What Kodak Alaris does

Kodak Alaris is an enterprise data capture and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) vendor selling a combined portfolio of document scanners and AI-enabled software to organizations that need to digitize paper-based workflows. The company was established in 2013 as a spin-off from Eastman Kodak Company and is currently owned by private equity sponsor Kingswood Capital Management, which acquired the business in 2024; Platinum Equity provided recapitalization financing in 2025. Core operations and R&D are based in Rochester, New York, with commercial reach across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America through direct enterprise sales and a global channel partner network rated 5-star by CRN for eight consecutive years.

Kodak Alaris's product portfolio spans hardware — the S5000, S3000, i4000, i5000, E1000, and ScanMate scanner lines covering portable, office, and production segments — and software including KODAK Info Input Solution (an IDP platform with GenAI capabilities integrated via an Open Intelligence architecture connecting to AWS, Google, and Microsoft AI services), KODAK Capture Pro Software (production digitization with indexing and barcode reading), INfuse Smart Connected Scanning, and Smart Touch Technology for one-button workflow automation. The technical foundation is built around Perfect Page image processing and proprietary media handling, certified under TWAIN/ISIS/WIA/Kofax VRS standards and FADGI for government compliance work.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales, one-time and recurring software licensing, tiered service plans (Essential, Advanced, Premium) covering maintenance and multi-vendor support, usage-based scanner rental (US and Canada), and professional services for installation, training, and capture workflow optimization. Customer segments are weighted toward Government, Healthcare, BPO/Service Bureau, and Financial & Insurance, with additional vertical exposure in Education, Legal, Retail, and Logistics. Notable customers include Bank of Brazil, an Argentina banking institution (1,900 scanners deployed), Royal Free Hospital (300 million images digitized in 21 months), Oklahoma State University, and Spectra Logic.
