The Context
Challenges in Modern Dealerships
Trophy Scan, part of Caza Outdoors, is a hunters-first technology company addressing a fundamental challenge in the hunting community: traditional trophy scoring is slow, inconsistent, and lacks proper digital preservation. With 14.4 million hunters aged 16+ in the U.S. alone (2022), the need for a modern solution was clear.
The traditional approach created several critical pain points that limited the hunting experience:
Manual Measuring is Slow and Inconvenient
Traditional tape-measure scoring takes significant time, often requires additional tools or assistance, and isn't practical immediately after a hunt in field conditions.
Inconsistent and Error-Prone Scoring
Hand measurements and manual entry lead to mistakes and varying results depending on who measures and their technique, making scores unreliable and difficult to compare.
No Easy Digital Preservation
Hunters lacked a simple way to keep high-quality 3D records of their trophies. Photos don't capture the dimensional detail, and physical storage is the only option for preserving the actual trophy.
Fragmented Record-Keeping
Trophy data was scattered across photos, notes, and spreadsheets with no centralized system for organization or long-term accessibility.
Trophy Scan needed a solution that could deliver field-ready accuracy, maintain consistency across measurements, and create a comprehensive digital ecosystem for trophy preservation and community engagement.
The Solution
LiDAR-Powered Trophy Scanning Platform
Scopic designed and built Trophy Scan as a comprehensive iOS mobile application that uses Apple's LiDAR sensor technology to transform how hunters capture, score, and preserve their trophies. The platform combines cutting-edge 3D scanning with patented scoring algorithms and cloud infrastructure.
How the Platform Works:
The platform automatically calculates accurate scores using proprietary algorithms, including the innovative "Volumetrics" technology.
Technology Stack
The platform leverages modern mobile and cloud technologies:
(secure and highly scalable)
Offline functionality

Why It Worked
Trophy Scan Success Factors
The solution’s success can be attributed to three key factors:
LiDAR-Powered Field Usability
Using iPhone LiDAR to capture accurate 3D scans in minutes, optimized for real hunting conditions (including offline use).
Accurate, Differentiated Scoring with Premium Path
Automated scoring using patented algorithms, with a clear upsell to certified/official scoring as a paid add-on.
End-to-End Digital Experience That Drives Retention
Cloud-based unlimited storage + the Public Trophy Room (social sharing/community) keeps users engaged beyond a single hunt and builds a network effect.
