At Tenera, we leverage QR codes to seamlessly connect physical locations within our clients’ buildings to customized issue reporting and quality assessment forms. By placing QR codes in strategic areas, these forms are automatically linked to their specific locations, allowing us to track the overall quality and maintenance status of different sections of a building, and report key details to property management.
This system also provides a flexible foundation for future features, such as linking QR codes to warranty documents, inspection history dashboards, or even acting as a shortcut to start direct communication with Tenera experts through our Live Inspections application.
This approach makes the technology highly accessible to on-site personnel, streamlining the workflow by allowing them to report issues directly to Tenera without the need for property management to mediate, ultimately making maintenance management simpler and more efficient. Meanwhile, property management teams gain valuable insights into the quality and upkeep of their buildings, benefiting from clear, location-specific data on maintenance and overall building health.
What are QR Codes?
QR codes, or Quick Response codes, are two-dimensional barcodes that can store various types of data, such as URLs, text, or contact information. Originally developed in the automotive industry, QR codes have evolved into a versatile tool used across multiple industries for easy and instant data access.
How QR Codes Work
QR codes function by encoding information into a grid of black and white squares, which are read by a camera or scanner. The code’s structure includes data modules, error correction levels, and specific patterns that allow for quick and accurate scanning. Different versions of QR codes can store varying amounts of data, making them adaptable for a wide range of applications. For our use cases, the classic method of storing a web URL in the QR code is the main mode of interaction.
Tenera’s Dynamic QR Code Implementation
Unlike static QR codes, Tenera uses dynamic QR codes, which can be updated and repurposed without needing to reprint the physical code. This allows us to continually enhance the user experience, adapting the information or actions linked to each code over time. This adaptability means our QR codes can evolve to meet new business needs, improving accessibility and engagement without any disruption to existing workflows.
How Tenera Uses QR Codes
Tenera’s dynamic QR code implementation allows us to generate and print QR codes in advance and program them as needed, even after they’ve been placed. This flexibility is invaluable for agents in the field, enabling them to set up and program QR codes without requiring on-site access to a printer. Our QR codes can be customized for various purposes, offering multiple functionalities that enhance the end-user experience.
Issue Submission Forms: These QR codes lead directly to service request forms, allowing customers to report problems at their location. This streamlined process notifies Tenera of the issue, enabling us to quickly assess, suggest solutions, and often respond without needing to send an inspector on-site, saving time and resources.
Assessment Forms: Designed for custodial or maintenance staff, these forms are used during routine inspections to report issues or confirm that specific areas are in good condition. Because each QR code is a unique link, Tenera can automatically identify the exact location of the reported issue, providing immediate context and insights to the property management team.
Warranty Information: Our QR codes can be permanently placed on-site by coating them in clear epoxy, ensuring they remain functional for years. These codes can store essential warranty information for completed jobs, making it easy to track the service provider, warranty terms, and contact details. In the event of a recurring issue, scanning the code provides instant access to all necessary information, streamlining the process of addressing the problem with the right service provider.
Summary
Tenera’s use of dynamic QR codes connects physical spaces with customized digital experiences, enhancing communication and operational efficiency for our clients. By linking QR codes to issue submission and assessment forms, we streamline the process of reporting and managing building maintenance, giving property management valuable insights into the quality of their facilities. Our programmable QR codes not only simplify the reporting process for on-site personnel but also provide long-term benefits, such as tracking warranty information and evolving to meet future needs. This technology not only bridges the gap between physical and digital environments but also ensures that Tenera can continuously improve and adapt the user experience over time, without the need for complex installations or on-site modifications.
