QR Codes with Mobile Form for public feedback and fault reporting

This sample mobile form shows you how you can enable anyone to provide location-aware feedback for fault reporting without developing special Apps.

Street light not working? just scan QR code, take photos and done. Same with pavement obstructions, pipes, bridges, underpasses, falling trees, guard rails etc.

Today most people in cities have smartphones with good connectivity, GPS and camera - all very useful in providing instant, precise feedback. This sample shows you how to do this in minutes.


Scan the above QR Code and see for yourself how this works without requiring the user to install any special App. 

Since all this is just a normal Qryptal Mobile Form, all the uploaded photos and videos appear in the report:


Further notification emails can be forwarded to your normal fault reporting address or you can use web-hooks to get each form fill notification posted to your server.

We have made the above sample a ready to use template. Clicking on the button below will give you a copy of the above mobile form loaded and ready for you to try, customize and use:

Airline QR Code Scavenger Hunt

Media_http2dcodecouki_graqj

"Under the title “Crack the Code” the QR Code posters are displayed in cafes, restaurants and shops around Istanbul’s main attractions. Six different QR Codes are encoded with a letter and the six letters together form a word which is required to enter the competition. First prize is two airline tickets, two nights at a 4-star hotel and an exclusive helicopter tour."

Scavenger Hunts are a great fun use case for QR Codes. We also have a lot of customer interest in this and are thinking of creating a quick start template for such campaigns.

QR Codes Streamline Permitting in Roanoke, Va.


'Roanoke officials see the QR codes on permit placards, added last spring, as a valuable service they can provide to their customers. McHugh reports that the main reason customers use QR codes is to request an inspection once they’ve reached a certain stage of their project.
”It's really just another tool that we can utilize, and something to give a little bit of ease to our customers in the community,” he said.'

Another great use case for QR Codes!

Managing such projects on a large scale becomes easier with specialized technologies like:

QR code tagging project in Philippines

"Examples of a Cebu cultural heritage with a QR code is the San Juan Bautista Parish Church located in Pari-an. This church is a small but unremarkable chapel that stands on the ruins of what used to be the most opulent church in Cebu. That church was torn down, reportedly in the late 1870s, because of a conflict between Pari-an residents and a Spanish friar. So there you are, looking at a small, unexceptional chapel but your phone is showing you the grand San Juan Bautista Church as it used to stand."

Another good use case for tourism. Content and QR Codes for projects like these can be managed easily with:

QR Codes in Monmouth, Wales: First 'Wikipedia Town' Going Live in Wales

Media_httpwww1pcmagco_xmdbn

QR codes are affixed to local points of interest, enabling passersby to immediately access the Wikipedia page for that location.

A nice use case of making it easy to get to relevant information with QR codes right there an then with your mobile phone. The strategy was well thought out for tourists with town providing Wi-Fi access at those locations.

Student's push to make Raleigh more walkable relies on homemade signs and QR codes -- Engadget

QR Codes on public signs are great for guiding and providing information to residents and tourists alike.

Another great use case is putting QR Codes on trails/parks so that visitors can store an area map and emergency contact information on their phones. Here is code from last year:
