A QR code is a 2D machine-readable code that contains information about the product to which it is attached. QR codes are generated in the Illuminate platform that links the physical product with its digital twin.

QR codes are applied to a product, label, or packaging and when scanned, redirect to a brand-defined URL. They connect consumers to a wealth of information, including product details, instructions, promotions, and more.

In the past, brands had to do a lot of guesswork to learn about consumer behaviors and interests. With QR codes brands can gather valuable first-party data from every interaction, which can be used to deliver contextually relevant content and experiences and gain new consumer insights.

Illuminate™ Platform

While QR codes on their own provide brands with information, without a centralized repository it can be difficult to contextualize the information they get. The Illuminate platform aggregates and organizes first-party data to deliver insights and drive actions.
