Client Outcomes

Advanced Data Security & Offline Capabilities

SCAN 3 encrypts all collected data and syncs it to DFS’s servers only when a network connection is available, ensuring security even in offline environments.

Customizable Testing Workflows

Each DFS client has unique drug-testing requirements. SCAN 3 dynamically adjusts workflows to match specific protocols, reducing user error and improving compliance.
