Business Horsham in collaboration with Brisbane Junior Chamber of Commerce has offered business owners the opportunity to use the technology, which helps keep track of visitors and replaces a pen and pad.
Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the business group is always looking for ways to help its members and the wider business community.

"The state government is yet to release their version of a QR Code system and this version from Queensland has been approved by their government and the Queensland Health Department," Ms Taig said.
"There are various QR Code systems on the market, but the majority of them are foreign owned.
"Most of the data collected is shipped overseas and not covered by Australian privacy law."
A lack of Australian made and secure products led to the creation of Safe Visit.
"We wanted to make our members aware of Safe Visit and we hope that across the community, people start to use it," Ms Taig said.
"It's a simple and effective tool and great for contact tracing."
Hospitality venues are required to keep a register of guests and Ms Taig said contact tracing will stay for many months to come.
"Contact tracing is something that's going to go on for a long time," she said.
"Our easing of restrictions is great but the need for businesses to be able to trace our customers is going to be a requirement for some time."
