Tether Tools - QR Code App

Simplifying Photo Management for Professionals

The Goal

Create a purpose-built mobile and web app that helps photographers organize large-scale shoots through QR code technology, automated metadata tagging, and seamless bulk workflow tools.

The Challenge

Tether Tools is a recognized leader in bridging the gap between digital cameras and image processing with innovative connectivity solutions.

To further support professional photographers, they wanted to create a QR-based application that could:

  • Streamline image organization during large shoots (like school portraits)
  • Pre-assign subject information for faster editing and categorization
  • Eliminate the time-consuming task of sorting through thousands of unnamed images

Key Outcomes

  • Designed and developed a QR app purpose-built for photographers
  • Delivered a metadata-based system for pre-organizing bulk shoots
  • Reduced post-shoot admin time with bulk actions and dashboard tools‍
  • Helped Tether Tools expand its product suite into image workflow innovation
