As you're probably well aware, our service makes heavy use of QR code technology. But, while QR codes have been around for quite some time, native support for the 2D bar codes has been lacking in most mobile devices. We don't mind answering calls from people saying "I took a picture of the QR code but nothing happened." But, it [...]
We have partnered with TapTrack—giving you the option to use your CVS ID badges to check into (and out of) a work site. Of course, with those same ID cards, you still have access to the vast array of CVS services via its QR code. Watch the video ↓ Here's the script: CVS, InstantCard’s Credential Verification Service, has [...]

Clients often ask us our recommendation for the best QR Code Reader app. For years, we have recommended i-nigma, which is free and available on all platforms. It is extremely fast and reliable, and offers just the features required by CVS users. Lucas over at www.uqr.me has published a list of "The 11 Best QR Code Reader Apps for Android, [...]
At the heart of the CVS service are the credit card-style badges. These badges (if you are not already aware) are printed by InstantCard—America's leading cloud-based ID card service. InstantCard is passionate about using technology to efficiently enhance ID cards. This is, in fact, how CVS was born. So, of course, it behooves us to share InstantCard's most recent [...]
Somehow, in our excitement over redesigning our website, we eliminated the page allowing you to request a free sample ID card. This was a gross oversight—The plastic ID badges are the heart of the Credential Verification Service. And, giving you the chance to see how durable, professional, and pretty they are is very important to us. (Did we mention they're [...]
At the heart of the Credential Verification Service are the plastic, credit card-style ID badges on which is printed each QR code. After all, CVS was born from InstantCard—America's first 100% cloud-based ID card service. (Read more about our story.) Well, InstantCard just released a new video introducing its service. And since much of it pertains to our clients as [...]
... which is OK by us. We love fresh uses of old technology. Barcodes were originally developed in 1948. I’ll do the math for you—that’s 68 years ago! Yet, barcodes are still extremely useful. We work with companies of all sizes to find the best ways to use barcodes on their ID cards. So, naturally, we’re always interested to [...]
We love technology—it is from this love that CVS was born. In our excitement for the cool functionality of the service, we did our best to include on our website examples of how it may be used, good documentation of our API, and fancy videos showing its utilitarian aspect. But, perhaps now its time to admit it—maybe we love [...]
