Join a site from a QR poster, with no app store account

The onboarding problem

Getting people onto a safety tool is the slow part of a rollout. Typing in forty names and chasing store accounts eats a week. Put a QR poster at the gate or in the site office instead, and each worker joins the site their company has already set up.

What the worker sees

• Scan the poster with the phone camera
• The join page opens in the browser, with no install beforehand
• Enter a name and email and agree to join the company’s site
• The page then shows how to install the app on that phone

The page recognises the kind of device. Android, iPhone and desktop each get their own steps, and a phone that already has the app is told so. The site code travels with the link, so the worker lands in the right site. A link with a bad code stops at an invalid-code screen.

What the manager does

Put the poster up. Workers are free and never counted in pricing. A manager can also invite workers directly where that suits better, for example for people who don’t carry a phone to site.

Limits, stated plainly

Anyone who walks past can photograph a QR code on a wall. Treat the poster like a site induction sign. Put it where workers are, and check the list of people on your site now and then. A bad or out-of-date code shows an invalid-code screen, so nobody ends up joined to the wrong site.
