Tracking vs. Analytics: What's the Difference?
QR Code Tracking
Focuses on capturing raw scan data—who scanned, when, where, and with what device. It's the foundational data collection layer.
QR Code Analytics
Analyzes and interprets tracking data to provide insights. Includes reports, visualizations, trends, and actionable recommendations.
Think of tracking as the "what happened" and analytics as the "what it means." Both work together to give you complete visibility.
