QR Code in action: A case Study

This client delivers remote well-being sessions for businesses across the UK. Each session is limited to the optimum number of delegates and so, to make the most of the time available, sessions run back to back throughout the day. 

Once the day is scheduled and booked with a customer, their employees will receive a link where they can book a time slot that suits them and fill out all the information our client needs for the session. 

Once the booking is confirmed the delegate receives a confirmation email which includes their unique QRcode. They may then present the QR code on a device or, if they prefer, print it. This means that the busy team can scan and record attendance in seconds. Using the webdna QR code plugin speeds up and improves the efficiency of the entire process.
