UK-based startup launches xcan.it, a dynamic QR code generator for long-term use across print and digital materials
London, United Kingdom – UK-based startup xcan.it has launched a dynamic QR code generator platform designed for long-term use across print and digital environments. The platform allows organisations to create, manage, and update dynamic QR codes after they have been printed, addressing common limitations of static QR codes that become outdated when links or content change. By enabling centralised updates without reprinting physical materials, the system supports continued use across signage, packaging, menus, review prompts, and other printed touchpoints. The platform has been developed for small and medium-sized businesses, hospitality venues, service providers, and organisations that rely on printed QR codes as lasting access points rather than short-term campaign assets. It also supports in-house QR code printing workflows, allowing digital destinations and physical materials to be managed within a single operational process.
The launch reflects a broader shift in how organisations deploy QR codes for print and digital use in everyday operations. QR codes are now widely used to connect customers to websites, digital menus, downloadable content, and information pages, making long-term link accuracy increasingly important. In practice, printed QR code formats such as stickers remain widely deployed across retail, hospitality, and service environments, where physical touchpoints provide access to digital content over extended periods. Readers interested in how printed QR code stickers are used across these settings can view QR code sticker use cases @ http://www.qrcodestickers.co.uk, which reflect ongoing adoption of QR codes as part of physical customer-facing materials rather than temporary campaign tools.
QR codes are also commonly used within customer feedback and review workflows, particularly in service-based industries where printed prompts remain visible over time. In these environments, maintaining accurate destinations is essential as review links, platforms, or workflows change. Organisations examining how QR codes support feedback collection can explore review workflow examples @ http://www.review.cards, which illustrate how printed QR prompts continue to play a role in customer engagement even as digital destinations evolve. “Many organisations lose control of their QR codes shortly after deployment due to inflexible technology and disconnected printing workflows,” said Mark Hickman, Co-Founder of xcan.it, noting that QR codes are often printed once and expected to remain in place for long periods, even as links or platforms change.
Beyond information access and feedback collection, QR codes continue to be used in environments where printed materials remain visible for extended periods. In these settings, the ability to update destinations without replacing physical materials helps reduce operational disruption when content or links change. xcan.it supports such use cases by allowing QR code destinations to be updated over time while keeping printed materials in place, enabling continuity across physical and digital touchpoints.
