Use case: QR-code ordering system

Turn a QR scan into a demand signal.

The code identifies an ordering point, not a blank form. Article, quantity, supplier and destination are already available for confirmation.

Current process

A QR code alone does not create a reliable process

Generic forms still ask users to enter product and destination data. KanbanSignal links the code to a maintained ordering context and validates the resulting signal on the server.

How it works

One clear flow at every ordering point.

01
Scan
Open the prepared ordering point with a smartphone camera.
02
Confirm
Review the article, quantity and delivery destination.
03
Supply
Route the demand, track its status and record receipt.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this scenario.

What happens if the app is not installed?

The same protected ordering point can open in the browser after authentication. The exact rollout is configured for the customer environment.

Do users need a dedicated QR-code scanner?

No. The QR code can be scanned with the native camera of a regular smartphone. KanbanSignal then opens the prepared ordering point in the app or browser.

Is a new demand immediately visible to the responsible team?

Yes. Confirmed demand and subsequent status changes are synchronized in real time across connected mobile and desktop devices.
