy founded the company in 1992, having identified an industry need for a solution capable of handling the growing volume of documents considered "difficult to scan." From the beginning, we’ve put extraordinary emphasis on engineering; you could say it’s in our blood. In the process of creating a transport capable of rapidly capturing intermixed documents, we also pioneered unique systems for detecting double feeds document registration, pinch-less paper movement and pocketing technologies. In fact, many of the features considered industry standards were originally innovations of IBML’s superior engineering.
By 1994, a large Australian airline began using the ImageTrac scanner to capture color images of passenger tickets. Since then, our scanners have become the airline "industry standard," capturing images of more than 1.5 million passenger tickets per day.
Today, the ImageTrac Scanning Platform is employed across several industries in a variety of complex applications, such as wholesale lockbox, tax returns and payments, passport applications, document archive, pharmaceutical prescription processing, remittance, airline tickets, accounts receivables, test scoring and order entry applications.
Many of the country's largest banks use the ImageTrac platform to capture color images of forms, checks, invoices, envelopes and other documents. In the state and federal government sectors, the Company has earned an unparalleled reputation for providing the flexibility, speed and high quality color images required to process tax returns and passport applications along with introducing high-speed 2D barcode recognition. Recently, companies have come to rely on the ImageTrac platform to drive high quality color images of invoices, passenger tickets, checks, legal records and statements to the Internet.
Since 1992, we’ve sold more than 1,200 ImageTrac systems to more than 134 customers and resellers in more than 30 countries worldwide.
