SDS – Safety Data Sheets

Delivering the sheet to the customer isn't enough: every revision under Article 31(9) must be sent without delay to recipients supplied in the previous 12 months. Missing an update: administrative fines up to €60,000.

Distribute SDS with no risk

With SDS Manager you send sheets to your customers, propagate updates to those who received them and keep proof of every transmission. Fully tracked, supporting compliance.

QRCube®: Smart Sharing & Cloud Sync That Challenges Cloud Giants

QRCube®: smart sharing and cloud synchronization for secure SMEs
QRCube®: smart sharing and cloud synchronization for secure SMEs

How many times have you sent a Wetransfer link to a client, only to find out weeks later that the link expired just when it was needed? Or worse: realizing that the distributed technical manual contained outdated information?

Do you want to manage multiple files, folders, and videos with a single QR?

Certiblok® is launching QRCube®, a technology that promises to change the rules of the game in corporate document sharing. And it does so starting from an apparently simple intuition: transforming the classic QR code from a static tool into a dynamic portal for constantly updated content.

The innovation is significant. While many companies continue to juggle expiring Wetransfer links, oversized email attachments, and the constant fear of distributing obsolete versions of critical documents, Certiblok® offers a solution that combines ease of use with enterprise-grade security architecture.

It's not just a QR Code. It's an intelligent container

QRCube®: Smart Sharing & Cloud Sync That Challenges Cloud Giants — illustration 1

QRCube® represents the evolution of Certiblok®'s DRM® (Document Relationship Management) platform.

QRCube® allows you to select multiple files or entire folders and enclose them within a single code. Documents, videos, images: everything in one place, accessible with a simple scan.

But the true innovation lies in dynamic synchronization: once the code is printed – on machinery, a catalog, even a business card – the content can be modified, updated, or replaced from the cloud without ever having to reprint the physical support.

A paradigm shift that responds to a concrete need: in SME IT departments, managing technical and commercial documentation distributed across the territory is one of the most critical and least visible challenges. Until now.

Decentralized Security: The Answer to Ransomware

Certiblok® designed QRCube® by integrating a decentralized architecture from the outset: each file is fragmented into 80 parts, encrypted with AES 256 standard, and distributed across a global network of 26,000 nodes.

The result? There is no central server to attack. Files are encrypted with AES-256, split into 80 shards and distributed on a decentralised cloud; each edit creates a new version, previous versions are retained and activity is logged. An approach we call “Zero-Knowledge Security” which stands in stark contrast to centralized models like SharePoint or Google Drive.

IT administrators can also set granular controls: access expiry dates (useful for time-limited quotes), password protection, public or restricted visibility. All manageable from a centralized panel.

QRCube®: The Smartest Way to Share Your Information.
A single code. Infinite content. Total simplicity.

We identified many scenarios for QRCube® during pilot company tests, focusing on sharing and document synchronization issues.

In the manufacturing sector, the most immediate application concerns technical machinery documentation. A QRCube® sticker applied to industrial equipment allows the client to instantly access user manuals, conformity certificates, insurance policies – all together, all organized, all updated.

When certificates are renewed, the IT manager uploads the new files to the platform, and the physical QRCube® automatically displays the updated version. Zero on-site interventions.

In sales, agents can integrate QRCube® into business cards. Today the code shows the “Winter Collection” catalog, tomorrow – with a simple drag-and-drop – it becomes the “Summer Collection”. The client always consults updated material, without receiving dozens of subsequent emails with new attachments.

Files are encrypted with AES-256, split into 80 shards and distributed on a decentralised cloud; each edit creates a new version, previous versions are retained and activity is logged.

User experience at the heart of the project

One aspect that clearly emerges is the focus on the end-user experience. No app to download, no registration required. Scanning directly opens an optimized web interface with dynamic preview of files – PDFs, Office documents, videos – ready for consultation or download. It works on any computer or smartphone, in any context.

“We worked to eliminate any friction in access.” “The most sophisticated technology must remain invisible to the end user.”

With this launch, Certiblok® positions itself in a specific segment: SMEs looking for alternatives to cloud storage giants but unwilling to compromise on security and reliability. The proposal is clear: predictable costs, total data control, and architecture with restorable previous versions.

QRCube® is already available. We offer free Demos: we will show you how to strengthen confidentiality, accelerate processing times, and increase document control, with a platform designed for security and collaboration before any contractual commitment.

FAQ

What is QRCube®?
QRCube® is an innovative technology by Certiblok® that converts traditional static QR codes into dynamic, updateable portals for business documents, enabling intelligent file sharing and cloud synchronization.
How does QRCube® ensure document security?
QRCube® uses a decentralized architecture, fragmenting files into 80 parts, encrypting them with AES 256, and distributing them across 26,000 global nodes. This 'Zero-Knowledge Security' model, reinforced by blockchain validation, protects against ransomware and central server attacks.
Can I update content after printing a QRCube®?
Yes, the dynamic synchronization feature allows you to modify, update, or replace the content linked to a QRCube® from the cloud without needing to reprint the physical code or associated materials.
What are the primary use cases for QRCube®?
QRCube® is highly versatile, ideal for technical documentation on machinery (e.g., manuals, certificates), dynamic sales catalogs on business cards, and legal/compliance documents requiring verifiable, up-to-date information.
Is QRCube® easy for end-users to access?
Absolutely. QRCube® is designed for a seamless user experience, requiring no app downloads or registrations. Users simply scan the QR code to access an optimized web interface with dynamic file previews on any device.
