What is a Resolver?

A Resolver acts as a bridge, allowing various kinds of product information to become accessible when a 2D Barcode is scanned. With 2D Barcodes, there are two paths you can take:

1. Without a Resolver: Without a Resolver, scanning a 2D Barcode will direct you only to a specific webpage via its URL, limiting the information to a single source.

2. With a Resolver: Incorporating a Resolver service transforms the 2D Barcode into a portal to diverse information sources. It enables smooth transitions between different scans of the same barcode, providing access to various data such as recipe suggestions, product details, retailer locations, and information in multiple languages.


Let's explore some real-world scenarios:

• Teresa, a sustainability-conscious fashion label owner, wishes to inform her customers about the origins and environmental impact of her garments.

• Mark, struggling with prescription instructions, turns to scanning the 2D Barcode for guidance.

• Isabel, from Argentina, retrieves Spanish language instructions for her UK-made watch through a simple scan.

• Lana, a retail assistant, quickly checks pricing information by scanning items at the point of sale.

A single scan can provide individuals with the necessary information. Consumers can effortlessly scan a 2D Barcode containing a Digital Link, accessing full product details straight from the manufacturer.

Link Types, set up on a Resolver Platform, allow for different scans of the same 2D Barcode to navigate to various destinations, enhancing the user experience and allowing for seamless access to information.
