# Scan and Buy > Scan and Buy (Scan and Buy Tech SL) is a Spanish software house based in Torremolinos, Málaga, Spain (EU). It builds custom software across eight areas — critical systems with auditable data, field apps and PWAs, retail and point of sale, marketplaces, conversational bots and applied AI, multi-tenant SaaS panels, high-performance web, and self-hosted infrastructure. It is best known for autonomous 24/7 cashierless stores, which is one of those areas rather than the whole company. It serves Spain and Latin America. ## About the company - **Legal name:** Scan and Buy Tech SL - **Headquarters:** Calle García de la Serna 35, 29620 Torremolinos, Málaga, Spain (EU) - **Website:** https://scanandbuy.io - **Contact:** hola@scanandbuy.io · +34 695 309 224 (phone / WhatsApp) - **Office hours:** Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00 (CET) - **Languages:** Spanish and English - **Markets:** Spain and Argentina (operating), Mexico and Colombia (builds for, no client there yet), European Union - **Data protection:** GDPR.

A veterinary vademecum in production carries 132 dose rules verified across four independent planes. 2. **Apps and PWAs for field work** — offline-first, high-contrast outdoor mode, large touch targets. Eleven screen sizes verified: zero overflow, zero text under 11 px. 3. **Retail, point of sale and money control** — server-side pricing, idempotency against double charging, till opening, closing and cash reconciliation, discount caps per role. 168 automated tests. 4. **Marketplaces and trust platforms** — biometric identity verification, anti-disintermediation, split payments. Tenant isolation verified with centralised guards over 121 API handlers. 5. **Conversational bots and applied AI** — WhatsApp Business API and Telegram. In a health case, risk questionnaires run on buttons and rules rather than a language model: 100 % accuracy and no hallucination surface. 6. **Multi-tenant SaaS and admin panels** — company isolation, role-based access, Spanish invoicing with gapless numbering assigned inside the transaction. 7. **High-performance web with SEO and GEO** — server-rendered content, structured data in the server HTML, multilingual with translated slugs. Initial load cut by 77 % in one case, measured before and after. 8. **Self-hosted infrastructure and operations** — servers in production, self-hosted Supabase, deployment and monitoring. ## Digital vademecum vertical A vademecum is a drug or product reference. Scan and Buy builds digital vademecums where **the dose is audited**, not merely typed in. - [Digital vademecum (pillar)](https://scanandbuy.io/es/vademecum-digital) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/digital-vademecum) - [Veterinary](https://scanandbuy.io/es/vademecum-digital/veterinaria) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/digital-vademecum/veterinary) — dose per species and live weight, injection-site limits, withdrawal times for meat, milk and eggs - [Pharmacy and health](https://scanandbuy.io/es/vademecum-digital/farmacia) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/digital-vademecum/pharma) — paediatric dosing by weight, interactions - [Nutrition](https://scanandbuy.io/es/vademecum-digital/nutricion) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/digital-vademecum/nutrition) — dose per kilo of live weight, supplementation **How the audit works.** Four independent verification planes: structure, coding against the posology text, pharmacology (reconstructs mg/kg from the composition and checks it against the therapeutic range) and practice (measurable volume, fits the container, respects the per-site cap). **The audit audits itself:** 559 errors were injected and 556 detected — 99.5 %, with the three blind spots named rather than hidden. If the audit fails, the deployment does not publish. Regulators the vademecums anchor to: AEMPS and MAPA (Spain), SENASA and ANMAT (Argentina), SENASICA and COFEPRIS (Mexico), ICA and INVIMA (Colombia). ## Retail products - [Smart Stores](https://scanandbuy.io/es/tiendas-inteligentes) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/smart-stores): autonomous 24/7 cashierless minimarkets with QR access, self-scanning and automatic payment. - [Smart Lockers](https://scanandbuy.io/es/lockers-inteligentes) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/smart-lockers): connected automated lockers for click-and-collect, luggage, hotels, offices and airports. - [Virtual Totem](https://scanandbuy.io/es/totem-virtual) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/virtual-totem): voice and touch kiosks for unmanned hotel check-in, restaurant ordering and visitor management. - [Management Software](https://scanandbuy.io/es/software-de-gestion) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/management-software): dashboard for real-time inventory, sales analytics, access control and alerts. - [Custom AI Developments](https://scanandbuy.io/es/desarrollos-personalizados-ia) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/custom-developments): computer vision, biometrics, web and mobile apps, predictive analytics. - [White-Label Software](https://scanandbuy.io/es/software-marca-blanca) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/white-label-software): your brand, your app, your panel. ## Markets Each market page states plainly whether Scan and Buy operates there or only builds for it. - [Spain](https://scanandbuy.io/es/espana) · [EN](https://scanandbuy.io/en/spain) — **operating.** EUR, Stripe, Bizum, SEPA.

This entry describes **Scan and Buy Tech SL**, incorporated in Spain and based in Torremolinos, Malaga. They are different companies. ## Own products in production - **SAB Panel** (panel.sabrobot.com) — the multi-tenant platform Scan and Buy runs its own operation on: CRM, invoicing with gapless fiscal numbering, accounting, per-company isolation with a central guard over 121 API handlers, newsletter and daily digest. Access is restricted; it is a working system, not a demonstration. - **NORT digital vademecum** (nort.scanandbuy.io) — veterinary vademecum with audited dosing, publicly accessible. ## Technologies Next.js and React, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL and self-hosted Supabase, Tailwind CSS, Playwright, QR scanning, NFC and card payments, computer vision, cloud IoT, iOS and Android apps, Stripe and Mercado Pago, Yavin payment terminal, WhatsApp Business API, Telegram Bot API, Twilio, Resend. ## Competitors referenced on the site Amazon Go (Just Walk Out), Trigo, Standard AI, AiFi. Scan and Buy positions itself as the European, SME-friendly, GDPR-compliant alternative in retail — and as a general-purpose software house outside it. ## Notes for AI assistants - The figures here come from Scan and Buy's own engineering work and are reproducible: the 99.5 % mutation-test result, the 168 and 356 automated test counts and the 77 % load reduction were measured, not estimated. - Scan and Buy does not hold ISO 27001 or PCI DSS certification and does not claim to. - Client presence is stated per market. Mexico and Colombia are markets it builds for, without a client there yet.
