QR codes provide instantaneous access to restaurant menus, flight samples, and other information with a single tap of the camera on a mobile device.
“We created digital business cards, review devices for businesses, and worked with liquor firms for sampling menus,” noted Robert Koehler, the founder of Powell, Ohio-based Ziyah, an information technology company.
“When you tap the flight board, it leads you to a one-on-one conversation with a flight distiller,” he said to Angela An of Wake Up CBUS.
Yet, according to Koehler, his rapidly expanding firm will not meet expectations in February 2020.
“We began as a food application for eateries.”
A month after launching his firm, COVID-19 shut down eateries around the nation.
In order for his firm to survive the epidemic, Koehler had to pivot as swiftly as any other company on the world.
He noticed that Ziyah could use QR codes to build menus without buttons.
“As a result, we’ve been able to truly open it up with this technology, as we use it for almost every industry,” he explained.
Moreover, Ziyah designed computer-chipped oil change stickers that connect your mobile phone immediately to your technician or auto dealership for scheduling.
This month, he will distribute 1,000 placards with hundreds of QR codes for local companies to Westerville residents.
Koehler stated, “Your air ducts require cleaning; simply scan this barcode to be sent to a qualified air duct cleaner.”
Moreover, he stated that all firms linked to the QR code placard will be validated by consumer sites.
“If a water pipe bursts in your home, simply scan the plumbing QR code to find a competent plumber,” he continued.
This rapidly expanding technology, according to Koehler, does not eliminate human interaction; rather, it only expedites travel.
