Well, that was quite a year, wasn’t it? It certainly wasn’t the year any of us were expecting, but we are proud to say it has still been a busy time for us, supplying all our customers and more importantly keyworkers with the ID, access control and PPE essentials they’ve needed.
We’ve introduced a few innovative new products along the way too so we’d like to give you a little insight into the main events and a look at how we’re helping businesses meet the demands of the “new normal”.
QR codes have been around for years. Businesses use them to track inventories and orders, even utilising them within access control systems on some occasions.
But now they are being quietly being put to work in a very different way. In fact, they could soon be part and parcel of our daily activities. Here’s how the coronavirus pandemic is giving the humble QR code somewhat of a renaissance.
The government has confirmed it is planning to introduce a new form of digital ID in the future. Booking GP appointments, proving their age and showing they have a right to work and rent in the UK are just a few of the things digital ID would enable people to do.
Given our name (and the fact we supply identification solutions to businesses and organisations across multiple sectors) we thought we’d put our own thoughts forward covering some background info on the idea itself, its benefits, along with some potential pitfalls for the government to avoid if the project goes ahead.
So let’s get to it.
