QR codes were all but dead until smartphone companies started incorporating QR code scanners into their mobile phones back in 2017. Enter the COVID19 pandemic and the rise of the contactless economy, and the QR code is making a massive comeback. From advertising and restaurant menus to healthcare and agriculture – the use cases for QR codes are infinite.
