QR Code – Smart solution to trace the origin of goods during the Covid-19 pandemic
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, QR Code traceability is considered a smart solution to meet the needs of consumers to know in detail about the origin of products, from production to delivery to the process of transportation and storage before reaching the customer.

QR Code will easily handle shipments of poor quality or counterfeit goods and make the control of goods entering the transparent market.

Danger from goods of unknown origin

With a market where unknown foods are widely sold, it is difficult for consumers to avoid the dangers that this situation causes. In fact, many people face threats from the foods they are using every day. Many foods seem fresh and eye-catching, but the truth about their origin and origin is little known.

Many consumers still believe the seller's advertisements and assume that these foods have a clear origin. Therefore, they do not hesitate to buy in large quantities, many people also buy as gifts for colleagues and friends.

However, no one dares to say for sure that the foods widely sold on the market are guaranteed of their origin and quality. While, in many localities, the authorities have discovered and handled many establishments that use chemicals and flavorings to keep food fresh and attractive for a long time.

A more sophisticated trick used by manufacturers to deceive consumers about the origin and quality of products is the use of "fake" stamps and labels. Despite being very conscious in choosing foods with full labels, consumers still cannot avoid "wrongly buying" dirty, poor-quality foods in the market.

Control goods in a transparent way

Although QR Code technology has only been widely applied in the past few years, it has proven to be a major breakthrough to replace traditional barcodes. That's thanks to the ability to store hundreds of times more information with many different character formats.

Users can freely scan QR Code from anywhere, at any distance and location. With the ability to recover from 30 to 35% of data in the event of contamination or damage, QR Code technology completely overcomes the limitations of traditional barcodes.

Absolute information security is also one of the reasons why payment via QR Code is becoming more and more popular. Accordingly, when choosing this form of payment, customers do not need to enter personal information such as account numbers, card numbers, etc., which are considered very easy to be exploited by hackers.

Instead, customers just need to use their phones to scan the QR Code. At that time, the software will read and display the encrypted information according to regulations, thereby improving the safety of customers and service providers. In addition, payment via QR Code helps mobile users save transaction time and ensure the absolute accuracy of information by not having to enter data.

Besides, QR Code not only brings practical value to consumers but also manufacturers and distributors of clean food also benefit. By attaching the QR Code to the product, businesses can update all the most accurate information about their own products. The issue of publicity and transparency in the production and distribution process, through the information attached to the QR Code, will create the absolute trust of consumers, and this is also one of the forms of Marketing, advertising and branding are extremely effective.
