# Managed QR Code Services Source: https://ezqr.ca/managed-qr-codes Last modified: 2026-11-09 Description: A QR code company that runs your codes for you, from $729/month: brand-matched design, print-ready files, campaign changeovers and a monthly scan report. Your QR codes, run for you. An EZQR account manager designs them to your brand, gets them ready for print, changes where they point when your campaigns change, and tells you every month how they performed. **A managed QR code service means you never touch the dashboard unless you want to.** You tell us what's printing and what each code should open. We build the codes, hand your printer the files, swap the destinations on your campaign calendar, and send a plain-language scan report each month. The codes live in your own EZQR account, so you own them and can always see what we're doing. - **Retail and restaurant groups** rotating promotions, menus and in-store signage - **Property managers** with notices, amenity guides and resident forms across many buildings - **Clinics and service businesses** collecting reviews, intake forms and feedback - **Marketing teams** with more print campaigns than hours to manage them ## Managed QR Code Packages Monthly prices. 6-month minimum, then month to month.

[Tell us what you need](mailto:support@ezqr.ca?subject=Managed%20QR%20programs) and we'll put a program together. Prefer to do it yourself? Self-serve [Essentials plans](https://ezqr.ca/pricing) include the same dynamic codes and analytics. Reply times are business days and hours in your account manager's time zone. Not included: copywriting, photography, ad campaigns, social media management and printing costs. We work alongside whoever does those for you. ## What Every Managed Program Includes ### Codes that match your brand Your colours, your logo, and the dot and corner styles that suit your print, plus [frames with a call to action](https://ezqr.ca/custom-qr-code) like "Scan for the menu". We save the design as a theme, so every new code comes out the same. ### Print-ready files High-resolution PNG plus vector SVG and EPS that stay sharp from a business card to a banner, sized for where each code will go. We check contrast and size before anything goes to print. ### Changes on your calendar Send us your campaign dates once. When the promotion ends or the menu changes, we point the printed codes somewhere new, so nothing needs reprinting. We can also set codes to stop on a date when a limited-time offer ends. ### A report you'll actually read Each month: how many scans, where and when they happened, which devices people used, and what we recommend changing. No logging in required, though the full analytics are in your dashboard if you want them. ### Landing pages and documents On Program and Multi-location we build [hosted landing pages](https://ezqr.ca/qr-code-landing-pages) and update them with the content you send us, and swap in new menus, price lists and brochures as hosted PDFs, with 10 GB of document storage, so there's no website update waiting on someone else. ### You stay in control Everything lives in your own EZQR organization. Your team keeps its own logins and roles, can make an urgent change any time, and can download the full scan history as a CSV file. ## How a Managed QR Program Works 1. **Kickoff and audit.** A 45-minute call about what you print and what each code should do. We gather the codes you already have in circulation and test whether they scan reliably, and whether they can be changed without reprinting. 2. **Brand and build.** We set up your organization, create your brand theme, and build the first batch of codes, landing pages and documents for you to approve. 3. **Print.** Your printer gets files at the right sizes and formats. We're happy to talk to them directly. 4. **Run.** Each changeover happens on your schedule, and every destination is checked on a phone afterwards. 5. **Report.** A monthly summary of scans and changes, with recommendations for the next month. ## QR Code Services from a Canadian QR Code Company Most QR code companies sell you software and leave the work to you. EZQR builds the software and, on a managed program, does the work too. That makes us a QR code solution provider for teams that want the result without learning another tool. ### QR code design services Professional QR code design that matches your brand: your colours and logo, dot and corner styles chosen for how the code will be printed, and a frame with a call to action. Every design is saved as a theme, so code number 200 looks like code number 1. ### A QR code specialist on your account Your account manager knows what makes a printed code scan: size for the viewing distance, contrast, quiet zone and logo placement. They check each code before it goes to print and each destination on a phone after every change. ### QR code marketing campaigns, run on schedule Send your campaign calendar once. We switch printed codes to the next promotion on the date you choose, end limited-time offers on time, and report how each QR code marketing campaign was scanned. ### A QR code vendor your finance team can work with Monthly billing by credit card or invoice, in Canadian or US dollars, with no setup fee. We can complete supplier forms and work from a purchase order. Your codes and scan data are hosted in Canada. ## Managed vs. Self-Serve | | Self-serve Essentials | Managed program | | --- | --- | --- | | Dynamic codes and scan analytics | Included | Included | | Who designs and sets up codes | Your team | Your EZQR account manager | | Who changes destinations | Your team | We do, on your calendar | | Monthly scan report | Analytics in the dashboard | Written report, plus the dashboard | | Price | [See pricing](https://ezqr.ca/pricing) | From $729 / month | ## Managed QR Code Services FAQ ## What is a managed QR code service? It is EZQR running your QR codes for you. Instead of your team learning another tool, an EZQR account manager designs your codes to your brand, prepares the print files, changes where the codes point when your campaigns change, and sends you a monthly report on how they were scanned. It runs on the same [editable QR codes](https://ezqr.ca/editable-qr-codes) and scan analytics as our self-serve plan, with a person doing the work. ## Are you a QR code agency? For QR codes, yes. Think of us as a QR code agency that only does QR codes, on a platform we build ourselves: we design the codes, prepare the print files, run the campaign changes and report on scans. We are not a general marketing agency, so we don't write ad campaigns or run social media. If your marketing agency handles the creative, we can work alongside them as the QR code service provider. ## Who makes QR codes for businesses? You have three options. You can make a static QR code yourself in seconds with [our generator](https://ezqr.ca/), which is free forever. You can make editable codes yourself on a self-serve [Essentials plan](https://ezqr.ca/pricing). Or you can have a QR code company make them for you: on a managed program, an EZQR account manager designs your codes, prepares the print files and keeps them up to date. If you are wondering where to get a QR code made for your business, any of the three works. The managed program suits businesses with many codes in print and no time to look after them. ## Why hire a QR code specialist instead of a freelance designer? A one-off design job gets you an image file. A QR code specialist also looks after what happens once it is printed: checking the code scans at its printed size, changing where it points when your campaign changes, and reporting how often it gets scanned. On a managed program, your codes are also editable, so a new promotion never means a reprint. And they live in your own EZQR account, not someone else's. ## Who owns the QR codes? You do. Every code we make lives in your own EZQR organization, and we work in it as a member of your team. You can see and edit everything yourself at any time, and your scan history is yours to download as a CSV file. ## What happens to my printed codes if I stop the service? They can keep working. When a managed program ends, you can move your organization to the self-serve Essentials plan at the [price on our pricing page](https://ezqr.ca/pricing), and every printed code keeps scanning and stays editable. Your team simply takes over the changes. Static QR codes we made for you keep working forever, with or without a plan. ## Is there a contract or minimum term? Managed programs start with a 6-month minimum, because the first months include the audit, brand setup and rollout. After that they continue month to month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. You can move up a package at the start of any month, and move down once the 6-month minimum ends. ## What counts as a campaign changeover? One changeover is one request to switch a group of printed codes to new destinations on one date - for example, moving every table tent from the summer menu to the fall menu, or pointing window decals at a new promotion. Each changeover covers up to 25 codes on Campaign, 50 on Program and 150 on Multi-location, and includes updating the destinations, checking each one on a phone, and noting the change in your next report. A promotion's start and its end count as one changeover. Send requests at least 3 business days ahead. Unused changeovers don't carry over to the next month; if you regularly need more, moving up a package is the better fit. ## What doesn't count as a changeover? Fixing a mistake we made never counts. Small fixes don't count either: up to 3 a month of a single code whose page moved or stopped working. A request with less than 3 business days' notice counts as two changeovers, and we'll tell you before we start if it will. ## Do you print the codes? We prepare everything your printer needs - high-resolution PNG files, vector SVG and EPS files, and [print sheets](https://ezqr.ca/qr-code-sheet-generator) laid out at an exact size - and we can work directly with your printer on sizing and placement. The printing itself is ordered and paid for with your printer, so you keep the supplier and pricing you already have. ## Can my team still make changes themselves? Yes. Your team keeps full access to your organization. Editors can update a code on the spot when something urgent comes up, and viewers can watch the analytics. We keep track of what changed so the monthly report stays accurate. ## What is in the monthly scan report? Scans for each code over the month, the cities, regions and countries they came from, the split between phones, tablets and desktops, the hours when people scan, and what changed since last month - written up in plain language with a few recommendations. The numbers come from the same [scan analytics](https://ezqr.ca/track-qr-code-scans) you can open in your dashboard any time. ## Where is our data stored? In Canada. EZQR is a Canadian company, and codes and scan data are [hosted in Toronto](https://ezqr.ca/qr-code-data-residency-canada). Dynamic code scanning is covered by our [99.95% uptime SLA](https://ezqr.ca/sla), measured by an independent public monitor. ## How do we pay? Monthly, by credit card or by invoice, in Canadian or US dollars, plus applicable taxes. Your quote shows the exact amount in your currency. There is no setup fee. If your organization needs a purchase order, a supplier form or a signed agreement before you start, ask us when you get in touch. See [our pricing page](https://ezqr.ca/pricing) for the self-serve plan. --- EZQR: static QR codes are free forever; dynamic QR codes (editable destination, scan analytics) require a plan.
