View details

Traditional QR codes are completely blind.

You know you got scans. But which table? Which floor? Which event sign?

Static QR codes give you nothing — no placement data, no context, no routing logic. Every physical touchpoint is a black hole.

No placement-level data

You see total scans, but can't tell if they came from Table 3, the entrance sign, or a booth at an expo.

Static destinations

Your breakfast QR still shows the dinner menu at midnight. Rules don't exist. Every visitor gets the same outdated page.

Hundreds of unmanageable codes

Changing an offer means reprinting every QR code in every location. One update, hundreds of physical codes — a logistical nightmare.

Zero optimization signal

Without knowing which placements convert best, you're guessing where to focus. Budget is wasted on ineffective physical locations.

From scan to insight in milliseconds.

Every scan triggers a smart chain of events — placement identified, rules evaluated, visitor routed, data captured.

Step 1
Scan / Tap
Visitor scans QR or taps NFC at any physical location
Step 2
Placement ID
System identifies exact physical placement — table, room, booth, sign
Step 3
Rule Engine
Time, date, device, and location rules evaluated instantly
Step 4
Analytics
Scan logged with full context: time, device, placement, rule matched
Step 5
Redirect
Visitor sent to the perfect destination — menu, booking page, form, schedule, or review link

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about Scanlayer for search engines, AI assistants, and teams evaluating physical QR and NFC analytics.

What is Scanlayer?

Scanlayer is a Physical Engagement Intelligence Platform. It lets you create one dynamic smart link for many physical QR and NFC placements, route visitors with smart rules (time, location, device, and context), and measure scans and taps per placement from a single analytics dashboard.

How is Scanlayer different from a generic QR code generator?

Generic QR tools create static codes with little or no placement-level insight. Scanlayer tracks each physical placement separately (tables, rooms, booths, signs), supports dynamic destinations without reprinting, and includes a rule engine plus analytics for scans, unique visitors, devices, and peak hours.

What is a smart placement?

A smart placement is a named physical touchpoint—such as Table 12, Lobby NFC, or Booth A—linked to your smart link. Each placement has its own short URL or code so you can see which location drives engagement.

What analytics does Scanlayer provide?

Scanlayer reports total scans, unique visitors, QR versus NFC split, peak hours, device and platform breakdown, top placements, geographic context where available, and a detailed scan event log with filters.

What are smart routing rules?

Smart routing rules automatically send visitors to different destinations based on conditions such as time of day, date, country, device type, or event phase—for example breakfast menu before noon, live schedule during an event, or a Google Review link after checkout.

Does Scanlayer support NFC as well as QR codes?

Yes. The same smart link and placement model works for printed QR codes and NFC tags. Scanlayer distinguishes scan versus tap events so you can compare QR and NFC performance.

Who is Scanlayer built for?

Scanlayer is built for restaurants, hotels, events and exhibitions, salons and clinics, offices, retail, and real estate showrooms—any business that uses physical QR or NFC touchpoints and needs measurable, placement-level analytics.

Does Scanlayer include online appointment booking?

Yes. The Appointment Booking template gives guests a branded page to choose a service, pick a team member, select a time slot, and receive email confirmation. You manage services, availability, and bookings from the appointment manager in your dashboard.
