Scannel – your personal product consultant

Your shopping cart, your rules:
You know what’s good for you. We help you get it.
You know what’s harming you. We can protect you.

Does this seem familiar? That shampoo smells phenomenal – and makes your skin itch as soon as it touches your head. Or this tasty cereal bar – two bites and your recommended daily intake of sugar is exceeded. And then you get sick – damn, did it contain lactose?

Chemical additives, hidden fats, allergenic substances: As a general rule we do not know the contents of the products until we consume them on trial and error basis. Hardly anybody is willing to take the stresses and strains of reading the long and incomprehensible list of ingredients on the packaging every time we want to take something home from the shop. But bad buys are not just annoying – they can be dangerous and even life threatening if you suffer from an allergy or diabetes.

Persons who need to avoid certain substances because of an allergy, a disease or intolerance often have to study the long list of ingredients in the shop, which is frustrating and time-consuming – or they may go for it and realize at home that they cannot consume a product. In the worst case consumers may not realize a product may be harmful to them and encounter physically harm by accidentally consuming them.

You are sick of having to chose between shopping-fun and security? You have had enough of bad buys? Then get yourself Scannel, the one-of-a-kind product advice app – and you will only put the products into your shopping cart which really should be in there.

Scannel helps you buy only the products you really want. Individually customized, fast and safe. You specify which ingredients you want to avoid. We inform you which products you should better leave in the shop. We promise you a secure and at the same time happy-go-lucky shopping – despite of your allergy or food intollerance.

How does it work?
It’s as simple as that: Just set up your personal profile with the ingredients you want to avoid. Then you scan the product code on the packaging with your smartphone camera. And we indicate if it is safe for you to take the product home or if you better leave it the shop. We also send you additional information about the product, e.g. its nutrition facts in just a matter of seconds.

Who should use it?

Everyone who suffers from an allergy or an intollerance and wants to buy only products that will not contain certain substances.

Everyone who wants to avoid certain ingredients for some other reasons, like vegetarians or religious reasons such as kosher or hallal, genetically manipulated.

Everyone who is not willing to spend time trying to read and interpret the list of ingredients on the packaging.

And everyone who may simply not be able to read, because of a handicap.


And of course everyone, who just wants to know what is really in the products they buy.

Our work is based on the biggest and up to date product information database in the world. It contains manufacturer information about ingredients and health risks of a broad range of products – food, cosmetics, medicine products and many more. We check if a product fits your individual requirements and inform you if it meets these – you can always rely on our competent and immediate advice.

Scannel works everywhere in the world, without language barriers. It can also easily be used by people with visual impairment or reading difficulties, because it may be set to use vibrations or acoustic signals in order to warn about dangerous ingredients.

We always seek to expand our database and the features of our app. We seek to deliver extensive services to match any individual requirement.

Scannel. So you buy just the things you really want.
