Not your standard QR code

A typical QR code scan performs a single function - retrieving a webpage URL.

ContactPigeon's patented 2-Way QR integration allows users to have more varied, personalized interactions unique to each customer profile. The system verifies between existing or new profiles, thus retrieving relevant promotional content according to the occasion.

Unified digital and physical touchpoints

Whenever someone scans the QR code, we track all the relevant physical information, including the scanning device, location, IP network, and all the subsequent activities online. Thus you will have all visitor data, both online and offline, unified into a single-view profile.
