QR codes South Africa - mobile business information system


Wow! What a find.

I stumbled across a solution written by a bunch of developers in South Africa (http://www.code-innovation.co.za). Its all about being green, making things more effecient and more importantly saving and making money for the SME community at the same time.

As first I thought it was too good to be true, then I tried it for myself and saw the power behind their thinking and solution - I thought their QR codes South Africa was a great idea too.

In a nutshell, they created a mobile business information system, which a business owner uses to speed up the data collection of their sales and delivery information from the field using their mobile devices.

The 'innovators' as they call themselves, came up with a brilliant web based application, where the business owner creates their own solution filling in forms and it populates a mobile based solution with statistics and graphing. Data has integration hooks into customers systems, so quickly and cheaply, the whole solution can be rolloed out and be put to making money in minutes!(with a bit of thought and training of course)

Dont let me carry on rambling about this, go see it for yourself for more information : http://www.code-innovation.co.za/qr-codes/

This one a clever little barcode which stores your business details! Create the 2d barcode, and print it on your business card. When you scan it , it will add all the details matched to your phone address book and ask if you want to save the data.

They - facebook - likes it!

Its official!

Ive plugged in the facebook 'like' app on my site and I've started seeing the results! About 10% of all people that completed the form and created a 2d business barcode have not only saved their 2d barcode / qr code but also clicked the Like button.

This is promising, as it shows the rest of the world that previous visitors have found the solution fun,exciting or even useful! I'm yet still to see any large amounts of traffic from the link though :(

One downside is that you will not see the peoples profile unless they are your friends, which may make it a little less powerful.

Im still very excited, and cant wait to see where this goes

Mobile surveys are the way of the future!

Yes! I said it, mobile surveys are the way of the future!

I've been dabbling in a few myself. What are they? Well the secrets in the name ;)

Mobile surveys are electronic surveys run online and submitted via your mobile phone / cell phone. Much the same as web surveys, they share the same data capture functions - radio buttons, text fields, check boxes - which is great for structured data collection! The reason I think they are that great is that you can have your answers from the field, and you can get feedback really quickly - with most answers coming through within 1 hour after the request. You can plug in an sms solution to send the link to the phone and run competitions and things through this medium. To top off all of the above, it shows signs of being environmentally friendly!

I could go on and on about it, or you could simply try it yourself!

I found a free mobile survey at http://www.m0b1le.net

Search and you will find

So this weeks mission statement - figure out if mobile SEO is indeed something that anyone is thinking about. SEO is a hot topic amoung web devs and interactive teams alike, but Ive yet to hear the word 'mobile' slung before the ever growing popular phrase. Using search has yielded a few results, with some pretty good info floating about - sadly, those writing about it are saying that you should stay clear and rather use SEM mechanics to drive mobile traffic.

Mobile world wide is far larger than pc based surfing, therefore there should be a little more effort put into this trade? ive been watching the numbers on my own mobile-ised version of my site - m.m0b1le.net and have been surprised that I am indeed getting traffic to the source. I havent even spent any time on SEO on the site. I will do now though and see if it helps.

Has anyone else out there been spending any time on mobile seo? care to share about your experiences, or even if you feel it worth it?

I still think there must be value it in somewhere - all the hype with ad placement being clicked on more on mobile then pc blah blah blah.

Well until next time. Happy Easter everyone.
