About Egoditor

Egoditor is the leading provider of dynamic QR codes and marketing campaign analytics solutions with over 300,000 customers from 190 countries.  

The software enables customers to create dynamic QR codes in their own design and manage them centrally in one place. With dynamic QR codes, the information behind them (e.g. a link to a website) can be changed at any time without having to adjust the QR code itself. Scanning statistics can be evaluated via the analytics software, including how often, when, where and with which device the code was scanned.  

The areas of application for QR codes are almost limitless: from printing them on food packaging (link with further information on the origin of the ingredients) to table displays in restaurants (retrieving the menu or linking to a rating site such as Trustpilot) to printing them on business cards (direct storage of contact data in digital form).

Expansion of the management teams to relieve the executive leadership and assistance in recruiting key executives for positions such as Chief Financial Officer, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Vice President Product, and Director Business Operations
