Scanova

Scanning products in a supermarket aisle now feels completely normal.
That’s why countries like Japan are preparing to introduce QR Codes on food packaging by 2027, giving consumers richer product information without cluttered labels.
Today’s shoppers want more than ingredients and expiry dates. They expect sourcing details, sustainability info, recipes, allergen updates, recalls, and real-time transparency.
Traditional packaging can’t keep up. QR Codes can.
With Scanova’s dynamic QR Codes, businesses can update product info anytime, create mobile-friendly experiences, track engagement, and avoid costly reprints.
Connected packaging isn’t the future anymore; it's already happening.

QR Codes are becoming much more than just “scan to open menu” tools.
Imagine scanning the same QR Code at different times of the day and seeing completely different menus.
That’s exactly what dynamic QR Codes can do.
Restaurants are using time-based scheduling in Scanova to automate breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as promotional menu updates, without changing printed QR Codes again and again.
A smarter and more flexible way to manage menus.

Has this ever happened to you?
Your weekend sale ends Friday. You feel great — the campaign went well.
Then on Wednesday, a customer walks up to your staff, phone in hand, showing a screenshot of the 20% off deal from your shelf talker QR Code... which is very much still live.
Cue the awkward explanation. Cue the frustrated customer. Cue the unnecessary headache for your whole team.
The worst part? You printed 500 of those shelf talkers. And you can't run back into every store to pull them all down.
The good news: there's an easy fix.
Scanova's QR Code Scheduling lets you set an expiry date on your QR Codes BEFORE you even print. When the sale ends, the code stops automatically. No manual updates. No ghost links. No Wednesday drama.
