QR code reporting: the numbers, on a schedule

Scheduled email reports, exports that open in Excel, and a weekly digest — for the people who need the figures but will never sign in.

Reports go to people, not dashboards

The person who commissioned the poster is rarely the person with the login, and asking them to sign in weekly to a tool they use for nothing else is how reporting quietly stops happening. So the report goes to them: a scheduled email, on the day you choose, with the figures in the body rather than behind a link.

What a report contains

Scans over the period against the one before it, the codes and links that moved, where the scans came from by country and region, what people scanned with, and anything that broke — a destination that started returning an error, a code whose scans fell off a cliff.

Grouped by campaign where you use them, so a report about the spring catalogue is about the spring catalogue rather than about everything you have ever published.

Exports, for when the report is not the answer

CSV and Excel, of scans or of the codes themselves. The scan export is one row per scan with the fields we actually hold — time, country, region, device, code, campaign — which is enough to pivot and not enough to identify anybody, because we do not hold that.

Alerts are the report you did not schedule

A destination that goes dead, a first scan on a code you just printed, a spike far outside the usual pattern. Those are worth an email at the time rather than a line in a summary three weeks later, when the poster has been up and broken the whole while.

What you can do with it

Eleven reports behind one filter

Set the period, the codes and the campaign once, and every report answers for that selection — audience, geography, devices, referrers, time of day, conversions. No re-filtering, and no two reports quietly disagreeing about what they cover.

The numbers arrive before the meeting

Scheduled reports go out by email on your own timezone — Monday at eight means Monday at eight where you are. The weekly figure is read rather than assembled.

Compare periods, places and codes

This month against last, one region against another, the reprint against the original. Side by side rather than remembered, which is the difference between an argument and a decision.

More in the same place

Time of day, and day of week When the scans actually happen, so the reprint goes out on the right morning and the staffing matches the queue.

Country, region and city Down to the city the scan resolved to, with a concentration figure that says whether a campaign travelled or stayed home.

Devices, browsers and languages Device type, operating system, browser and the browser's own language preference — the four things that decide whether your landing page is right for who arrives on it.

Repeat scans How many came back, how quickly, and scans per visitor. The closest thing to loyalty that anonymous data can honestly show.

Grouped by campaign A report about the spring catalogue is about the spring catalogue, not about everything you have ever published.

CSV and Excel, of anything on screen One row per scan with the fields we hold — enough to pivot, not enough to identify anybody, because we do not hold that.

Alerts you did not schedule A destination that goes dead, a first scan on a code you just printed, a spike outside the usual pattern. Emailed at the time, not summarised three weeks later.

Recipients without logins The person who commissioned the poster gets the figures in the body of an email. No account, no password, no reason to ignore it.

How to do it

Questions

Can I get QR code reports by email?

Yes. Scheduled reports go out on the day you choose, with the figures in the email body rather than behind a sign-in, so they reach the people who commissioned the work and do not have an account. A weekly digest and alerts for dead destinations and unusual spikes are separate switches.

Can I export QR code scan data?

CSV and Excel, of scans or of codes. One row per scan with time, country, region, device, code and campaign. There is no personal data in it because none is collected — you can pivot it, you cannot identify anybody from it.

How far back does the reporting go?

Scan history is kept for the life of the account on paid plans. Free accounts keep full analytics too — the limit there is on how many dynamic codes you can have, not on how much of their history you can see.

Try it with one code

The free plan has no expiry and asks for no card, and the analytics behind it are the same ones a paying customer gets.
