Project Scope

       QR Code- Quick response Code

A QR code generator is software that stores data into a barcode (for example a text or a website address), barcodes are machine-readable codes with black and white squares, it is a platform that allows users generate QR code that specifically does something when scanned.

It is a niche tool that is used to generate different types of QR Codes. Depending on your purpose, you can use QR generator to create QR Codes to open a website, view a PDF file, listen to music, watch Youtube videos, store image files, connect to a WiFi network, and much more.

Problem Statement

Maybe in your marketing and advertising campaigns you want to keep track of your products, how will you go about it? QR codes are frequently used to track information about products in a supply chain and – because many smartphones have built-in QR readers – they are often used in marketing and advertising campaigns. More recently, they have played a key role in helping to trace coronavirus exposure and slow the spread of the virus.

Imagine trying to catch a train that will depart very soon, when you bought the ticket you were given a ticket ID to input before you can move into the train, maybe you met a queue before it will come to your turn to input you ticket ID the train might have moved. To tackle this issue we decide to create a platform that can generate downloadable barcodes which will make the process faster and more convienent for users.
