QR code scanner for Cupoco

Sonntag, Dezember 20th, 2009

Great news from Cupoco!

Since this week we have a technical partner for 1D and 2D-code scanners. It’s a company in the north of germany with nearly 18 years of experience in this field.

From now on Cupoco can provide a solution for scanning QR codes, DataMatrix codes and barcodes directly from the mobile phone.

For people who are not so familiar with this topic, a brief explanation of the problem of scanning codes from mobile phones. Commercially available scanners that you can find in supermarkets for example can’t scan 1D and 2D-codes from the mobile phone. This technology doesn’t recognize anything on the screen. That’s why we need special scanners for that.

This technology will be a standard in future, which we assume. In the US for example,  some companies use it already for redeeming vouchers with the mobile phone.

Now we can offer a 360 degree mobile couponing solution even for companies with a lot of customers for which entering numercial codes is not a adequate solution.
