Our portfolio is our success
In just two years, in collaboration with the founders, FLEX Capital has transformed Egoditor from a hidden champion based in Bielefeld into a global market leader in QR software.
Egoditor GmbH is the international SaaS provider behind qr-code-generator.com and the all-in-one QR Code marketing platform, QR Code Generator PRO. Egoditor was founded in 2009 by Nils Engelking and Nils Drescher as a two-man startup in Bielefeld and was an early adopter of QR code technology. In 2019, FLEX Capital took over the majority of the shares. The growing demand for simpler digital tools paved the way for the QR code generator to become an industry leader. Today it has more than ten million users in more than 190 countries. Customers range from small and medium-sized businesses in all industries to global brands and nonprofits. These include Starbucks, Zalando, Salvation Army, Accor and GAP. In addition to the free generator tool – which is offered in more than 30 languages - Egoditor offers a professional service for custom QR codes, multilingual customer support and a detailed scan tracking tool. Ultimately, Egoditor aims to make mobile marketing valuable and accessible to everyone, one scan at a time.
