Executive Summary

Marketers and developers increasingly struggle to create, manage, and measure QR-driven campaigns—free generators leave no attribution and marketing teams can’t tie scans to conversions across retail, hospitality, and events. This creates wasted spend and manual reconciliation work for both growth teams and product engineers who need reliable offline-to-online signals. You could build a SaaS QR management platform that combines a marketer-facing dashboard with campaign analytics and developer-first APIs/SDKs, supporting dynamic QR codes, redirect rules, A/B testing, and privacy-compliant attribution. Offer low-touch $24/year tiers for SMBs plus higher-value enterprise features (SLA, SSO, deeper attribution) to capture upsells. The market is sizable and timely: about $3.6B total addressable market (150M businesses × $24 ACV), persistent contactless behavior, and rising demand for offline-to-online attribution—reflected in a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential of 82/100. Developer adoption of marketing stacks means an API-first product can accelerate distribution if positioned correctly. You can differentiate by focusing on meaningful analytics and developer ergonomics rather than just QR generation—think robust attribution models, easy SDKs, and integrations into marketing and analytics stacks. Be upfront that competition is high and per-customer ACV is low, so winning requires developer-led distribution, clear ROI for marketers, and productized features that justify paid tiers.
