Application & Benefits

Some of the many applications of NFC technology are

Contactless payments - An NFC enabled mobile phone acts as a substitute for a credit card and can be used at any POS terminal that is NFC enabled. This alone has the potential to revolutionize the retail, public transport and travel industries - to name just a few - by changing consumer spending patterns.

In store promotions - Promotions would benefit from the presence of Smart Devices or Smart Posters in stores which, by simply tapping your phone against them, would then enable the instant customization of merchandising and promotions for customers. They can also find assistance in locating out of stock products on the web-store, or redeem loyalty points and handle other customer centric transactions smoothly.

P-2-P and seller-buyer data exchange and social intel - Individuals are able to exchange data with each other instantly, or send and receive relevant data to the store and to social networks through the smart posters in the store. This integrates into all the store formats and works to the advantage of the social shopping phenomenon.
