Chip card imaging and verification system

A method, comprising:

• by a barcode scanner, scanning a two-dimensional barcode printed on a sleeve of cards to capture an image of the two-dimensional barcode, each card within the sleeve of cards comprising an integrated circuit chip operable to store chip information about the sleeve of cards;
• by one or more computer systems, determining, using the scanned barcode, barcode information for the sleeve of cards, the barcode information comprising at least a first chip expiration date for all of the cards in the sleeve of cards;
• by the one or more computer systems, accessing particular chip information read by a chip reader for a particular card of the sleeve of cards;
• by the one or more computer systems, determining whether the accessed particular chip information read by the chip reader for the particular card matches the barcode information from the two-dimensional barcode;
• by the one or more computer systems, updating the database to include the first chip expiration date for the sleeve of cards if it is determined that the accessed particular chip information read by the chip reader for the particular card matches the barcode information from the two-dimensional barcode;
• by the one or more computer systems, analyzing a plurality of chip expiration dates stored in the database, each chip expiration date associated with a particular group of cards from a plurality of groups of cards stored in inventory;
• and
• by the one or more computer systems, determining, based on the analysis of the chip expiration dates stored in the database, that the particular card should be issued before the plurality of groups of cards.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• access an image of a two-dimensional barcode captured by a barcode scanner, the barcode printed on the sleeve of cards, each card of the sleeve of cards comprising an integrated circuit chip operable to store chip information about the sleeve of cards;
• determine, using the image of the two-dimensional barcode, barcode information for the sleeve of cards, the barcode information comprising at least a first chip expiration date for all of the cards in the sleeve of cards;
• access particular chip information read by a chip reader for a particular card of the sleeve of cards;
• determine whether the accessed particular chip information read by the chip reader for the particular card matches the barcode information from the two-dimensional barcode;
• update the database to include the first chip expiration date for the sleeve of cards if it is determined that the accessed particular chip information read by the chip reader for the particular card matches the barcode information from the two-dimensional barcode;
• analyze a plurality of chip expiration dates stored in the database, each chip expiration date associated with a particular group of cards from a plurality of groups of cards stored in inventory;
• and
• determine, based on the analysis of the chip expiration dates stored in the database, that the particular card should be issued before the plurality of groups of cards.
