Ring. Teach your QR codes new tricks.
Every product has a story — but too often it goes untold. Multiple codes for checkout, engagement, and logistics create unnecessary complexity, friction, and missed opportunities. Ring℠ GS1-Compliant Digital Link changes that. With a single GS1-compliant QR code, Ring℠ and Delivr’s Intelligent Link Management unify retail, compliance, consumer engagement, and supply chain use cases — replacing multiple codes with one scalable, future-ready standard trusted by the world’s leading brands.
A GS1-compliant Digital Link with Consumer Experience in its simplest form.
How it works.
A Delivr GS1-compliant Digital Link enables a single QR code to support retail, consumer engagement, and supply chain use cases within one standards-based URI. The link resolves to a branded product experience, while also carrying a structured GS1 element string (e.g., GTIN and attributes) embedded in accordance with GS1 Digital Link standards.
This multi-function approach enables seamless interoperability across supply chain and retail systems, while unlocking rich, dynamic consumer engagement—all through a single, globally standardized identifier.
Retail
At point of sale, scanning systems extract and interpret only the GS1 identification data to support established retail workflows, including item identification and checkout.
Consumer Engagement
When scanned by a mobile device, the resolver prioritizes the web address, seamlessly directing users to the appropriate consumer-facing digital experience.
Supply Chain
Across the supply chain, the same identifier enables product identification, traceability, and data exchange — from manufacturing and distribution through to retail — supporting efficient scanning, verification, and interoperability between trading partners.
The Problem. Too Many Codes. Too Much Confusion.
Traditional packaging often includes separate codes for:
- POS checkout (UPC / EAN)
- Consumer engagement (marketing QR codes)
- Internal logistics & traceability
