Understanding QR Tags

MyTags uses unique Quick Response (QR) codes to identify your items.

How They Work

Each tag has a unique web address (URL) —

  1. You link this code to your Asset.

  2. They scan the code with any smartphone camera.

  3. We connect them to your Asset's public profile page.
