Turn a QR code into the start of an automated workflow.
QR Workflow Tools connect a physical touchpoint — a product, document or service counter — to a digital, app-free workflow with configurable automated actions on the other end. Smart Print Kiosk is the primary live implementation of this pattern.
The business problem
Physical products, documents and service counters are often disconnected from digital systems, forcing manual handoffs at every step.
The old way
A customer or staff member has to physically hand over a document or ask a question at the counter, with no direct digital entry point into the relevant workflow.
The Ambic system
QR-enabled workflows that connect physical products, documents and service counters with digital information and automated actions.
The workflow
Workflow map based on the documented system design — no fabricated interface or deployment claim.
