After working in a senior programmer/development role for the last 20 years and, having previously covered development languages that's been long gone, I've came to the conclusion that development per-se does does'nt hold any more challenges. After twiddling my thumbs a few for months and working on my own various social network websites (that failed *miserably* to attract visitors) I came across QR Codes in an article on Sky news.
Being an inquisitive type of person I spent long hours looking into QR Codes and their applications and came to the conclusion that these things could revolutionalise the whole mobile web platform. The only shortfall with QR codes are that they are static. Once you've created and printed your QR code there's no going back. If you change your website URL, want visitors to land on an alternative web page or track how many times your QR Code has been scanned then you need to get your website developers to change the coding on your website to handle this (and this isn't cheap, £75/hour for a decent webiste developer). QRMe has taken QR codes one stage further by creating dynamic QR codes (QRMe codes) to save you a lot of time and money.
The web page you want your QR code to point to is stored on our QRMe.co.uk web server. Once your QR Code is scanned the mobile phone will refer to your QRMe account, which then redirects the mobile phone to your chosen web page.
QRMe are offering this basic service free for anyone who would like to use this technology to help advertise / promote their business. All you have to do is register, log in and save your unique QRMe Code and include it in your advert. Your advert will be the centre of attention amongst all those other outdated text/picture only adverts. One click of a mobile phone button will take your potential customers to your e-commerce site. Just image commuters on a train or bus, bored, and wishing for the journey to end to see your advert. How likely will they scan it, if only out of curiosity ?.
I've authored and developed mailorder systems (15 years) handling over 5 million transactions per year, developed inventory systems, web based barcode picking systems for a major UK toy retailer, re-developed MRP systems for a major European plastic vending cup manufacturer, created datacapture systems for a big satalite player, developed mailsort systems and a whole lot more for some big multi national-household names and am smitten by simple technolgy like this - purely down to the fact that QR codes uses are endless. Take a few minutes to think of how you or your business could utilise this technology and, believe me, you'll be amazed.
