About Softek Software
Softek Software was established in 1998 to provide programming services in the field of image processing. In 2001 the company was involved in a project to process timesheets stamped with barcodes. No software in the market place provided the simple, cost effective solution required, so they developed their own barcode reading toolkit. The first commercial version of the toolkit was released later that year.
